BEFORE RESPONDING, let me say first that I agree with the essence of your message. I think meds are a short-term answer and "quick fix" to emotional issues, while the long term solution is changing your lifestyle and the way you think. Needless to say, the latter is a very long process, one that I am not very strong in taking steps toward.
BUT I think your statement that people in third world countries are "happier and more content" is a gross generalization, i.e. Rowanda and too many other countries to mention. I think you can find people in this country (USA), the ones who have the proper perspective of things and are not brain-washed by the lies of perfection portrayed through the media, are just as happy as anyone anywhere.
