Okay, I rectract somewhat from the original statement. Yes, stress plays a role in disease. But you cannot deny that some psychmeds DO carry warning that they can cause disease as well.
I do believe that taking meds to handle stressful life without trying to adjust the stress level just adding another thing to worsen your health overall. It may feel better, but... you are still under the stressful situation. Unless there is really no way to eliminate it or lessen significantly... it's like taking painkiller for broken leg and considering it a cure, because it's hurting less now. It can get real tricky too, because unlike broken leg, you cannot really see the level or nature of your stress, so one has to go by their instincts.

Can sometimes chemistry help and make life easier? Most definitelly. But one should always reconsider other aspects. Is some of the stuff really worth it? How many of the shoulds you tell yourself are really coming from your heart? Do you really wanna be doing what are you doing or what you "should" be doing? So on.

I think lot of the stress we create is kinda artificial....

I am talking of the external stress mostly.
