"One thing that becomes immediately apparent to me is whatever we're doing for mental health issues at the VA in San Diego is not working. It’s not working at all. It was the most horrifying thing I experienced, the insane overmedication of our Veterans. There were vets taking over 20 pills a day of opiates, mood stabilizers, anti-depressives, basically every psychotrope known to man, sleeping pills and ADD meds to counter the the downers so one could function during the day. Their goal is to make perfect, little zombies who don’t do anything."
