Proponents of herbal therapies frequently insist that traditional physicians must be made ready to accept so-called “alternative” or “complementary” treatments. In this month's issue of CNS Spectrums, two wonderful guest editors, Drs. Jonathan Davidson and Kathryn M. Connor, both of Duke University, help us turn that issue around. The real question for psychiatrists, neurologists, and neuroscientists is whether herbal treatments are ready for us.Due in large part to recent Congressional mandates, dietary supplements, even when proposed to work for medical conditions like depression and generalized anxiety disorder, do not require approval in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration as pharmaceutical agents.

Previous studies have suggested that altruistic behaviors for children and grandchildren (ABC) have a complex mechanism for psychiatric morbidity among parents and grandparents. The interaction between ABC and sense of obligation to children/grandchildren (SOC) may help to provide a better understanding of the association between ABC and psychiatric morbidity. In this study, we seek to investigate the association between the interaction of ABC and SOC and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depression (MD) using a nationally representative sample of middle-aged parents/grandparents in the United States (N = 2,193). Among women, feeling obligated was associated with MD regardless of ABC status. Among men, having SOC and providing informal assistance or financial support was associated with GAD morbidity. Further research that elucidates the complexity of the interaction of ABC and SOC on psychiatric morbidity among parents/grandparents is needed.
