This is especially outrageous, when you consider that, the latest studies show that SSRI drugs work for only a very small percent of people.

Mon, May 19, 2008 - 6:23 PMThis is a really small world - Amy was my best friend all throughout elementary school before we went to separate schools and lost touch. This post allowed me to reconnect with her :D how cool that is!

Mon, May 19, 2008 - 7:02 PMthat made me cry. wtf? what's up with doctors making decisions about our lives after 1-minute visits, or after zero-minute visits as discussed legislation would indicate? how did nobody see the medication was making her WORSE?! -

Thu, May 22, 2008 - 2:30 AMit's horrible when people are misdiagnosed. esp when it isnt any sort of chemical imbalance. i've had alot of friends on meds when what they really needed was to deal with their problems. theres definately a trend towards medicating every problem.
the youtube video was really touching. i wanted to ask if the mothers bill ever passed or not? at my last appt i did have to fill out a depression questionaire. -

Thu, May 22, 2008 - 4:50 AMShe is still currently working to fight it. Hr 20/s1375 is still on the table, but they are pushing to get it through - pPPD is pretty serious, I've seen a number of pregnant ladies & new moms wig out over the years...but drugging most of them would be even scarier! I sure was blessed to find my OB, he's been wonderfully sound and against excessive medications :)
I think the trend arises partly because medication points to the issue as being more of a genetic factor over which you have little or no control. Crazy is a spectrum though, and unless you are at the far ends, behavioral modification is more helpful than anesthetizing. I am being careful to state that I do not mean in every case however - some people absolutely need to be on medication to function, as they are so imbalanced they have little ability to manage without.
