DJFyrewolf I think you really nailed a lot of the problems right on. Too often drugs get thrown out to people when it may or may not be what is needed or best for the individual. I think if it is at all possible, natural alternatives are the best way to go.

As I do medical transcription, I see just how often people come in to a doctor, say they are feeling anxious or down, and how often the doctor will immediately start them on an antidepressant or anti-anxiety agent, after a 5 minute talk with the patient.
