One reason why health care costs is out of control and our quality of life suffers

According to the NAPPP (National Association of Professional Psychology Providers), 80% of the prescriptions for psychotropics (included are anxiolytic, sedatives & sleep aids) are written by PCP's (primary care physicians) who have little or no mental health training and your Rx can cause dependency and reactions to OTC (over the counter) drugs or even food. This is a danger when your are driving.

And we wonder why health care is out of control & "quality of life" suffers?
