I think most of us know that some folks really do need medication. We just suspect that doctors and pharmaceutical companies are financially motivated to get these drugs into people who do NOT need them.
I think some people may well have something wrong that affects their mood/thinking/well-being but don’t need psychotropic drugs. Doctors get a lot of their treatment info from drug sales reps. Most don’t spend a lot of time trying figure out why a patient may not be sick/depressed, etc. They are conditioned to just write a prescription. Many people may in fact have solvable mental health issues if, as the author mentioned, they changed their diet, exercised, got other likely undiagnosed medical problems addressed, learned better coping skills. I could go on, but the real need gor these drugs was created, just as the need for the Covid vaxx that doesn’t work was created. Money.
My family is full of women who need it and I’m happy they take it
