I am, however, a little concerned by how they're prescribed so frequently for conditions that could be treated with other medication(s).

But then the corporate types try to wring as much money from them as possible by whatever means. And a lot of pdocs seem to have broken BS detectors and eat up all the nonsense.
>mtdewcmu,
You wrote,[...the corporate types try to xxx by whatever means...(psychiatrists) have broken xxx... eat up all the yyy...].
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean here. If yoou could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
A. What are the criteria that you used, if any, to lable a person as a {corporate type}?
B. What are the criteria that you used to conclude, if that is what you are wanting to convey, that these corporate types try to xxx?
C. What is the yyy that the (psychiatrists)that have broken zzz eat up?
D. How could one fix the broken zzz, if you know?
E. If a psychiatrist could have a broken zzz, could a person that goes to a psychiatrist to get mind-altering drugs also have a broken zzz?
F. other aspects
