About creating a problem after having found its solution

"there is increasing concern that women will be prescribed drugs for sexual problems that in reality stem from emotional difficulties in their relationship." Umm.. isn't this true for a wide variety of ailments? Don't people get prescriptions like Prozak, Ridlin, Zyban, etc.... for all kinds of things that can probably be overcome with a little self-discipline, creativity, and time. Seems to me the first course of action these days is a pill. NOt saying there aren't valid uses for these medicines, BTW. I didn't realize these drug companies were actively involved in "promoting" new disease definitions. No conflict of interest there. :~ BW "Gandalf. Yes. That is what they used to call me.

This is because they tend to assume ALL illnesses are psychological and go to the shrink before they go to the doctor. The psychiatrist then refers them if it really is something serious.

David Wulff wrote: I mean come on people, there is *no* excuse for us not to eat good portions of meat, vegetables and dairy products each and every day. Yes, there is -- it would be REALLY boring! :-D I'm sorry, but I do like pizza or a KFC at least once a week, seriously lacking in green veg. Then there's my addiction to pasta and rice. And then there's the odd "snacky" day where you eat sandwiches and such all day long and find you don't want an evening meal. I mean, I'm all for moderating this and trying to keep things balanced, but meat and two veg every day would make me want to throw after a week of it. I'd much rather buy a jar of multi-vit ;P Paul Pleasently caving in, I come undone - Queens of the Stone Age, No One Knows
Well okay, sure, even I have the odd day or two each month where I'll have a McD's for lunch out of the sheer convienience of not having to prepare something myself or else just for a bit of change once in a while, but I still manage to eat my balanced diet too, and I rarely miss my apple or an orange for afters (an apple does wonders for cleaning the bits of food from your mouth). I honestly don't think there has been a single day that I have not eaten at least *some* fruit and vegatables. I could survive without dairy and I could survive without meat, but I couldn't get through a week without my salads and fresh fruit.

I could live without dairy EXCEPT for cheese - I love cheese, have it on everything. I couldn't survive without meat at all; I had trouble with two weeks in Turkey where all meat seems to come in small chunks while I do like a hunk of meat to cut into. I'd have no trouble living without salad, except in cheese sandwiches :-D. I do love fresh fruit which does help in the balancing of dietry habits.

Paul Riley wrote: In Germany (or so I'm told), if you want to become a psychiatrist, you also need to get through medical school. I believe this is also true in the US. There is a clear distinction between a psychiatrist (real doctor who can prescribe drugs if req'd) and a psychologist (not). Mike Mullikin :beer:
