Agreed -- psychiatric meds, and especially anti-depressants, have been a life-saver to too many people for them still to be getting such a bad rap.

On the other hand, I suppose that there may be SOME tendency to over-diagnose or over-prescribe on the fringes of the medical community. But it's nothing like as widespread or "mind-control-ish" as this writer makes it sound.

That comment strikes me as one of those unexamined "it's trendy to say it so it must be so, though I haven't ever taken the trouble to check it out" sentiments that appear all too often in pseudo-news stories these days.
