I absolutely do not believe that people with depression and other mental illnesses are looking for a quick fix from a dr.
Medication is a saviour for many people. In my case, untreated depression paved the road to alcoholism. I used alcohohol to self-medicate. I needed to have my depression treated first.
Mental illness has nothing to do with an 'in-thing'. It is every bit as real as any physical illness and many people need medication to recover.
