Let's play the devil's advocate here... I've known people who have lost their marbles once they stopped taking their meds. Are we rally saying that their grip on sanity was a placebo effect? Or are we saying that we're just treating the symptom? If it's just the symptom, who cares, as long as the drugs help people?

For context, I'm not on any psychiatric drugs, have never been on any, and think they're largely being abused by American society. But the extreme cases suggest to me that they have a use.
