While the way they're implementing this will obviously be terrible, I actually think in its fundamental form it's a positive goal. Medications are massively overprescribed where, in the worst case, they're actually worse than nothing, but in most cases other, simpler and cheaper, non-drug interventions would be significantly cheaper and better.
I wish I had been given better informed consent when doctors shoved me onto antidepressants and steroids to make me go away without telling me the full implications, short and long term. If I knew then what I knew about them now, I would've told them to shove it.
I know many people who have had similar experiences. I think doctors should help people understand what it means to go on these types of medications in the first place - that it is not a cure but more of a trial-and-error experiment, which might help but can also result in severe side effects, and that other options are available.
Exactly. If antidepressants help you then fuckin' more power to you, I love that for you, have all the helpful drugs you want.
But patients need a lot more information to actually give informed consent, and need more choice and help and time, where genuinely useful alternatives are also available. Instead western society hugely pushes drugs as "the" solution for a one-size-fits-all answer.
