Shrinks are often times full of shit.. some are real and actually know what they are doing, but half of them are hacks who when confronted with very little facts they prescribe a drug that isn't needed. I'll put ritalin and any anti-depressant on the market in this category. They are handed out like candy.. not because they are good... but because doctors simply don't give a shit and are more concerned about their business instead of their practice.
Every drug on the market has a good side.. it has to have a good side or else it wouldn't be on the market (at least not for very long) - so to simply take a side that people are well undereducated about a drug simply because there's a hype around it is a bit naive. I think it's also naive to just assume that since you went through a DSMIV you can accurately point out what the issue is with someone.

Again, people are posting conclusions without supporting them. Doctors vastly over prescribe just about any drug there is? Prove it. Shrinks are often times full of shit? Give me a break.
Prove it. That's all I've been asking since the get-go. Until then, all of the posturing and condescension are meaningless.
And I didn't just go through the DSM, I have a degree in psychology from one of the better colleges in the country on the subject.
