Is it, though? I mean specifically mood-altering drugs like Wellbutrin or Zoloft. Is it okay to alter our brain chemicals and our personality just for the sake of normalcy? Aren't we then denying ourselves?

It can be argued that the normalcy isn't just a societal standard, but rather the normalcy your body should be experiencing if it weren't for whatever the hell it's currently doing to you. In that event, doesn't medicine just get you back to where you were originally intended to be?

That isn't to say that I don't think people are over over-medicated and use these things like crutches, but the answer to one extreme is never another one.
