> Exactly what do these psychiatrists get paid to do accept write out prescriptions for antidepressants, like one of them said to me "it's not an exact science" so what the hell are they doing? What expertise am I relying on when I go and see one??? They ask you the same standard questions and dole out the same drugs.

I feel that adults should not be robbed of their freedom to decide what is in their own best interest, to the extent that their actions do not trample on their neighbors freedom to do so either.
