Definitely gonna read that book. I've almost considered pills for adhd, but gonna try natural remedies rather. Dude psychiatry has always been the least scientific of all sciences. The way they prescribe pills through trial and error, the countless misdiagnosing, etc. I think I read somewhere that psychology is 1000 years behind doctors treating physical symptoms like cancer, etc. We have to start somewhere, but I feel your anger dude. Wilfully destroying people's health is despicable. I'm sure some people can't do any better than with meds in some circumstances where they genuinely have a genetic mental disorder. Even with the side effects of medication.
Your situation is fucked up though... What I also dislike is how a psychologist will never ask a patient what he is eating, how he is sleeping, if he/she exercises... I'm like Jesus how fuckin simple is it to ask these questions before handing out pills. It is simple, but as you said money talks louder than people in pain.
