This is not the time or the place for this discussion so I'll try to keep it brief and non-argumentative.
As a non-American, I agree the U.S. is way overmedicated.
That said, some people still do need medication. If you read the post you'll see the guy himself has avoided the medication until now due to a bad episode of being misdiagnosed and medicated as a child. He has literal first-hand experience of what you're complaining about.
I'm in Japan now, and this place is the exact opposite. Mental illness "doesn't exist" and half the medications prescribed in the US are illegal here. And hey, 3 train jumpers a day. "Hey pussy, pull yourself up by your bootstraps" doesn't work either.
