Doctors have a really bad habbit of over medicating and pop'ing pills like candy while not having a real clue how they even work. Using a pill that affects all the neurotransmitters instead of just the few needed seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Don't misinterpret, there are times when the pills are abolutely necessary, but there are many other things that can be done first that are often safer and cheaper with much better long term side effects (read the page long fine print summary that comes with each prescription...the side effects are worse than the original problem). Many people just want the pills to justify their poor lifestyle choices and not bother to change.
