[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to be anti-meds. I internally judged women who “quickly” turned to anti anxiety, anti depression meds. This was part of my upbringing, my parents are still disdainful of medication.

As an adult I was diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed meds, they were life changing. I could better focus and it reduced my overall anxiety because my brain doesn’t rush constantly.

Now I understand. And I feel bad for the judgment (I never told anyone, but I still feel bad).  It’s not wrong to need these meds. The human body is flawed (how many of us wear glasses/contacts? How many of us have had an appendix removed? Needed a hysterectomy?). It’s silly to think that we shouldn’t need any thing to fix the problem in our brains but we can fix the problem in our bodies…[/quote]

I’m not getting the sense that PPs are anti-meds. At all. Merely questioning whether doctors are quick to prescribe. However, I’ve not been prescribed anything so that has not been my experience.[/quote]
