I agree with most of what you say. There is a limit, IMO, as to where to draw the line.
Certain persons are severely depressed. To me, it seems extrordinarly juvinile, for Tom Cruse to approach the topic in such a way. He is a whistle blower. Do you know how extrordinarily easy it is to be a whistle blower? Depression invloves a lot of guilt, do these patients really need more guilt? Bottom line, people need tangable solns.
I would agree that many people take these drugs without knowing what they can fully do, they are certainly not risk free. There are others, who fully know what they can and cannot do, and yet still choose to take them.You may have mentally lumped me in with a whole bunch of naive drug users but I pose a challenge for you.
Tell me one alternative, non drug approach to treating depression that I have not yet tried.
I dare you !!Linkadge
