Re: Insomnia
A "SHY" person in India would be considered to be suffering from "SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER" in the United States and be put on medication.
Its easy to see why Pharma companies would push psychiatric drugs because it is their CASH COWS. Once a person has been on these drugs for a reasonable period of time, it is difficult to get off them because of the withdrawal side-effects. So most of the "patients" are on them for life.
And what do Psychiatrists really do.....they just listen to your story with a blank face and then prescribe medications by trial-and-error. First Zoloft, if that doesn't work..let's put you on Prosac, that's not working...let's try Luvox....not working ..no problem...lets try Lexapro...Is this what you call medical science.
The whole field of Psychiatry is nothing but a load of CRAP.
Anybody who is extremely stressed, anxious, has trouble sleeping etc should visit a Psychologist (not a Psychiatrist), undergo behavioral therapy etc....medications should be the last resort.
Psychiatric medications have never "CURED" anybody.
I completely agree with you... its all about milking money out of your wallet.
