Psychiatric drugs are prescribed for the effects of problems like loneliness, stress, insomnia, poverty and domestic violence, to ‘block out’ the pain so that individuals can continue to live in these inhumane situations, rather than tackling the underlying structural causes. For example, an early advertisement for Benzodiazepines depicted a young woman at home, surrounded by a vacuum cleaner, iron and a mop, with the headlining message to the doctor:
‘You can’t set her free, but you can help her feel less anxious’
Take a pill
My head aches and there’s throbbing in my ears.
“Take a pill”
My heart aches and my eyes are filled with tears.
“Take a pill”
There are rats at my backdoor and I nearly fell
Through our rotten floor.
“Take a pill”
But doctor I’m not ill
Why do you tell me “take a pill”?
My roof is leaking still.
“Take a pill”
We’ve got no money to buy us any bread,
“Take a pill”
The ceiling will be crashing round my head,
“Take a pill”
My old man got the sack
And all the work has bent my back,
I feel I’m on the rack.
“Take a pill”
Now doctor I can’t do without your pills,
But they’ve upped prescriptions
And I can’t pay my bills.
Now tell me if you can
How you’ll help me and my old man,
Oh tell me if you will?
“Take a pill”
