Anxiety Chemicals
Are some people abusing anxiety medication?
More and more lately I have been hearing my friends,family, aquaintances, and even strangers telling me that they are taking anxiety meds. I do bielive that people with real chemical imbalances should try medication but lately I feel like people are using it as a crutch.
I completely agree with you. There are the chemical imbalances that need that to get any better, but i think all too often anymore drs especially GPs are all too willing to give an rx for anziety or depression, with someone decribing those kind of symptoms, without determaining if they need them, or really just need therapy/coping skills and such.
Personally i dont think GPs should be able to prescribe those kinds of meds….think they should have to refer them to a psychiatrist.
But yes, they are overly prescribed. Though i dont think abused is the right word cause they are not like pain killers or anything…..if there is no chemical imbalance there really is nothing that the med can do.
But this is also why studys are coming out that anti depressants are not ver effective……because so many people are on them that do not need to be, not that they are not effective for those that need them.
Im saying this as having bipolar disorder and anziety, and being on meds for them.
