But in that lies the difficulty. How do you change the mind of someone who is not willing to change? That person has to be the one to change from within and with conciousness/awareness.
How can medication help? Does it not numb the senses? Unless, ofcourse, there is a critical chemical missing in the body/brain. I suppose that would make sense.
Which thought altering therapy is better? Pyschiatric or spiritual?
Don't have much time so I'll try to expand on this later, but basically it's very difficult to change the mind of someone not willing to change, unfortunately.. However, medication can help with this as sometimes their unwillingness does have a biological cause. For example, it's common to give depressed patients antidepressants before starting therapy so they can get in the right mind-set; that is, so they can get out of bed and not think everyone hates them.
Which thought altering therapy is better? "Psychiatric" of course, spiritual is useless. Specifically, a psychologist who specialises in cognitive-behavioral therapy is your best option.
