WTF Is Wrong With People?

Ladies-
I'm not singling out PPD, or meaning to trivialize it in any way. I'm not implying that women are somehow more suceptible to depression or any mental problems. What I said applies to both genders. I'm sure that some cases of PPD and other forms of depression are treatable by meds, but we as a society have become entirely too dependent on "symptom maskers" rather than cures.
Ok...Treatment by medication and therepy CAN BE A CURE.  But it is up to the patient to follow through.  
I nor my doctor masked any symptoms.  We treated them and I am fine now.  
Pain medicine "masks" pain...so dont take it?  Yes you have to take it in order for your body to heal right from any injury or surgery.  
This is an argument that can go on and on forever.  
Point is, the drugs that have come out recently are made to improve your way of living.  Viagra helps old men get it up.  Vicoden helps you get out of bed after surgery, anti depressants help you get out of bed and FACE THE DAY.  so on and so on.
As far as depression and "mental illness" go...therepy too is needed in many cases.
There is not a cure for every disease out there, but now there are TREATMENTS to help you get through life while your body fights the disease on a daily basis.
The money spent on developing Viagra and such was wasted. If you're too old to get it up, you should just quit trying to get laid. Pain medication masks pain, but it doesn't fix what is causing it. If you have a toothache and dose up on pain reliever, your tooth is still rotten and will fall out, you better go see the dentist to fix the cause of the problem...........
If you need drugs to get out of bed and "face the day" on a regular basis, don't you think it would be better to figure out why your day sucks so bad and change that, rather than dope your self up just to able to function?
 
MrBrown makes very valid points. RARELY have I seen a shrink prescribe a detailed regimin of daily exercise rebalancing endorphins, a night of sleep deprivation to produce serotonin, deep hearted communications with family and loved ones about issues bothering them, and many more, longer hugs... our society has been SLOWLY reprogrammed away from truth and into profit. OBVIOUSLY, some drugs are handy here and there and do lots of good... but I feel he is speaking on the overall dependancies that are the norm now instead fo the exception.... and that can be hard for many people to really understand in today's world seeing as they are already programmed to NOT think that way. We are designed to live and function AS IS. Some will always be better than others in some way or worse, but it is who/what we are. Everyone is individuals

We SHOULD look for social cures before selling the pills. Talk to your best friend for a few hours instead of going to the doc for depressed feelings.... THAT's what good friends can do.

We ARE supposed to be emotional beings, not numbed out stable, flat liners. I'd take the lower LOWS with AND the higher highs ANY DAY, over the alternative

You know I just read another article about ADHD is usually just people that are more creative and thinking on many other levels at once? GOSH. Big shock there. If you are also the creative type like me, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Good job, guys: kids PLAYING = hyperactivity = attention deficit disorder, NOW = the next Bethoven or Einstein... but, lets drug them up and calm them down. Now, I'm getting all riled up again

In my (humble) opinion, the only fact that counts is that she deliberatley KILLED her children.

KILLED THEM!

She should not be allowed to breath our air. She is of absolutely NO value to society. NONE.
Too bad our judicial system is so f*cked up. She (and many others) should go straight to the front of the line. The fact that my tax dollars will be spent to keep her worthless azz alive for the next 20 pisses me off nearly as much as the act she committed.
