Are There Toxicological Factors in Alternative Therapies?
Alternative therapies, such as herbal supplements and nutritional therapies, are sometimes considered for TRD. However, the toxicological aspects of such treatments must be carefully evaluated. For example, St. John's Wort is a popular herbal remedy for depression, but it can interact with a wide range of medications, leading to potentially dangerous side effects. Ensuring the safety and efficacy of alternative treatments requires thorough toxicological assessment.
