Asetians and Medication

This question may not make much sense to some of you, but I will ask for us to at least be able to make guesses and discuss.

Yet after another interesting conversation with a wise friend of mine about the Aset Ka, I heard that some medication that humans may take and heal with the help of, mostly for emotional problems, may do harm to a vampire's system, especially Asetian vampires. What do you think about this? Do you believe it is true, that many medication would not work on vampires or even do against what it should – heal? Imagine an Asetian going through such depressive and mentally emotional time, that they turn to pills for help... do you believe they will get even worse?

Oh and also, I have heard that a human psychologist can never, ever help heal an Asetian's mind if he or she is going through problems that is emotionally abusing/hurting them. So, if this is true, who can an Asetian turn to when he or she is in need of help from someone who can understand their mind? Are there psychology specialists in the Aset Ka? I'd think so...

I assume that someone that would be able to help would be someone who doesn't have a human soul, like a Keeper, or another Asetian.

But this may also be implying that there is nothing to be fixed in an Asetian's mind. Nothing to be healed in all actuality. Therefor, any medicines or psych treatments would have a completely negative affect.

What I heard someone say is... “Imagine a human using an animal's medication, or a cat using a dog's. It just won't work with their system.” when talking about this... but I don't believe that all medications or pills, like Advil and such, won't work. I believe only ones that effect emotionally... but I cannot be sure.

While an Asetian's body is human, their mind is not. It functions on an entirely different level, rendering emotions, thoughts, and psychological pains inflicted on the body to be done in a very different way than is expected by modern medicine. I think that's why it would be only bad to try to use normal approaches to solve problems. I could see an Asetian's mind as appearing to work backward and spiraling up a staircase from the perspective of a human, metaphorically.

((Oh, just thought I would mention I am saving up for the AB. I've practically memorized the intro by Mr. Marques already, though I've read it only 3 times. My memory is rather crisp when it comes to some things.))

Clearly, an Asetian can never rely on a regular psychologist or psychiatrist to aid him with any problems. Their minds work far differently than the minds of humans, on a mental and emotional level. A regular therapist would only confuse them more and make them worst. It would be the worst path an Asetian in trouble could take.
Also, it makes sense for some medication to have negative effects on an Asetian system. Most medications are highly chemical, and Asetians are beings of nature, far more sensitive than any other. Most chemical compounds used in modern medicine would be toxic to their systems and have negative effects. This clearly does not apply to all sorts of modern medicine, but it sure does to many, particularly those connected with depressions, emotions and mental aid.

The best way for an Asetian, to get out of an emotionally unhealthy state, is to surround themselves with the one they feel Love towards. I assume a Guardian would benefit the most from this. Another great way is natural healing, using stones, and energy healing done by a Viperine, which will greatly aid them.

I believe the Aset Ka has people specialized, within the order, who understands an Asetian mind, to aid them when in need of emotional help, since they can never trust or rely on a regular therapist. Simply imagine a Guardian or a Concubine going to a normal Psychiatrist, confessing how they feel like dying because the one they Loved has passed away. Not only they will be condemned, but they will surely be locked up and accused of being dangerous, when in fact their minds are not human, so what may be bad to a human eyes is simply normal to theirs.
