[QUOTE="JGG, post: 68781730, member: 142591"] Well, when people use medication to treat any disorder there is a struggle to find the right medication. Doctors want to curb symptoms, but minimize side effects. You can't just say take some Valium and you'll feel better. Secondly, for the most part medication only ever really manages symptoms not the underlying problems. If someone suffers from a chemical imbalance, then all we can do is try to regulate those chemicals, we can't fix the reason they're imbalanced to begin with. What you're suggesting is that when someone has a heart attack, and is put on medication for it, if they then have another heart attack we should blame the medication either because it must have caused the heart attack, or because it didn't prevent one. We should ignore the fact that the patient had a heart condition. [/QUOTE]
