We are a pill popping nation.
There’s so much to that statement, and it could be expounded on for many, many facets, but I will focus on one, in keeping with the theme of the last several weeks.
How’s your relationship with your significant other’s pharmacy?
What exactly is he (and especially, she) on? What is it doing to health? To mood? To mentality? To rationality (or irrationality)?
A population that reaches for a pill to “solve” something, but usually never “solves” it, is a nation not dealing in reality between the genders. What is real where drugs are involved? How does one know where the drugs stop and the person’s “real” self begins? Who or what are you having a relationship with? How do all those drugs interact?
The marked rise in bipolarity, social disorders, hormonal swings, and general “odd” behavior (often no longer recognized by many!): what part do all these pills, many of which are no doubt contraindicative, play?
As if we needed any MORE stress and dysfunction between the genders.
Once again you are spot on with this! The ads for the drugs that aren't even depression related have multiple warnings for all the mental/emotional side effects. What is wrong that's bad enough to take a pill that causes "suicidal thoughts"? You've just scraped the tip of the iceberg!
