Description:
This paper discusses the use of drugs in American society. The paper presents two sides of an argument regarding the use of medication for the treatment of psychological ailments, such as depression. The paper argues in favor of the position that the growing medicalization of social ills, ranging from hyperactive children to various forms of soft addiction, cannot simply be addressed by one pill. The paper argues for a more tempered and critical approach to treatments that do not discount alternative therapies.
