Shell -
Although your latest post was not directed at me, I do appreciate you sharing your experiences, and of course out of respect I will not quote them or make reference to them.
Although anecdotes are not a substitute for data, they do help shed light on the subject. I have no doubt that psychotropics are over-prescribed and that many who take them do not need them. On the other hand, for some they are life savers. I was in the "no meds" camp for many years and it nearly cost me my life, and I mean that quite literally. Not going to get into the gory details here though.
