It's not all that easy. First, you go to your doctor whom tells you go to a therapist. Then, you go to the therapist who decides whether or not you need the drug, and tells you to go to the psychiatrist. They might give you a sample, though. Then you go to the psychiatrist, who just says "Yeah, you need this."
Then you go and get whatever he prescribed, and you forget to take it sometimes and lapse into severe depression until you remember to take it. Oh, and they keep upping the doses.
