Because most people are a bunch of pussies and just like porn slingers to the horny, there is a business set up to provide these people with what they "think" they need. They are called Doctors and Pharmaceutical companies. They want you fucked up and on their drugs, even if it is their drugs that are fucking you up so they can give you different drugs.
All those fucked up drug commercials you see on TV? They aren't there to help you, they are there to get you hooked and making them money.
There ARE real conditions that require treatment, BUT the amount of so called effected individuals are grossly misdiagnosed/self diagnosed or like I said... pussies. Oh noes... I'm having a panic attack... Oh noes... my life sucks, I'm depressed. Here's an idea... MAN UP and get your shit together. Quit medicating the symptoms of your problem, CURE the problem with self management and coping skills or techniques. You're not helpless so stop acting like it and stop rationalizing your behavior by hiding behind a disease, mental or otherwise.
You think people were acting this pathetic 50 years ago? Where did all the real men go? Do they even make them anymore? People have seriously lost touch with reality.
