Lancet Psychiatry: "Do we need to talk?"

Yes, we need to talk. And the links I have collected here point to a theme I would like to talk about: 

PEOPLE ARE NOT LAB RATS

LAB RATS ARE NOT NATURAL RATS IN NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS

EVIDENCE-BASED PSYCH : HUMAN LIVES = RATRUNNING : ECOLOGY

There will be more comments later, for now I’m just quoting the conclusion:

Some people benefit from drugs; some from psychotherapy; some from simple lifestyle changes (including cat ownership); and some from all three. Mental health professionals must work together and learn from one another to give patients timely, appropriate, and honest advice regarding the best options for them. 

And inserting a relevant question:
