Saints on Drugs

[Blubayou]

I do think that doctors push drugs especially depression drugs on people, without trying to get to root of the problem first. I know this has happened to me and to my husband. I think there are a couple of reasons for this- we live in an instant world where we want an instant fix for the problem and getting to the root of the issue would take lots of time with the doctor and many do not want to invest that kind of time. I do think there are occasions where anti depression drugs can be very helpful to get someone over the "hump" and help them work through a problem. In this case - they would be used in conjunction with talk therapy with a counselor, or if a person is willing- reading and soul searching on their own. I do think that there is a physical depletion of natural enzymes(sp) that control moods and depression. In that case - just like with insulin- someone would need to take anti depression drugs unless God would heal them. JMO Hope this makes sense.
