Are people taking too many drugs

I know I have anxiety, but I didn’t realize I had depression. Apparently, my doctors know more about this than me. If they prescribe me meds, I’m inclined to believe I need it. I voluntarily started cognitive therapy. I hope that helps me and that I won’t need the meds for long,

I often wonder why folks are so anti-meds these days than I recall them being back in the day. Back in the day for me is quite a distance as I will soon turn 82! I have a severe chronic illness called Panhypopituitarism which means I don’t have a working pituitary gland. Have had this illness for over twenty years - it was caused due to head trauma (from spousal abuse). Consequently, if I want to stay on Earth I’ll need to take all of my many medications for life and it amazes me how easily I’ve been able to become adjusted to all those meds.
