Meditation Vs. Medication
Meditation is often prescribed as an adjunct to traditional medicines, agree Amy Exum, Psychotherapist with Care & Counseling at Baptist Health South Florida and Mike Roisman, Psychotherapist at the same place.
Both recommend never changing any medication without first talking to the doctor who's prescribing it. Besides, they say if a patient has some sort of illness or some diagnosis, first he should ask his physician before even trying mindfulness or meditation.
