Well, it's a small rant. My mom was on some anti-depressant. She got a bit dependent on it. By "a bit" I mean very. The scary part though was that while she was on it, I remember her spending WAY too much money, making careless decisions, and really losing some of her normal personality. It was scary. Then we found out that studies had shown that there were some pretty horrible long-term side effects.
Another was my sister's friend. She was on anti-depressants as well. To put it shortly, she was so doped up that she stepped in front of a car.

I also don't like most chemical-altering drugs. I'm more into preventative health care than perscribing pills for everything. Maybe if we got all the right nutrients in our diets we wouldn't be so sleep-deprived and weak and all that. My sis started taking multivitamins and eating more nutritious stuff- now people are like "wow... you're always so energetic and articulate.... at like, 5 in the morning-" Like, if you're depressed, try other things before you try the drug. I've found that I feel better if I get up and do something productive or hang with friends instead of sitting on my pillow-butt in front of the computer all day. I think that the uprise of ADD is very much harbored by today's way of life. 15-second commercials, videogames, fast cars, telephones, things like that. We're so used to getting everything in such short spurts, that you've probably lost your attention to this paragraph by now. ;-)

I should go steep my thoughts on the back burner then write an essay. Or better yet, some cautionary literature.
