Message	Oh man, the wieght loss craze in this country just kills me. Every time you turn around it’s some new drink, pill, food, diet that is GUARANTEED to just melt the fat away! Whatthefuckeva. If all this shit really worked the way it was marketed, these companies would go out of business because we’d all be a size 6. And really, how boring would it be if we were all the same size and shape? I personally like a little variety. lol *onetruesmartass*

Message	What kills me is all those pills for weight loss. That stuff I heard can mess up your heart! It is sad the way people thrive to make money over a real issue. I really think we should use more home remedies in our daily health and in life. Maggie

Message	I do think that ADD/HD is waaay over diagnosed, but there are kids that do benefit from the medications. I think our society has gotten so pill crazed it’s not even funny. There’s a pill for everything these days. Dick don’t work..take a pill, hair won’t grow..take a pill. Now I do think there’s a few out there that are fantastic, such as Procrit and a few others like it (can’t think of the name right now). But the med’s for hair loss, discolored toe nails and crap like that are just that, crap. *onetruesmartass*

Message	I use to take meds for depression. They barely worked fro me. It took for me to get sick of being negative. That’s just me though. I work hard emotionally to stay afloat. But, I have family who would be worst off mentally had it not been for their meds. Maggie

Message	Alleopaathic probably has a lot of side affects, while homeopathic is made of natural ingredients only and has no side affects or anything. I think that homeopathy should be further encouraged to be used if anything needs to be.

Message	I would never medicate one of my children for ADHD unless it was an absolute last resort. ADHD is far too common a diagnosis and too many children are being put on meds. And what do we know about long-term effects? Nothing. As for depression meds, I’m on them and they’ve helped me—a lot. If they’re not for you then God bless and good luck, but they saved my life.

Message	Around the turn of the previous century there were two approaches to the treatment of mental disease - one saw it as ultimately one of environment and spiritual conflict and the other saw it as something purely physical in terms of chemical composition or electronic pulses. Anyway see if you can guess which one was advocated .....

Message	In the old days, they used home remedies to cure most ills of old. But home remedies take awhile to kick in and people where in a hurry to work and support their family. Or they were to poor to afford a real doctor. People lived longer becuase things were s slower pace and life was far less stressful I assume. But if people had cancer back then, they died faster, due to poor treatment plans. Mental disorders were treated with lobodamies or electrical shock treatment. Women were sterilized if they felt she was slow or severely depressed. Yes, meds were not a big issue then but their understanding of certain illnesses were in the dark ages compared to now. No offence at all to your post. Just relating more info. Maggie

Message	My nephew seem to be doing better on his meds. Every kid is different though. I agree not all mental cases can be handled the same way. Maggie

Message	by far I think the american people take to much madicine, and med,for child with Ahdd is not a good thing I have a nephew who has been taking medicine for AHdd since he was five and I swear he only gets worse not better there are times when he is off the med,that I can actually see a better kid,then when he is on it,there is a lot of truth to herbal approaces,as far as it being able to treat some things,but of course there is those individuals with mental troubles who actually need the med to help them over what ever it is they need it for anyway Maggie thats my thoughtsone this adnil
