Message: [QUOTE="Umami Zen, post: 4703731, member: 10678"] FWIW.. Was on a path to being a clinical psychologist (at one time) and was employed as a counselor at a renowned private psychiatric hospital with a significant history of research in leading edge modalities for psychiatric issues/challenges. They had a two year study comparing the effectiveness of a psychotropic drug regiment (meds) vs transcendental meditation as a primary regimented behavior for stress relief (TM-twice a day) and to document and quantify its efficacy. The target group was a limited but closely monitored group of patients and were measured by the medical staff. It was a resounding success in concluding that TM could be/can be viable. It works for individuals who are interested in alternative paths to a healthy lifestyle and a clear mind.. And its a practice you can use and benefit from for the rest of your life. Good luck with finding a solution that works for you. [/QUOTE]
