Just wanted to reiterate that this post was *not* directed at you.
The idea really came up when I was discussing with friends how it seemed that some people are using regular psychiatric drugs to try and change themselves into something different. You know "designer personalities" or whatever. I didn't really coin the idea.
Its a bit like pandora's box. You take a pill, and it does something, it changes something, and that starts you wondering, what if this, what if that. What would this be like, what would that be like. I wonder if a pill could change this, I wonder if a pill could rid me of that, and before I know it, all of the things that one might have tackled with a church visit in the past, have been absorbed into the rhelm of psychiatry.(maybe I have too much PEA on the brain from all the cocoa powder I am consuming) :)
If there is a reader to whom this doesn't apply one bit, then I appologise.Again, its just something I've been thinking about, and wondering if anyone else has considered such things before.
Again, maybe I'm way out to lunch.
