I have too. But I'm not sure that comfort is what they need. I've seen a lot of people get better after competent treatment by psychotherapists with antidepressants and antianxiety drugs.

My guess is that if you stacked all of the DD degrees against the MD degrees you'd find an unequivocal evidence that professional treatment produces better results.

Sure we are already screwed up. Thousands of years doing the same thing over-and-over-and-over-and-over again should have taught us something. IT ISN'T WORKING. Time we tried something else.
