Food for thought?
Just a paragraph from the book I'm reading:
I do know these drugs made my misery feel less catastrophic. So I'm Grateful for that. But I'm deeply ambivalent about mood-altering medications. I'm awed by their power, but concerned by their prevalence. I think they need to be prescribed and used with much more restraint in this country, and NEVER without the parallel treatment of psychological counseling.
Those pills might have saved my life, but they did so only in conjunction with about twenty other efforts I was making simultaneously during that same period to rescue myself.
