Diagnosed? Why take Meds?

Question

Ok I can understand crazy like split personality and really serious disorders. But why are there people taking all kinds of meds for ADD, PTSD,Depression, and Anxiety.

I think that by taking the meds you are only masking the problem why not have rehabilitation like they for autistic people.

What do you think?

Answer 1

well i can tell you have a perfect life.you are not short on money pay all your bills on time never been in a war or had a trauma  in your life,illness of a loved one or your self or been disabled or pain so bad you can not do your normal things like walk,sit,or hold a loved one.

wake up life is not a bed of roses for all. i think some people need long term meds. where others may only need    short term with help to deal with the problems.i myself don't take meds. for any listed at this time but did when my husband died of cancer ,when some one tried killing me by breaking in ,when i was told i have lupus and MS, when i was told i have up to 99%blockages in heart and neck.i have come to terms with life live the best and enjoy what i do have , but it all takes time to work thur.

best of luck in your PERFECT life

Answer 2

You are right on target. Problems are simply signals that we need to make some changes and turn things around with real therapy. Meds have bad side effects, and may do more harm than good.

You got the right idea.
