Even Sting kinda sucked last night... |

"The theory that depression and other disorders are caused by 'chemical imbalances' in the body that can be remedied by psychotropic medication is, according to Levine, 'just that: a theory.' Not only does he believe that psychotropic medication is, at best, ineffective; he also claims that the rush to solve social problems by medicating individuals is blinding us to the ways in which people are rebelling against an 'institutional society' that doesn't meet human needs. |
