I'm no cheerleader for medication - I'm very frustrated that in my working life, in mental health, that the "medical model" dominates and marginalises the role of practitioners like me (an occupational therapist).
My gripe was more the way the advice "Get off the drugs" was delivered; which may encourage someone to suddenly stop prescribed medication rather than discussing options with their doctor.
