No, I'm not everyone, but neither are you. The point is that medication is not the only answer, and it's not the right answer for everyone. Some people need medication! But for other people, it does nothing or only makes it worse. And there are absolutely a great number of doctors who try to push pills at people right off the bat - I know because I saw a few of them before I finally found the doctor who wanted to try CBT. The first few I saw heard the word "anxiety" and just shoved a script for Xanax/Buspar/what have you at me without ever trying to dig any deeper or explore other options.

Overmedicating is absolutely a problem, but it doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of people out there for whom medication is in fact the right answer. It just means that maybe we shouldn't be so quick to leap to it without trying all available options.
