Doctors rush for the quick fix, ofter prescribing 2 or 3 medications within the first few months. Then, after a patients brain has been messed with enough, along with being influenced to believe medication is the only solution, the patient grows more dependent on medication than they may have been, had a more patient and integrative approach been taken.
