Susan:
Kevin, where did you find these statistics? I've hunted for cure rates and
so far have only found that depression has an 80% cure rate. Other
psychiatric problems would have different rates, I assume.

Susan

Hi Susan,
I agree that depression has a 80% recovery rate. However I would be
interested in double blind studies which show what part specific treatments
play in the recovery rates. Living organisms have a remarkable ability to
heal themselves.
