I see them, at least in my case, as mind-correcting. I resisted the use for a long, long time, having overcome years of almost paralyzing depression with other tools. A med works for me now by letting me be free of the last vestiges of my illness. When I don't need it, I won't do it. I can't, however, ignore the positive changes I've experienced. Literally life-changing.
...and...there's that bomb thing...

Fix symptoms are what Doctor’s do; fair enough I suppose. I tend to worry with drugs intended to change moods because it is so much harder to define who a person was meant to be that way. If your leg is broken it needs to be fixed that is obvious, I suppose you could argue if you are depressed that needs fixing too but the balance is hard in terms of ensuring the thing the person was meant to be isn’t altered too much. I generally don’t have much faith in doctors so I suppose the one constant I try to hang onto is that which no human has had an undue influence in shaping. Depression can be really intolerable sometimes for me but still I wonder if the good moods I feel from time to time would be so special without the contrast of the bleak moods.
I personally don’t have the right answer for that question, I suppose it just comes down to experience and faith of what you think is best.
