This is a peer-reviewed chapter in an open access book, A Fresh Look at Anxiety Disorders. This chapter provides an overview of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and its relevance in psychiatric practice. Four case studies are discussed in which practitioners were open to the use of CAM and collaborated successfully with parents of youth with anxiety disorders. Vitamin D, melatonin, acupuncture, acupressure and craniosacral therapy are the CAM discussed. The chapter is accurate, relevant and clear. It is extensively referenced, and is still relevant today even though more up-to-date literature reviews are available. It is a technical reading that is best suited to nurses, physicians, nutritionists, mental health workers and other allied health professionals at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
