I also didn't get why she kept saying she wasn't "born this way" with regard to the OCD (I mean, other than just name-dropping the song). Like, what if if she HAD shown obsessive compulsive tendencies from childhood? Are we supposed to think she should have NOT sought treatment even if she'd wanted it?

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

Mostly I'm disturbed with the immediately prescribing medication for OCD (while therapy also helps). Mostly this is because of personal experience. I once use to teach a little girl who was pretty much drugged up because she had OCD, those meds have heavy side effect (like, it affected her growth). While she was kicking the meds she was actually experiencing withdrawl like a junkie, and after that she was generally a happier, more rounded person. So I'm sort of not a fan of the message there.

I agree that she probably shouldn't have been immediately prescribed something, but she genuinely had a miserable life. She spent almost a whole hour obsessively cleaning her therapist's chair before sitting down; that kind of OCD isn't easily fixed without anti-anxiety medication. Yes, that shit has side effects (I've been on Zoloft), but some people DO ultimately need it. I think Emma could really benefit from being on medication; all meds aren't evil, they exist for a reason.

[kallanda-lee.livejournal.com]

I'm not saying no medication should be prescribed EVER. But it sort of bothers me it was done after 5 minutes of conversation and not attempting therapy AT ALL before doing so. But I concede this might just be my personal issue with meds.

Pills can also save people's life and I'm really glad they showed her taking them. There is so much stigma around psych medication including myths that they're the worse thing ever and it's a really good message to show kids out there that having a mental illness is serious and that taking medication can really help.

Emma is not a child and your experiences =/= the whole truth.

[ceruleansan.livejournal.com]

This. For a second I was afraid she was going to put the pill aside and go "No, that's not right!" and I'm really glad they had her take it because of the stigma. Once in a while Glee does something right.

[silver-coins.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly! I was so scared of that too, because it would be a very Glee thing to do. Medication isn't for everyone, but when the illness is screwing with your life the way Emma's is then it's certainly worth a try.

I'm not saying Emma is that child. I'm bothered by the ease of prescribing medication that can have pretty heavy side effect.
