People in the mental health industry believed that there were chemical causes to most mental health issues, and that drug therapies existed to treat these chemical imbalances.

Psychiatry went from couch time to prescriptions and doctors showed up on golf courses in record numbers. (I am kidding about the second part.)

Interestingly a friend who is a Psychiatrist recently told me that the best cure for many mental disorders was involvement in small communities. (Church, school groups, charity planning, etc.) I wonder the value of his advice. Or is small community involvement akin to couch therapy?
