At least with meds you don't have to go through months of psychotherapy trying to get to the root of your problem.
I have my issues with meds too though...I think that doctors could be a little more cautious in prescribing the amount they do. I also hate having to take one med to counter the effects of another med.
But my aunt is schitzophrenic (spelling right?) and she is not normal because she refuses to take her meds. Psychiatry is not all about emotional issues. Most have a genetic factor that makes meds necessary. remember all those mental hospitals a long long time ago? Well, today they aren't used as much. why? the meds are saving these people.
