Bill, I don't know if the words below are yours or from some site you have visited. What I do know is that they seem to be a grand sweeping generalization. I really hate it when the "natural" community (of which I am a part) throws out all medical knowledge and medicine as useless. I could line up hundreds of people who will tell you how wrong the statement below is. While psychiatric drugs may be toxic and/or addictive in some cases, "practically useless" is a bit strong for my liking. I've seen all manner of quackery convince folks to throw away their meds only to land in a hospital or the morgue. The fact is, some folks are very sick and function only because some psychiatric medication allows them to overcome an imbalance. Watch one of these folks kill themselves because they gave up their medication and began thinking that the rat terrier was God telling them to destroy themselves and the world, and you may gain another perspective.
As for the rest of the post, perhaps CS could help these folks and perhaps not. I personally doubt that all mental illnesses have a like cause. The diverse nature of mental symptoms and the delicate systems of the brain/mind lead me to believe that there are any number of things that can create an imbalance. If CS works for some, great, but I bet it won't work for all, in which case we better keep some meds on hand too. I feel the same way about the antibiotic debate that has been going on lately. I for one am darn glad to have antibiotics because CS does not work for every malady. I hope you don't take this as a flame, I just hate to see us throw out everything related to medicine. It seems that at times we become as pompous as they.
