Recently I started researching the topic on medication and the link to psychology.
Certain drugs increase the feelings of depression or agression.Sometimes it does it's job. But I want to know your guys opinions on the subject? Concerns? and/or comments.
Personally, Im kind of on the fence about it. Certain people who've had a long history of depression or agressive behavior shouldn't be given the drugs for risk of increasing said behaviors. But I believe that certain drugs may help a patient.
But some drugs I question there credibility to work.

What drugs do you question the credibility?
For the most part, drugs are great!! Researchers/Doctors know quite a bit about the body and how it works and they also know what certain types of drugs do as well. So, I see no problem with prescribing drugs to people.
Granted, there are times when a persons body will reject the drug and make themselves worse off or just not have any effect. But for the most part, drugs do what they're supposed to do.
There's really only "risks" when it comes to rare/new types disorders/sicknesses/drugs/etc...
But the best thing for a person, in my opinion, is a healthy life. This means eating and living well and also having a positive out look on life or the situation someone may be in. You'd be surprised at just how far the mind can take a person.

Avoiding drugs as much as possible is ideal if possible. Often what happens after the drug starts to work you'll have take more drugs to get rid off or lessen the side effects of the first drug.
But every cause is different I would guess. I honestly have no idea, I haven't taken so much as a Advil in years.

I strongly am against giving drugs to a patient unless it is the last hope for the person. I believe this because I have a brother that was given Ritalin for ADHD that was more a minor inconvenience than an actual problem, and it messed him up something awful.
Also, I began reading the book Psychiatry May Be Dangerous For Your Mental Health, a book that advances choice theory by William Glasser (sp?) I firmly believe that he is right; drugs aren't needed to help those that are depressed or something similar. Those kinds of disorders only need therapy and time, if the psychiatrist cares properly of the patient, that is.

Like Yume_Megami asked, which drugs are being questioned?
Are these drugs mostly used for behavioral problems, depression, mental stability, etc.? Certain multi-tasking drugs should only be used for one problem, just so they work properly. If they also help with the other problems, then yay!
And patients who have recorded long-term or repeating depression, aggression, anything that threatens themselves or others, should be given prescription drugs when carefully under survelliance of the doctor or a responsible other.
Response too long? sweatdrop

Well in my earlier post I mentioned behavioral drugs.
But I also wanted to know you opinions about other drugs that may influence choices out of the ordinary (depression,suicide,death,etc.)
But I think this is a fairly good topic to discuss.

any drugs used in order to "correct" a certain behavior could receive a positive or negative reaction. That's how all things in life are...
until there are valid points and actual facts on chemical imbalances within the human body, then of course the use of medication to enhance the person's lacking what have you would be best.
Medication for severe depression should be a last resort... there are other methods to get a person thinking on a positive note rather than a melancholy outlook.
