Regarding non-medical counselors: They can be plenty helpful, but they are not allowed to prescribe drugs; and drugs often make a huge difference.
I don’t think that there any good evidence that on average drug interventions do better than non-drug interventions.
Having talked with the efim myself yesterday for 40 minutes I don’t think the main issue for writing this post is solved with drugs.
Perhaps not, but there is good evidence for drugs+therapy doing better than either alone.
I’m not aware of it. Drugs can sometimes help but they can also destablise brains. They have Goodhart’s law problems.
