I do think drugs help a lot. I can understand why you feel certain resistance and skepticism, and probably rightly so, but drugs do help a lot. That said, I do believe that modern medicine seems to have created more problems than there need to be in US (and some other countries).

I just think that long-term use of drugs really just creates a false sense of normality, and does not address any of the underlying issues. Then there is also the question of dependency too.
