There is no way of scientifically measuring what a baseline chemistry is because everyone is different. However, there is overwhelming evidence that concludes that specific chemicals in the body affect mood and energy. There is overwhelming evidence that shows that specific abnormalities in brain function, based upon the evidence of specific behaviors that has decades of conclusive studies that show that, although each personality is different, our behaviors all fit into patterns that mimic one another. There is an encyclopedia of biological dysfunctions that showed that certain medications relieved the symptoms.
That being said, I do encourage people to try and find an alternative treatment for various psychological disorders however, some are just too grave and too dangerous to let go untreated by a professional doctor.
It is true that big pharma creates excuses every day to take some kind of medication for anything and everything. Many of the medications create side effects that require more medication.
If we lived in a healthy and balanced world, medication would be obsolete. We would have diets specifically tailored to our ailments with guaranteed results.
Unfortunately, we live in a toxic cesspool full of synthetic chemicals that have altered our natural development and have left many of us with documentable chemical imbalances.
You are absolutely right. Just because a doctor prescribed it to you, it doesn't mean that you are taking the right course of action. Try changing your lifestyle, surroundings, social circle, diet, even your location first. If the situation becomes desperate or if you are feeling overwhelmed by everything, all of the time, get help. Don't suffer needlessly because of the stigma attached to psych meds.
