In reply to Why does EVERYONE think a PILL solves all?????????, posted by DoYouKnowHim? on August 29, 2005, at 4:56:06
Why not to think like that? Let's assume, someone has a temporary mental crisis. In order to THINK better (more positive) he is prescribed a medicine, this is the way the loop is staring. Better mood->better thinking->better mood->problem solved->medication stopped.
The case above was just very simple, the problem with most of us are more complicated. Some of us will find out what is wrong within weeks, others within years, some won't ever.
Why you mentioned only behavioral therapies? There are many reason of mental problems (allergy for example).
