I disagree to some extent about the med ed. == Treatment resistance/intolerance correlation-that it is causative, but you have brought up some interesting and important ideas. I think that the blizzard of new psych. medications showing up very suddenly in the last decade coupled with high-tech pharmaceuticals with multiple meds for everything in the pipelines (and news about them), may be keeping people in a constant state of *expectation* about the newest magic bullet around the corner. That heightened level of expectation and vigilance coupled with the large possiblity of combinations/dosages of existing meds may likely be creating a phenomenon of hyperfocus on the meds. However, I think this is a broad sociological thing that is going on that involves some kind of "information impatience" about many aspects of daily living.
