The pharmacy industry has the whole country in their hands.

When I was young, my parents had me on all kinds of shit for a few years...paxil, prozac, wellbutrin, etc...it wasn't until later on when a few therapists told my parents that I wasn't depressed at all/had nothing wrong and that the pills were actually doing way more harm to me then good that I got off them. Paxil was the worst, I was ALWAYS angry for no reason and had so many freaking mood swings it was insane...and I was really young so I had no idea what was wrong with me until I was taken off the depression medicine.
I'm not saying they're completely bad because I believe that they must be helping some people out there that really need them...I'm just saying that I think they're being OVER-prescribed and that some doctors/therapists are so quick to just write out a script for pills.
