Hi GeneJ.
I fully agree with you that some people need prescribed drugs, and also should be taken off when they show averse reactions. But drugs can never be a solution for things that could be altered in another way.
In how many cases this is entered as an easy way out of a social or an emotional problem. To be on drugs for years and years can make people really inert, rob them of their emotions, and turn them into hopeless zombies.
Off course when the alternative forms no solution, I agree with you. But do not think that this is candy, the averse effects can be gruesome as well or when someone goes “berserk” because of this or take their own lives…the cause is often missed. It is a two-sided sword and that is what it is, and it just depends what side cuts deepest.
