Equine Therapy > Prescription Drugs

Here is a snippet from a Psych Central article that I thought is really relative to equine assisted therapy. So many people in the U.S are over-diagnosed, when they are just reacting to a situation the way anyone would! 

"According to the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 25 percent of Americans suffer from some sort of mental illness. The vast majority of those are taking psychotropic drugs. That’s a lot of disturbed Americans.

Or is it? Perhaps that high statistic is nothing more than normal emotional reactions being over-diagnosed and over-medicated.

Are there ways to help without harming? Yes! Consider equine assisted therapy. This consists of teaching people how to cope with difficult situations, become more resilient, and manage their emotions — all without diagnoses and medication."
