The spliff-toting conspirator would point out that medication is something very easily commodified and capitalised, and there's little coincidence that it's a dominant industry in the international heartland of capitalism.
The doleful philosopher would say that in the absurdist Godless landscape of postmodernity the subject is cut loose from meaning and existential narrative and is left to drift through depressing, sanity-rending meaninglessness, finding appropriate solace in the hyppereal emotional stasis of prescription medication.
The over-expressive self-help guru would say that it's a social mindset of removing control from our own lives and refusing to deal with our problems, instead of finding inner strength and taking positive steps to self-betterment.
I think the COR is a case study in how the electronic music scene seems to dredge up the excessive, the compulsive and the mentally and emotionally unsound. |

whether its shopping, pills, or fancy frills,
or eating lots and feeding thrills,
we all ease our minds and calm the stress,
with materials or sub-stan-ces,
you think too little or think too much,
you grab the wine or grab the dutch,
you clutch and grasp and try to hold,
the little bit that you control, |

| I dunno why people have such a problem with people who take meds anyway. I do have a good handful of friends who take meds for whatever reason, and I sure as prefer them medicated than as the total ups they are without them. Lolololol. |

| Anyone ever been to a city or state funded clinic where they have so many patients, they are only allowed 15 minutes with each person, only good for refills and no help for the individual whatsoever. Then through out the waiting room and offices are sometimes not so subtle pharmaceutical advertisements like the clock on the wall that says Seroquel on it down to the pen and note pad that says Geodon on it, that the doctor uses. You will get a good idea of what medications they advise a person to take than not. |

What's serontonin? [/jackass]
Never been on SSRIs, but I did stupidly eat a whole bunch of SNRIs that some quack psych prescribed to me. ing monkey drugs.
Also, my jackass GP prescribed, when I first complained about interrupted sleep, first some lame-ass allergy medication which did nothing, then he gave me some really awful first-generation anti-psychotics that I found out were banned in the US in like 83 or something.
I am so gonna start using crystals and from now on lol. |

| My friend said it well: if you're a threat to yourself or to society, you should be hospitalized/put on meds; if you're not, you shouldn't. |

On topic, IMO the side effects far outweigh the benefits, and the fact that any responsible doctor recommends therapy before medicating is indicative enough that its not a "cure." More of a crutch. |
IMO you can't say that in general, it's different for each person. And if you as a doctor don't know the cause or aren't able to make a diagnose, recommending therapy becomes difficult.
