It's certainly true that much of the psychiatric medication out there dulls any kind of creativity or human desire of any kind! However, I believe medications have improved over the years. Now, if the psychiatrists can be arsed to do their jobs properly and think very carefully about the medication and dosage prescribed, and be prepared for a bit of trial and error, medication doesn't always have to have such adverse affects.

Of course, in the days of Van Gough and Isaac Newton, and even as recently as Syd Barret, such medications weren't in existence. Even now, many mental health disorders go completely undiagnosed and therefore untreated. Also it'd be unrealistic of me to assume that every single mental health patient is capable of the genius of Syd Barret or Captain Beefheart or any of the other luminaries that have suffered in the same way.

Gone completely off-topic but there we are!
