I Think Psychiatric Drugs Are Over-prescribed

I can't believe people are so quick to just blindly follow doctor's orders and jump right on board to start taking psychiatric drugs. Do you know how insane it is to me that people are willing to alter their brain chemistry before exhausting other options. Like nutrition and coping skills.

Yes some people need meds, but psych meds terrify me

I was forcibly injected with haldol when I was 19. It was about six months before the side effects wore off. I basically became manic, insomnia, restless leg sydrome. I'm just grateful it wasn't permanent, some people aren't so lucky
