This is the generation of medicated children!. It's so messed up!.
Here's an interesting fact: A lot of psychiatric medications are only approved for use for 6 months by the FDA!. Like anti-depressants and anxiety meds, especially!. Obviously people who have a chemical imbalance need the meds to function (like schizophrenics), but not everyone has a chemical imbalance!.
Psychiatrists are pill-happy, writing prescriptions like there's no need for therapy anymore!. That sucks about your mom!. A lot of parents think it's a quick and easy fix, and yes, the pharmaceutical industry makes sooooooooo much money!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

People need drugs because of the chemical imbalance in their head!. You cannot correct a chemical imbalance naturally because of genetics or because of the way people are brought up or because of a traumatic event!. There is no such thing as a cure to mental instability!. Drugs do not solve the problem, they only treat the problem!. You need therapy to go along with the drug!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Pharmaceuticals is big money!. There's no money in curing!. Plus, all those "experts" need to get paid!.
Think about it!.
Somewhere, right now, someone is paying a "doctor" to treat their dog's social anxiety disorder!.
It would be the same if cars were built to run on air and never break down!. Why would a company do that to themselves!?
Ever notice that with every drug there is a long list of side effects that are even worse than what it is perscribed for!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Some mental illnesses like schizophrenia and bipolar need drugs!. Some forms of depression do to!. Therapy should be happening in all these cases as well!. Therapy alone should always be tried for most else as far as I'm concerned!. It isn't always enough, but if you don't try, you never know!.
Why do ppl not go for therapy first!? Insurance has something to do with it!. Insurance covers doctors appts and meds, but only a little if any therapy!. So, cash is an issue as well as time!. Yes, that time thing!. Ppl want a quick fix!. That's probably the biggest factor!. Then there's the 'brainwashing' thing!. Every thought and feeling is a chemical reaction in the brain!. Chemical imbalance is a buzz phrase!. It actually means nothing!. But, ppl seem to think that everything is a psych issue completely forgetting that normal is a statistical average and that there are lots of normal ppl who are not average!. Ode to the American psyche which also is influenced by big Pharma's commercials and drug pushing!. Is that the drug industry's fault or the Administration that changed FCC rules!? I'd go with the latter and vote to get drug and alcohol commercials back off of TV!. Anyway, lots of reasons!. But, the only reason that prescriptions are easy to get is because someone goes to a particular doctor who hands them out easily!. I haven't had that doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
