Now they are thinking of making grief something you need anti depression drugs for and classifying it as an illness

Not all of it


there are medications that improve quality of life dramatically for millions of people. That some in need may never know about them because of a warped view of psychiatric health is their loss. Not saying any names...

with their drugs. don't forget that part~

i think a lot of issues can be fixed with actual healthy diets. anytime we eat processed foods our bodies' immune systems go into attack mode. that isnt great for long term health~

like ADHD?
alcoholism?
obesety?
i think most forms of depression are just people being too lazy to get up and get motivated or people too dumb to realise that everyone has doubts and indecisiveness sometimes.


getting prescriptions of any kind if way over done in this country.
and i find it amazing that you cant get a prescription for pot in 90% of the country but you can get prescriptions for drugs that are dangerous and/or severely addictive.

I think that the HPV vaccine is a bunch of garbage. This thing supposedly guards you against 1% of cancer causing viruses that only have a 1% chance of infecting 1% of the female population between 16-29 yet all girls are supposed to be getting it.

AND THEY JUST STARTED MARKETING IT TO BOYS! WHAT THE FRAK???

Freaking greedy big pharma.

Medical care in the majority of instances is basically nothing more than a drug prescription service...

So most hospitals/doctors are bringing in lots of money because of big pharma.
