if I say I gotta headache... and I don't like taking meds
I will take a nap as my cure


if I say I gotta headache....and I don't mind taking meds
I will take pills as my cure

both work

few of our folks are open and receptive to mental health meds and treatment...there folks are often the opposite

my question is based more around the effectiveness of mental health treatment...I don't know if our current model 'works' and aint feel like googling a bunch of stats

I got mentally ill (white)co-workers and I question the effectiveness of their meds everyday

so ...for kids...black kids...my question is do the meds/therapy work....I only know one little boy on meds and it doesn't seem too... but I'm not naïve enough to use him as the anecdote


what are alternative treatments if any besides meds/therapy
