> In the US you meet with one for 15m, get prescribed a cocktail of drugs, a few months later you report if it worked, and if not they'll up the dose or play around with the cocktail. I don't know how we call that stuff science.

Is that not science? It's on a small scale but this is all they have to work on. We don't understand enough, it is all trial and error.

I note that not all psychs operate this way, mine would not give me a perscription until several visits in.
