> I do not subscribe to the characterization of psychotropic drugs as being merely bandaids. Perhaps you can describe to me exactly what you feel they are bandaids for?
Here in the UK there seem to be a lot of people who are sceptical about the benefits of psych meds. "Stiff upper lip", "pull yourself together" and all that.
Many people in this country who feel they have the right to lecture others about their med usage use some variation of the "bandaid" argument.
If anything it shows they refuse to believe depression has a physiological basis.
