yes, I agree with this nearly 100%. However, it's not always true in some cases. My psychiatrist is also in research and only has a small amount of patients outside of his predominating researching so he's very well informed of things that haven't gone public yet. For example, klonopin is less dangerous than benadryl or antihistamines of that class during a pregnancy. I don't think that has gone public yet or not, but I was so very thankful for his knowledge on the subject.
I do try for the smallest dose possible to manage my mood, and I know that some people who are taking mood-altering drugs really seem as though they just need therapy or some soul searching rather than medication.
I'm also a big fan for brain-health nutrition. I take two Omega-3 pills a day for example and also try for over-all physical health as well as just mental health, through nutrition and exercise.
