even taking this into consideration, after a while, you just want to grab these people by the shoulders, smack 'em around a little bit, and say, "quit being a little bitch! there's people out there who can't afford to feed themselves today, and they aren't killing themselves or getting high just for a moment of UNREAL happiness or peace." but, that's just my opinion.everybody has their demons, regardless of upbringing or personal circumstances.

this is extremely true.
but, you have to take into consideration that you dont actually know about anything that he may have had to deal with behind closed doors, or in his past.
the sad thing is, that for a lot of people, they cant see any other way. they struggle to find ways to cope instead of ways to actually change things. this is true for the majority of our nation, and its easy to prove with just one question:
How many people do you know about that are on some kind of prescription drug for something not physically wrong with them?
i know a lot. far too many. i hear people everyday talk about their add, adhd, depression, bipolar, mood swings, unhappiness, anxiety, anger, etc. and then i hear about the medications.
to me, drugs are drugs, whether they are illegal or Rx. there is no such thing as normal anymore, we are a nation full of people finding chemical ways of dealing with a life they dont like. instead of finding ways to change the life they dont like, they cope... with drugs.
this guy went the legal route, and none of us truly know if this was an accidental overdose, or on purpose. this guy could have drank a little too much and forgot that he already took his pill, or he could have had a bad fight with his ex or any of the other shitty people he had to put up with in show business and decided that he needed a few more than normal. or maybe he just wanted to be done with it. nobody knows. unless he left a note, which i found nothing saying he did.
also, he wasnt getting high, they were prescriptions that he overdosed on.
there are plenty of people around for you to say that to, nobody can be sad anymore, they are depressed.
Popping a pill is easier than actually dealing with life. Eating another Big Mac is easier than joining a gym. Having another drink is easier than going to a meeting and admitting you have a problem.the sad thing is, that for a lot of people, they cant see any other way. they struggle to find ways to cope instead of ways to actually change things.
When I feel depressed, I do something fun and my brain releases the right chemicals. I'm so sick of people taking pills to counteract life. Life sucks, try to have some fun with it.
While I agree with drugs being over prescribed there are instances of depression that are generated by a chemical imbalance in the brain and anti depressants really do help.
I see you're argument. I won't attack you for having your own opinion, but I will say I do not agree with it. It's creating an artificial good mood so one can live their life. I say, find something worth living for beyond the pill bottle. Volunteer, take up a new hobby, join the peace corps, push toddlers to the ground, who cares. Create a life that makes you want to get out of bed.+ Rep
I wholeheartedly agree that drugs are over-prescribed in this country, but on the flip-side, I also feel that you can't really speak to the severity of and how easy it is to get yourself out of a depression unless you've personally been there.
And when I say "a depression", I don't mean "my girlfriend dumped me and my friends are chodes, and I'm kind of lonely right now" depression. I mean actual depression where you feel like you're in a fog and you can barely drag yourself out of bed in the morning for months at a time. In those type of situations, I think medicines are helpful and appropriate...
