All of these categories also serve the drug companies. We can prescribe SSRI's for everything from a bad hair day to major depressive disorder.
With the extension of the bipolar spectrum or whatever, we are probably going to see mood stabilizers prescribed a lot more.
I personally see cause and effect. Cause: SSRI's being prescribed like candy - effect, mood stabilizers being prescribed like candy.
Just like with stimulants, as prescriptions for stimulants increase, so with that of benzo's and beta blockers etc to try and reduce the negative effects of the stimulants.
