There are very very few people who should be taking psychotropic drugs for the long-term. To have a quarter of the u.s. population medicated and one in five children medicated is disastrous in the long term. We create very severe diseases and death not viable long-term cures.

Also, (and it's not just psychiatric but all pharmaceuticals this applies too) we're spreading,via these prescriptions, a set of substances that once they enter the water systems through people's toilet use, most of those systems don't filter them out,so all drinking tap water...

are taking in at least some level continually of psychotropic drugs.
