It is scary knowing there are general practitioners that will write a perscription simply because someone walks in and says they think they're bipolar.

The only reason you'd think that is because you have no concept of what bipolar disorder is.

Just because I don't have issues myself does not mean I don't know anything about the topic.

I dunno it kind of seems like you're operating from the stance of someone who thinks an individual has full control over their consciousness, which isn't even true for mentally "healthy" people.

I'm simply saying you don't need to jump to medication as the first step.

If you have a true neurological disorder then medication is a very important component to help regulate your brain chemistry. If you're sad because something bad happened to you, you don't need prozac.
