On the contrary, blindly believing (not knowing) is unscientific in any and all regards.

I too saw people taking pills and becoming "robots" in the methaphoric sense. They were dull and not themselves, "just" without suicidal tendencies. It was absolutely devastating to live under a roof with them.

When I got a major depression, a decade back, I decided that I will not take any meds, because I'd rather die the person I was, than live on as an empty shell.

Did that mean I didn't get help? Hell no!
