    If someone has a liver, heart, or kidney problem, and need drugs to fix a deficiency - no problem.

    But if it’s the brain you suggest not using drugs?

    “Hey, person with a heart arrhythmia. Just get over it!”

      Again nowhere did i say that. The precondition is always that therapy is available and working. But therapy is expensive and requires individual therapists. Making and selling psychiatric drugs can be done as an efficient business. And the companies doing so are such great benevolent entities that they have paid record sums in compensations for victims of them pushing the drugs. This includes often families where the drugs lead to psychosis, suicide, homicide, adverse health problems…

      The very fact that psychiatric drugs can be advertised on TV in the US is complete madness. But i guess if you are a dealer or addict, nuance is easy to ignore.
