Yeah.. There's just so much information about meds and drugs that are funded by Big Pharma.
I think psychiatry is good. I should have said the "Pharmaceutical companies".
All things are really scewed and polarized right now.. But I think in a few years, we'll understand more about things. Psychiatry can only get better - Cuz in the 50's etc that was baaaad...
I'm just very happy with olanzepine ^-; Psychiatrists love this med except that it makes people gain weight.
