Did you know you can get on drugs if you go through a really bad break up now? I just think that medication isn't good, I mean everything happens for a reason, so if you were meant to be so distraught you killed yourself then that must be what was supposed to happen? right? or maybe I'm wrong, maybe God meant for us to invent drugs for everything? so that makes it okay... this is turning into more of a philosphical question then I thought it would...what's your take?

I think your logic is flawed. If everything happens for a reason, then EVERYTHING happens for a reason. Not just suicide or your possible death in an automobile accident that was prevented by seat belts and airbags.
You seem to believe in God and if you believe God has control and that God is good, then you must accept that ALL things that happen are good. That includes the drive by shooting of a 5 year old child, the murder suicide of your whole family (save you) by your brother and a million abortions a year. To be of any other mind indicates that you don't believe that God really is in control. My wife is a Christian and has never been able to discuss this issue with me. You see, I am an Atheist and feel free to evaluate things that happen as good or bad. For example I could say everything in the world is great except cars. I think we should ban cars and go back to the horse. Of course, the fact that I own a buggy whip manufacturing company would not affect my feelings on this issue.
I think you need to reevaluate your position, and perhaps the whole basis of your faith. Just what is God to you, and how much control does he really have?
I hope this hasn't ruined you, it is a very deep question and something that could easily be discussed for a very long time without any bilateral or multilateral conclusions being drawn. When one goes inside their own head and heart, things are not always simple.

Apart from those who have ailments that require medication for survival or for well being, most people in the industrial nations, particularly America, have been honed by the pharmaceutical industry to think that the struggles of life we once called "human circumstance" are problems needing a cure. There is also too much interest in trying to make everyone seem happy all of the time, and that anyone who isn't happy all of the time must be avoided.

I am a bi-polar-addict that believes that medicine is good for a short time when it becomes the indivduals and doctors answer to the problem somthings wrong. i take now pills for other pills side effects are a big problem and much of the time the reason a persons on pills their whole life. Once they stop taking pills all these symptoms come back and the person falls back in the same routine.

People want a quick fix and don't want to wait, we are a civilization of wanting things now and wanting things fast. We want our problems solved fast, if not now maybe yesterday. We don't care of what things might come from, for taking these pills for everything we take them for as long as they solve our current problem. If we get some bad side effect there will be another pill that fixes that too.
Fast food, 1 hour photo, microwaves, sun tan in a bottle are other examples of things sped up for us.

specific (yet i do no longer think in "magic" so it would could be yet another style of pill). by using fact if I erased that one reminiscence, something of my existence might have proceeded in an exceptionally distinctive direction. I could stay with this every day to any extent further and that i could take medicine for it every day. i do no longer evaluate myself 'widely used' by using fact of it and that i've got continually wanted to comprehend what that 'widely used' could be. I usually experience that if i did no longer have this, i could be happier and extra efficient and experience lots extra like assisting others. Even right this moment in my existence (early 40's) i'm asocial, experience unhappy and lonely, have not got any motivation, and that i've got confidence trapped. i'm going to take it....

"Some" specific diseases do require medication and we do benefit by taking them. However, there are alternatives that should be tried before you are forever to be on a "pill" for the rest of your life. The doctors and pharmaceuticals are getting rich and richer off dependent people of which there is boo coos, so now you have supply and demand and filling the pockets of fat cats....and you wonder why.....they say why not???

Actually, what many people don't realize is that the pills they take simple release chemicals that are already in their bodies. What would be more efficient in this machine of a body would be to control our physical abilities by first becomning aware of them.

because the tv/radio/magazine/billboard/
doctor/mofo's told us that there is a magic pill for everything.

Americans take a lot of drugs, I think, because they/we are looking for a quick fix, instant gratification.
