i absolutely agree. that meds should only be considered for people with more severe mental illness. because antidepressants are prescribed WAY too much. I have to take SSRI's with an antipsychotic. i feel better than i've felt in years, but im probably the exception, not the rule. they screw most people up. unfortunately im one of the tiny percentage thats more on the severe side. theres only 6 people in my therapy group if that means anything...lol. there arent as many "severely" ill people as you would think. out of 30 people in a "pre-therapy" group i did, only maybe 4 or 5 of us ended up in the intensive therapy.i will not take any pych pharmaceuticals they dont fix problems they just hide them away. i think they should only be used for severely ill people which is a tiny percentage of those on pych meds. they are massively over prescribed. any adult or child nowadays who says they think anything but happy thoughts ends up on these drugs. people treat doctors like there gods because of the title 'doctor'. in reality most are undereducated and negligent in there prescribing of drugs or they are just making money as you have to pay for appointments to renew scrips. also they benefit from the amount of a trademarked drug they prescribe hence why there are all those cute pens for free with drug companies products on them. it angers me to no end. politics and religion are the only things as upsetting.
