Hello @paul65,

I read with interest your post above titled, "Got Drugs?" I hesitate to think that you would consider all drugs to have the same dangers of opioids. As we all know, that is simply not true. While the opioid crisis did give the medical community, and our society, a moment of pause to reflect on what happened. It is undoubtedly unfair to classify all drugs as being dangerous and/or addictive.

I certainly understand the importance of holistic approaches to health issues (both physical and emotional) but certain drugs, such as anti-depressants can provide a depressed or anxious person with a bit of energy and give them a leg-up to help with their thought processes. For many people, an antidepressant drug helps them to sleep better and thereby have more energy to adopt a healthier lifestyle and to be able to participate more effectively with insight-oriented therapy.
