Personal responsibility is a set of words people talk a lot about, but don't like to put into practice. Americans in general seem to expect the government to protect them from all the evil in the world, and government just CAN'T. If folks would just slow down, educate themselves and such, we'd all be much happier.

I take Lexapro, relative of paxil, the drug mentioned in the article, and I can defintely tell when I need to take more (like last night). It helps control my impulse-control problems and anxiety, and I truly cannot live without it. I think the man's doctor was way too quick to prescribe an anti-depressant for a temporary situation. But then...I'm not a doctor...

Anti-depressants and obesity - two of my biggest hot-button issues. O_o;
