Syag: Who thinks they’re Shabtai Tzvi?
I hear both sides. People should try to deal with their problems and not just pop a pill every time they realize they’re not perfect. OTOH, medication make life easier for many people who would have a much harder time functioning without it.
I think the cutoff is: Are you working on your problem, or are you using the medication to cover up a problem? If the former, pills are good. The latter is dangerous and unhealthy.
