strongly disagree ^^ just about everything can be managed without pills, such as anxiety. you don't want your body to be dependent upon a substance if it's unnecessary.
i went through a typical teen stage when i was 16 due to family issues and they tried to prescribe me lexapro, an anti-depressant and i decided to take it one day and stop. i realized that it's within me to find out how to deal with my problems and i was not going to become dependent upon a pill.
i think it's very unfair as to how many doctors are so quick to prescribe anti-depressants, and anxiety pills. rather, they could help the kids deal with it internally and learn how to cope and deal with their emotions, or at least direct them to the right person; eg. a psychiatrist. otherwise, all they're doing it is extending the procedure if they ever want to come off those pills.
it's all about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$. you don't need those damn pills.
