Doctors prescribing placebos...
In the Western medical field I feel that prescriptions are given out way to easily, weather the patient is given a placebo or real drug. If someone is dealing with something like depression or anxiety and they go see a psychiatrist they will most likely be given something to take. The problem with this is only the symptom is being treated and not the cause. If a person is depressed there can be many reasons for it. They might have a real chemical imbalance in their brain or something very dramatic could have happened earlier in their life causing the depression. I think that the patient should receive other types of treatment for their alignment instead of a pill being the first option. We are taught in the U.S. to take pills to fix everything. I see a big problem with this. This makes people not take responsibility for their lives and their health.
I agree Claire. It is frightening how easily prescription medications are handed out without taking into account the underlying problem or problems the patient is facing.
