medicalization over crime?
I really enjoyed reading this article! The way society is becoming, it seems as though, you have to have all this medication, to be normal. I think that doctors try to prescribe pills, and different medicines, for things that cannot be helped by medicines. Criminals however, are exempted from the legal justice system by being conducted via several tests on becoming “fit for trial” in order to decide a lighter faith due to the lack on mental healthiness. Doctors that give all these medications to kids, or individuals and whoever, doesn’t always help these individuals to cope with their disorders, resulting in worse side effects or actions that are immoral for the norms of society. Although not treating these disorders with proper medication, ca result in worse future for patients, having too many can end up on the same path as the untreated. The right amount and somehow, coming to a balance between medication and reality of the disease, with close supervision and right treatment, a sick mind can walk among healthy ones with no visual discrepancy.
