I realize that people have problems with psychotropic medications (antidepressants, anti-anxiety, anti psychotics, etc), but please leave them out of this argument as the do not compare. Take it from me. I actually have to take some of these for my health the same way a diabetic would have to take glucose or any other example of a chronic illness.

Many people are given these meds irresponsibly, and I know that. However many people, like myself, are given these meds because our brain chemistry zigs when it should zag. If you gave me a shot of a glucose based radioactive isotope dye and took a P.E.T scan of my brain, you'd be able to see the imbalanced chemical exchanges that go on causing me to have a severe case of Bipolar disorder.

F.Y.I However, progressive neuropsychiatry is finding out that anticonvulsant medications such as those given to patients with epilepsy are more effective in treating mental illness than the aforementioned psychotropics. However, I still maintain that they should be left out of this argument.
