About the book

Patients ask about vitamins, herbs, and supplements every day, and most clinicians are never taught how to answer. Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Psychiatry: A Fact Book covers 67 CAM treatments on single-page fact sheets — evidence rating, dosing, safety, and interactions — graded by Chris Aiken, MD, against 1,796 placebo-controlled trials. Saffron, omega-3s, ashwagandha, St. John’s wort, magnesium, light therapy, and a closing section on the therapies best left in the ground.
