Yes agree, and just read something that describes this approach and mindset quite well, from a psychiatrist no less...
"Many psychiatrists today work in assembly-line offices where they see patients they hardly know for fifteen minutes and then dole out pills to relieve pain, anxiety, or depression. Their message seems to be 'Leave it to us to fix you; just be compliant and take these drugs and come back in three months -- but but sure not to use alcohol or illegal drugs to relive your problems'. Such shortcuts in treatment make it impossible to develop self-care and self-leadership." -- Bessel van der Kolk MD
