Should my book have a different title?

I just returned from a writers and publishers conference and was advised that my book title may not truly reflect its content or audience.  I conceived the book as for a general audience of individuals who either suffer from depression and anxiety, their families or treatment providers.  I hoped to shed light on the problems in diagnosing and treating these problems in the hope that a more informed consumer would have a better outcome.  I also want to provide justification for a more rational approach to taking medications rather than the usual dogmatic extreme views.  Not accepting medications deprives the individual of hope, while an over reliance on medication deprives the individual of the satisfaction of helping oneself in therapy.  Unfortunately, extremist viewpoints taint healthy medium in many areas our world
