I for one do believe in the medical aspect of it, and I know I couldn't function normally if I didn't take my meds, but I think you and I agree that in this situation it was ridiculous to just automatically prescribe meds without even a consultation. In my opinion and experience, every malady, whether physical or psychiatric, involves both medical and behavioral treatment. As a diabetic I have to both take my insulin and watch my diet. As a person with depression, I have to both take my antidepressant and watch my thoughts. Balance.
