Oh, you were thinking about small children. In that case I suppose I agree; always best to try to keep kids as medication-free as healthy. Adults are a different matter, I suppose.
Well, problems can still arise in adults when medicating for a problem that either doesn't exist, or using the wrong medication for the condition. Depression is a diagnosis that can differ between doctors, so you CAN get misdiagnosed, or prescribed a treatment which is wrong for your condition. Not saying that doctors don't know what they're doing, just that everyone makes mistakes, especially when it comes to trying to figure out the human brain.
Tibertus 说:
I don't think you're being paranoid, but then again, I dislike doctors on general principle. When I was a wee lass of 19 or so, many years ago, I (unknowingly) suffered with glandular fever for about 4 weeks before I finally managed to get to the doctors (and only because my mother kidnapped me, forced me into her car, drove me to the doctor and demanded that he look at me).
And more recently, when I was suffering from shortness of breath, coughing, and pain in my ribs/lungs, I only went to the doctor after about 2/3 weeks of rib/lung pain. He immediately referred me for x-rays, but they didn't find anything, and the pain went away on its own after a month anyway.
After seeing what anti-depressants did to someone I cared for, I would never, ever go on them myself. Nor would I recommend them for anybody unless they have a genuine chemical imbalance thing going on.
I'm pretty much the same with doctors myself. I had an infected cut on my arm recently, tried to treat it myself with bacitracin and hydrogen peroxide for a couple weeks before I finally went to the doctor and got the weakest antibiotic he would prescribe to me. Not really a fan of any kind of medication. I even told the hospital not to give me any pain killers when I was in the ER after my motorcycle accident last summer.

See, this is the smart thing to do.
Too many people go to the doctor and go "GIMME YOUR STRONGEST ****!" and then we wonder why infectious diseases are becoming immune to anti-biotics.
Just thought that I might post this here as well:
Besides, I already told my parents about it. They told me that it might be just the weather {I actually agree with that, I know that this darkish rainy weather has bad effects on me}. But I would definitely like to hear some pro tips.

you mean, too many medicinesdoctors treat the symptoms rather than the cause of them?
and sure they do, you dont think that for symptom that in 99% cases is X, they will proscribe you thousand of dollars worth of test, take your whole life history and investigate your home
its not house, your average GP has 20min per person... if its persist you'll return for further tests.
or do you have a better suggestion on how this should be done?

Bacitracin is commonly found in Neosporin and is used as a mild topical antibiotic. It's not prescription or anything, and it's usually a good way to keep a nasty cut from getting infected. It kept the road burn on my leg from getting infected, which is fairly impressive, since that thing was nasty. Hydrogen peroxide is a pretty common antiseptic.
Let it be for the most part. If I get something like that, I let it be until it looks like its ready to be terminated, as in for its starting to dry up or somesuch. I got this huge... I dont know, bruise thing behind my ear, which prevented me from using my headset because it hurted so much. It was also kinda, I dont know, embarrasing at school. So I waited for a few days, the pain went away, and I destroyed the ****er. Quite a lot of blood/tallow...stuff/something else came out, hurted like hell, I already thought Id have to ask a doctor whats up, but the next morning, I felt nothing. It was gone.
Its still kinda there, a small scar behind my ear, but its not bothering me.

I don't generally go to the doc's over every little thing, only when I'm genuinely worried about something. I don't have a lot of faith in doctors because of being brushed off by a lot of them.
