"I do agree that there are sometimes when, for a short time, drugs are helpful. Also, for some defined conditions ( manic/depressive, schizophrenia, etc.), long term drug therapy may be needed."
True, but I believe that Scientology opposes even those.
I believe that only a psychiatrist should prescribe drugs, but how do you know that the psychologist or gynecologist in question may not have at least some psychiatric knowledge?
Scientology is like a cult off shoot of AA or NA or CA
I have friends in these programs and they are so over the top they won't even take an aspirin cold medicine *NADA* because maybe that might lead them into Alcohol or Drug Addiction again..
Oh, yes, there was some knowledge there, but the outcome here is just wrong. You see, we were all young women together, and we all had comparable problems. Some of us sorted through them and eventually came out in a better place, but those two friends have just gone into a holding pattern. It's not good, and nothing will convince me that the drugs have done them any good at all.
