"Shrinking access to long-term psychotherapy and hospital care may also play a role, the experts said."
It's much cheaper to prescribe a pill (especially if some or all of the cost of the drug is passed on to the patient) than to provide long-term care and treatment of any kind. As long as the bottom line counts more than quality of life, this is what will be. Maybe someday we'll have a "quality of life" pill, and then it won't be a problem.
