Seriously? So people going insane has NEVER been caused by the social environment, society?
Look at the deeper truth: how the hell do so many modern teenagers end up being prescribed this shit anyways?
Our society is driving us INSANE!
Quoting: pi 20063747 It starts off in elementary school with substances like ritalin & adderal. Adults have accepted the prescription pill 'quick fix' ideology so they usually have no qualms about allowing their children to ingest pills that affects their mood & brain chemistry. Yes, our society is ill and prescription pills are not only part of the problem but also a symptom of our society being fucked up. No the problem is when they are misprescribed. There is a good degree of research and info on that subject, and some kids (and rats, fish, monkeys, what have you) are actually helped by stimulants. ADD is caused by dysfunctioning dopaminergic neuron systems. I am of the opinion that ADD and especially ADHD are over diagnosed, but there are some people for whom stimulants aid brain development. What we need is better diagnoses. In the early 2000's I had read that North American was responsible for consuming 90% of the world's ritalin supply. I agree with you about miss-diagnosis but the overlying problem is that our society has become conditioned to look for 'quick fixes' in the form of pills. Pills for depression, pills for anxiety, pills for erectile dysfunction, pills for insomnia, pills for restless legs, pills for lack of energy, etc etc... The list goes on and on. More often than not the pills are designed to treat symptoms and not the root causes of the 'problems' to begin with. For instance pills don't cure depression, they mask the symptoms of depression while failing to address the root cause of that depression to begin with. Spot on!!
