Too many people respond to their problems by going on medication, instead of first trying to get to the root of said issues and find a different solution. amirite?
I suppose you've never actually seen any sort of councilor to know this?
I was in counseling for 2 monthes before they started to even concider putting me on medication.
I've been to numerous counselors before. I need to go on an anti-depressant and I'm on a medication for my chronic migraines, however, that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of people who jump to the "I need pills!" conclusion without even knowing exactly what their dealing with and if they truly need them.
I know someone who's child isn't quite 4, so he's at that hyper/naughty age, not to mention his father started working out of town (he won't see him for anywhere from a week to a month) so now he gets upset whenever he's not around his mother, yet his aunt is convinced he needs meds. Even though his behavior is completely typical for that age. (His mother isn't putting him on anything, but that's just one example of what I was trying to say.)
Mine refused to even talk about the idea of meds for the first 3 or so months. Person belows for about 2. You sure you in therapy? Or is your doctor a quack?

There's a difference between saying I need pills and actually going on medication.
I don't think schizophrenia is going to respond very well to, "And how does that make you FEEL?"
That's not what I meant...

Depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain. It won't go away when your life is out of a rut.

It's so annoying when people call themselves depressed just because they're "in a rut". It's a real condition, it is not synonymous with being sad.
" when in reality all I need is to have fun & live my life instead of being stuck in a rut."
