> OK, as long as you're being altruistic, but you know people can get terribly offended about this right? It's not always fun to feel like you have to take a psychotropic med.
I understand that it's not fun. I'm just saying that it's not always necessary to take these drugs, and quite often they can make things worse long-term. The drug companies and the psychiatric profession have an obvious conflict of interest in helping people solve their problems. They *want* people on drugs long-term. But this, IMO, is a symptom of the much larger problem of the way sociey is today, which is ultra-competitive, unsympathetic, uncaring, selfish, and too focused on individual "success" (whatever that means) than feeling happy, and good about yourself.
