I've noticed that some thing. Commenters on Internet articles make it sound like it's so easy. Take the meds, and you'll be well. They don't seem to understand that not everyone gets well with meds. Not everyone even improves with meds. And side effects can be significant.

Yeah this is all about who has the power and the voice and that's predominantly the drug companies----certainly pdocs have a voice as well but it doesn't help their cause to mention treatment doesn't always work. That leaves the people who are psychotic to try and sort it out and it can be a little hard for people to believe people who are psychotic. This is one of the reasons I really like Robert Whitaker...he's a perfectly normal respected guy----you know just a reporter but he pulls out the science and is like ummm look here's evidence that the meds can be harmful its in your own journals and you guys are just ignoring it...
