For me personally, I had to weigh the pros and cons. The good benefits outway the side effects and down side of the meds for me. I do have to agree with you though that I think alot of meds are prescribed for the wrong disorders, or for people who truly do need only psychotherapy instead of a med. I certainly would not choose to take an SSRI for mild depression if therapy could fix my problem. I think the drug companies have got the general public believing that popping a Prozac is just as safe as taking an aspirin. Scary!
