I believe in psych meds only as a last resort. If you absolutely can't do anything else to treat your mental illness then psych meds can be viable.

I believe if somebody has an illness rather it be mental or physical, one's nutritional intake, lifestyle, coping skills, and stress levels should be looked at first and handled accordingly before medicine should even be considered.

I also believe that most forms of acting out that could be associated with a type of mental illness hve an inherit reason behind it such as stress, trauma, or something wrong in their life. Doing something about one's triggers and seeking therapy when applicable can solve the vast majority of people's problems. Why give an Asprin for a brain tumor when the problem can be attacked directly?

I'm opposed to America's need to prescribe a medication to somebody for every little issue. I believe in the saying "at first, do no harm" and I believe that the best medicine is the human body.
