General medical treatment is treatment by a non-psychiatrist physician or nurse or other medical practitioner who is not a mental health specialist. Psychiatrist treatment is treatment by a psychiatrist. Other mental health treatment is treatment by any mental health specialist other than a psychiatrist (e.g., psychologist, psychiatric social worker). Human services treatment is treatment by a minister, priest, rabbi, or other spiritual advisor or by a caseworker in a social services agency. CAM (Complementary-alternative medical) treatment is treatment in a self-help group on treatment by an alternative medical provider (e.g., massage therapist, chiropractor).
