In several countries in eastern and western Europe it is pretty much the same (as the American psychiatry). My brother has been depressed for quite some time (about 10-ish years) now and has seen psychiatrists in, for example, The Netherlands. The treatment there was indeed trying out a few different drugs to see what the effect of these is.<p>Fortunately, he is steadily (but slowly) improving but not thanks to drugs and psychiatry(he mostly stopped with any prescription drug 6 months after starting because it didn&#x27;t do anything besides numbing numbing him).
