Kellie - interesting article!

Studying sociology, I see much of people's anger, frustration, resentment and pain as not necessarily being due to a problem with their biological chemistry or merely vague "stress," but with the fact that they can not reconcile the injustices they feel and experience.

For example, in the USA, many people are told from the time they are little, "You can be anything if you just work hard at it!" This is clearly not true, as Hilary Clinton learned. When people work very hard and still do not have their basic needs met, are treated badly by others, and feel overwhelmed, no drug can magically "fix" this, and the doctor's comments reveal that the basis of drugging people apparently was based on aiming drugs at the wrong chemical reactions in the body to begin with!

Again, great article, thanks Kellie.
