soliek i think what we can conclude from this very passionate discussion is that there is reason and justification for popping pills if necessary however one should not go looking for it because it does have potentially dangerous side effects.
there is some veracity to the claim that psychiatrists are script-happy, however they are not the only ones at fault…people DO doctor shop and ultimately the only data upon which a psychiatrist can rely when deciding whether or not to prescribe medication to a patient is what that patient decides to tell him.
