The problem is that there are a lot of people who use psychiatric meds who don't really need them.
As such, I think it is becoming belief that people who use psychiatric meds aren't really sick at all, but just trying to get a legal high.
Since it is prescribed so liberally, the validity of a real psychiatric problem is completely trashed.
Everybody has problems, and most people get over it through some method. What bothers me is when people try to extend their method to everybody else.
Those are sometimes the most dangerous people. The ones who have had a psychatric problems and who have got better on their own. They think that "if they can do it, everybody can".
Its almost like it is the next step in the sence of personal control. Once you think you have your problems under controll then you start to think you can solve everyone else's problems.
