I'm not talking about conditions caused by chemical imbalances, neurostructural disorders or genetics. I am not saying that there isn't a place for modern medications. I am saying that they are being abused for profit. I have a theory that people are misguided by psychiatrists and get put on these pills that fuck them up worse then their mental illness. I find the statistic of [20% of adults have a mental illness](https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/reports/rpt29393/2019NSDUHFFRPDFWHTML/2019NSDUHFFR1PDFW090120.pdf) -- (PDF warning) very manipulated. I think there is a direct correlation with the 'rise' in mental illness and the amount of money they are generating big pharma companies. If you research how medicine has changed over time, physicians used to prescribe lifestyle changes and regiments along with treatments/medicine. In western (((medicine))) you are forced to see your general practitioner and then be prescribed to see a specialist. This specialist makes their money by having repeat business so they are looking to keep you coming back to the office as much as possible. What better way to do that then by giving out a medication the fucks your brain up, requires constant changing of dosage and is only available from them? It seems like a legal fucking racket. With the majority of mental illness being anxiety and depression, why are psychotherapy sessions not aimed at mindfulness/root cause training and coping stargates? I guess the obvious answer is that treatment isn't profitable but why doesn't anyone else realize this? Some of these clowns keep you mentally running in circles, foster a victim mentality and break you down worse than any abuser. The mental health industry is such a mess right now it disgusts me. As you can see I am clearly biased in the matter, so I would like others opinions as well. If you have good experiences with using these meds for depression, anxiety or BPD please share them so I can gain a better understanding of the other side. Thank you.
