Hi there,
I myself question if I need certain meds, or not. I run across many anti med sites and must disagree to an extent, many people due require psychiatric meds., I have seen many who without them fall apart, become delusional and even violent.
There are other cases where medications become overkill, and that is to blame mostly on the doctor prescribing them.
One major part of psychiatry that does disturb me greatly is "psycho surgery" destroying portions of the brain to achieve the desired behaviour of a person, ECT another thing that PERSONALY (spelling) scares me.
I feel with a reputable psychiatrist, medication and it's monitoring can work wonders, I've seen it.
It is everyone's personal choice to make decisions to their type of treament, but do not let some of the anti meds sites totally turn you off from treatment, be sure to ask questions, many medications are safe, and with compliancy by the patient some of the "impossibles can become possible".
Talk therapy is a great adjunct to psychiatric care, with or without meds.
You have the right to choose
