I think we're qualified "enough" to say that if there's even a chance that religion can bring a calm to ones life that its an option they should try first. It's not going to work in all cases and in some cases we know it just WILL NOT work no matter what. But the Pharm industry hasn't exactly been hitting the ball out of the park in the area of mental issues either. I think Americans have been groomed to believe immediate gratification can come in a pill and we haven't reached that level yet. Somewhere between pill pushers, religion, productivity and just living right there is a balance. All too often it seems like people never find that balance because they go from one extreme to the other in many of the above areas and more.

Someone could find themselves in a position where chanting with Hara Krishnas at the airport prevents psychotic outbursts.

Actually, the absence of Hare Krishnas in airport terminals has prevented more than a few psychotic outbursts on my part in recent years.
