Depression

[kellychaos]

I have mixed feelings about this issue. True, I think that many psychotropic drugs are way over-prescribed and it seems that children are being used as guinea pigs for a relatively new biotechnology. Is the cure worse than the cause? Can a lot of these problems be solved through a better diet, exercise and therapy? Is it more of a society flaw (i.e. fast foods, everythin automated makes for less exercise for U.S. citizens, ect.). I don't know the answers although I'm hope that studies are being made. What I am sure of is that perscribing these drugs is a hell of a lot better than sending the "crazies" to the "nuthouse" like they did all the way through to the early part of the twentieth century. Change is good but are we overdoing it?
