Did I not say that I realize there are a lot of legitimate cases out there, but I also feel that it is way over diganosed.
No need to defend yourself if you fit into the former category and not the latter. But there are people that look up the symptoms on the internet and keep complaining about them until the Dr gives them the medication.
There are people that just cannot cope with normal day to day problems because they were never taught how to cope with disappointment.
