Wow... what an earful, or screenful...
But isn't it interesting how often some 'random' person on this BB turns out to know something useful about a RL issue that comes up.
I have not been a 'consumer' of psychoactive drugs for many years, having only been on Ritalin for a bit as a young kid, but from what I have gathered in my own reading this seems pretty close to the truth of the situation with 'psychiatry' today. Too many people just want a 'pill' to 'fix' their problems, and too many psychiatrists are willing to go along, or even push the 'pill' themselves. Worse, sometimes schools are 'requiring' kids to get drugged!
