Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Depression and natural therapies (2nd nomination)
to Treatment of depression ... which I had thought was the talkpage consensus up until this weekend. Like it or not, marketers frequently emblazon products with ''Natural!'' or ''All natural!'' as a selling point, which by implication if not intent puts this article in the 'doctors know only how to burn, poison, and cut' camp. This unnecessarily gives the article the appearance of a POV slant irrespective of the good work neutralizing the tone of the article itself. Alternative treatments to depression (as in Alternative medicine) is an option as a different way to organize the subarticles, but one that my fabulous psychic powers predict would swiftly devolve into an unending discussion of whether 'that which works' is inherently medicine rather than alternative medicine; also, diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes have always been mainstream. Further, many of the sources establishing ''natural'' as an organizational category conflate ''natural'' and ''alternative'', but we can do better than that. A much cleaner solution is simply to have the one spin-out from Major depressive disorder and |duly describe each treatment and practice there. Fuller treatments of each topic belong at the respective articles or sections
