As is your right. But for people needing help, I'm glad they get it, in whatever form it may take. Adults can make their own decisions. And I pray that any children who may be involved are cared for by intelligent parents who do their damndest to try everything else first.
1. We really don't know what we're doing with these drugs. Science in sometimes obscured by piles of money or "experts" with a career to protect. There's far less hard science in this field than anyone, professionals or patients, would like to admit.
2. They're being abused by being overprescribed. People like your son, who shows signs of a real illness, with a family history, are in a different category from the folks who pop pills for a bad hair day.
3. The drugs are touted as if they're a cure, and the science behind them is solid. The truth is that treatment is most often trial and error - hardly a scientific approach.
