yeah jeanise-- heroin relieved my suffering for over a year- until it almost killed me and i had to get help for my problems-- which didn't by the way, include taking something to mask my anxieties. the solution to mental anxieties should be cognitive therapy, spiritual maintenance, and the development of healthy coping skills. not a handful of pills. pills are a last resort for people who can't recover from their mental problems through mental self improvement. messing with your brain chemistry with pills that behave differently in every individual is extremely dangerous.

So what Jeanise is saying is that when someone is having emotional problems with life, the best thing they can do is to get drugged out of their mind. (or as she says, "relieve their pain") Heaven forbid that someone might try to fix the problem instead of covering it up with meds. (in case you're too dim to realize it I am being sarcastic)

If they signed up to serve in the military, they already had "impaired ability to think and make decisions". All kidding aside, I have no respect for any medical professional who comes up with this stuff about leaving the service "out of conscious" because the these medications actually RELIEVE SUFFERING!!! If a person is coming to a psychiatrist for help, they are already suffering and they already have impaired thinking and judgment and it is very painful and they want help! These drugs relieve their pain and they can actually think more clearly and display better judgment with the use of these drugs. I also noticed this psychiatrist did not mention anything about their suffering - only her beliefs about drugs. She only wants society to think well of her for refusing to be a "pill pusher" and cares nothing about people who are suffering.
