hi Deneb,
I wouldn't call it snooping...you have a right to know those things! But in general, I'm not sure that the trend these days is to LESS medication. I think there are MORE meds available now, and they are quite frequently prescribed. In fact, some researchers say that quite a large percentage of the population is on some kind of mood-altering medication! In the "old" days I think Freudian-style psychotherapy was the "in" thing.
Of course there are also many more branches of therapy these days, different techniques, etc. It may just be personal preference on the doctor's part on whether to prescribe meds, talk therapy, or both.
But the more experienced doctor might have seen more patients respond positively to this drug b/c he's been in practice so long. Do you trust him?
