I'm not completely against the meds, I am against the way that psychology/psychiatry are currently integrated with the medical world. With most common problems most see a doctor with little experience with mental health issues who will probably give them some cure all anti depressants. Most people don't actually know they are mostly just to manage symptoms and not all that reliably.
Everyone is different and most people won't have severe mental illness where every day is agony but more mild issues that can actually be effectively cured or dept with by learning a few coping mechanisms, learning triggers and adding some new habits to daily life. Instead people are given pills to deal with the symptoms as the actual causes fester in the background. For severe tearing your hair out mental illness I'm 100% for using everything at your disposal.
I'd like to see the whole thing changed in the next 5-10 years because the current system is fucked and could be made better without too much hassle.
