Do I take it that you're willing to admit that drugs can work for some diseases but somehow not for brain diseases? In the light of your worldview, how can you explain Alzheimer's, senile dementia, strokes, and Parkinson's? There are drugs that help those diseases, too. Do you think that they are just figments in people's imagination that a few verses from the Bible would somehow magically cure?
Yet you call me arrogant?
Not at all. Drugs can undoubtedly work for both. My argument is not that the brain cannot be treated, but that we don't know what we're doing yet, and attempt to treat it anyway - and that with drugs whose efficacy is questionable.
Anyone who questions the wisdom of such a course is attacked as unlearned, backwards, controlling, unfeeling, and probably a Scientologist.
Those who resort to such tactics demonstrate the weakness of their argument.
My step-mother has a neurological disease, NO DRUGS HAVE HELPED.
I am not saying that there are not drugs that CAN help people afflicted with neurological conditions but isnt it funny that things that CAN NOT be influenced by moods or external experience like Dementia are seldom affected by medication?
Now, Mr. Sulla... I find it insulting that anyone that does not agree with your point of view is advancing the agenda of the Scientologists. Oh hell, its not even worth debating as your point is completely absurd.
The point is that these drugs ARE OVER PRESCRIBED. If you doubt this then you all are fooling yourselves.
Every little trial in life has become an ordeal and everyone needs thier little pill. It is sad. Now before you all make that gigantic leap of logic that I am against drugs for any mental condition(As some of you have, and you seemed so condescending about it! LOL!) that is not my point.
My point is that some things in life suck and no matter how many pills you pop in your mouth, some things will still suck. Its called reality!
