Yikes. That must be so frustrating to see. Those “natural” factors are just some variables that can absolutely help but they aren’t magic nor work for everyone (especially considering how depressed they are, comorbidity, etc.).

What we should be advocating are these “natural” aids as building a physically healthy and mental health-supporting foundation for our bodies. And meds 100% belong alongside that. There are chemical reactions involved that no amount of "sunshine” is going to rewire. We should be supporting those who are dismantling the stigma of medication and doing what they need to do.
