I agree. Unfortunately the only people likely to have a strong interest in countering the culture of overmedication are likely to be people who are on the outside for various reasons, so their opinions are automatically suspect and void. That's often the way it is with critics of all institutions though.
Most of the pdocs I've worked with in the UK were uneasy about the exotic cocktails being prescribed liberally in the US. Hard to know whether people are getting better treatment for paying privately or being overindulged. I know many of the people here would have been given their marching orders long ago and told to get on with life if they were relying on the NHS. Some of us have.
