The overwhelming evidence that our medical system has "dropped off the cliff" is growing more apparent everyday. Doctors are going overboard prescribing antidepressants despite warnings against it.
I would love to know just what the numbers are in Nashville and which hospital excels in prescribing antidepressants. You can bet that if you go the doctor for any symptoms that are hard to explain or hard to diagnose then you will become a target for antidepressants. Even shrinks are coming out acknowledging that the doctors are creating issues with powerful antidepressants that really should be in the hands of a different type of professional. I see all of this and think to myself, "Is this not what they wanted to create though?". For any system to work and be successful then there must be a dependency on that system. The medical system has placed itself as the most dependency based business in this country. This system is supposed to have all the answers. The egotism that built it, is now destroying it. You cannot be all things to all people. Maybe the medical system will realize that and change their approach. We can always hope.
