psychiatry NEEDS peter breggin--a lot of stuff shrinks did and still do is just ridiculous and harmful. That said...I think the no-meds, ever position is just as dogmatic as the all meds, all the time position.
Personally, I think anti-convulsant mood stabilizers, benzos, sleeping pills, and stimulants are pretty helpful, if the dosing is done appropriately. Antidepressants, antipsychotics, etc...not so much. Just my opinion though.
