草药通常用于治疗精神问题，但实际上没有关于年轻人或患者在治疗中使用这些物质的数据。描述了四名青少年在精神病治疗期间使用圣约翰草的情况。其中三名患者不愿向他们的精神科医生透露这一点，他们认为医生对替代医学没有兴趣，或者会不赞成。患者认为处方药物有局限性，天然产品是安全的，这促成了草药疗法的使用。这些病例提出了许多问题，包括临床医生需要定期询问患者替代药物的使用情况，更多地了解这些治疗方法，并与患者客观地讨论这些方法。
Herbal remedies are commonly used for psychiatric problems, but there is virtually no data about the use of these substances by young persons or by patients in treatment. Four adolescents who used St. John's Wort while under psychiatric care are described. Three of the patients had been reluctant to reveal this to their psychiatrist, believing the doctor had no interest in alternative medicine or would disapprove. Patient beliefs that prescribed medication has limitations and that natural products are safe contributed to the use of herbal remedies. The cases raise a number of issues, including the need for clinicians to routinely ask patients about alternative medicine use, to learn more about these treatments, and to discuss these approaches objectively with patients.
