Helen, you're right in that it is a pervasive systemic problem. There are billion$ of reasons why Big Pharma is in the addiction and symptom-suppression business, especially where psych meds are concerned. There are a number of doctors who have written books on the same topic, one being "Medication Madness" by psychiatrist Peter Breggin. Healing/curing is misunderstood as losing money. The truth is that when someone is healed/cured, they tend to tell everyone who will listen about their great results and who treated them.
