I'm not trying to blame the poor patients with neurotic subtypes of depression, its the fault of the doctors, who see pills as an easy way out, rather than trying to get to the bottom of their problems.
I said it a few days ago, but a co-workers wife left him, and a couple of days later, he started to itch all over, went to the doctor, and instead of reasurance, or advice, or an anthhistamine, or even a few Valium to help him over the crunch, he was prescribed a six month course of Paxil.
I doubt very much it would have done anything for his stress induced itching - but he was sensible enough not to take it
