“Some doctors hand out anti-anxiety meds as panacea instead of trying to find the real problem. You might actually have to spend time with a patient, listen carefully to symptoms, and try to find a cause of their problems, but oftentimes its just easier to label the issue anxiety and send them on their way with a bottle of benzos.”
My son-in-law is one of these cases. He suffered from debilitating anxiety and depression, and found a doctor to fix him with pills. No working on the cause. He thinks he’s all fixed now. He really enjoys the combination of alcohol with the meds. He has no problem. It’s my daughter who has the problem, according to him. He is content with his new found happiness.
