This reminds me of the show House MD where Dr. House would say that patients lie all the time... and apparently true. Thankfully clinicians are trained to see those lies lol.

I think that the pill's purpose is to make them happy is quite a common misconception and I've heard that a lot. They seem to think it didn't work or it's giving them "negative side effects" is because they didn't see life in colors like they expected. I've heard the "robot" and "kills creativity" effect a lot of times and honestly one of the reasons why I delayed going to a psychiatrist for help. It is indeed a lot better to feel neutral than being on the negative side.

Pills can't solve everything.
