I don't like to 'fix' what isn't broken, and when it's as ham-fisted as forcing the 'good' chemicals out/inhibiting the 'bad' chemicals... it feels like a major cop-out to dealing with your shit.
Mind, I want Ashton back on her happy pills... it's just not an option I'd ever consider for myself.
My negative valuation comes from the experience of multiple drugs being suggested for me for the same 'problem' (my occasional violent outbursts at school). Thusly, my judgement is incredibly biased... there were genuine problems, the outbursts were a symptom of these.
Perhaps mildly hypocritically: if I'm in pain, I'll pop pain meds like a boss. Probably part of the reason my sicknesses last so long, but there's no way I am going to suffer through it, dammit

Relatively easy and safe operation that makes doctors more money. The connection is 'wide-reaching symptoms' and cash grab. Can't tell you much more, since it's before my time (I'm an AK girl from the country, I get this shit second-hand).
Also... shall I log in to LoL today?
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
