I agree with you. I think that most of those anti-med people (even when it's others that take them) just need something to feel good about themselves. "Look, I too had problems in my life, but *I* solved my problems without taking drugs. blahblahblah..."
Unfortunately, the state of psychiatry as a science in 2011 does give those people lots of ammunition. There is no denying that the placebo effects of antidepressants are huge, and so on. Still, it's not like there is *no* science showing the involvement of neurotransmitters such as serotonin in mental illness.
But yeah, listening to those people's "argumentation" is frustrating...
