I'm concerned about becoming dependent on medications I don't need.
I'm worried that if I go to any sort of medical professional they will succumb to "if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail" and I will end up on some sort of meds that I don't need.
I just have this impression that 80% of people could walk into any psychiatrist's office, describe their experiences, and walk out with a prescription or three.
I'd like it if someone could convince me that these are not legitimate concerns.
