Yes in rare cases, which is why typically when a psychiatrist recommends treatment with a drug like that, they typically monitor the patient to see if they suffer any severe side effects.
Just because there’s quack doctors who want to push pills on everyone doesn’t mean all of them are quacks. Any psychiatrist or psychologist who is deserving of their degree will pursue other avenues of treatment before resorting to pharmacology.
Unfortunately, a lot of the public has bought into the lies that pills are cure-alls, and will doctor shop until they get meds.
The unfortunate part is that, despite your demurrers, there has been an explosion of such use of "psychotropic" drugs, invented one after another for their obscene profit margins. And it was famed psychiatrists shilling for the makers at conventions and in journals that have caused this sea change of treatment, according to the observers who have been seeking the truth behind it.
One of the big consumers has been the military and those ministering to veterans. But finally the Central Command has contravened, taking such drugs out of their formulary for treating PTSD sufferers.
Give me some statistics on what "rare cases" means. From my outlook, arguments against your view is found in "Anatomy of an Epidemic" and other internet available sources, TNTC.
