The world is full of mean , small minded people with axes to grind, and psych patients are convenient targets. I didn't look at the article, but what was this guys PhD in? Psychologists are notoriously anti med, because the success of drug treatments threatens their livelihoods and status. ( No, not all psychologists, but I've come across some mean petty ones).
Also, you all may not remember this, but the Church of Scientology periodicly goes on an anti psychiatry campaign by using shills who put out crap like this. The press will publish almost anything, remember the big stink over Prozac supposedly made people murderously violent back around 1990? Scientology PR campaign. Don't beleive everything you read in the news. It may just be a press release from god knows who with a crackpot agenda.
I know I need my meds to function, you know you need your meds, so beleive in your own reality. We're no different than diabetics, just maybe more interesting ;) and If you substitute the word insulin for anti-depressent you'll see how ridiculous the article is.
