I am going to stand somewhere in the middle.

Some do have some problems which needs drugs to cure. Such as my uncle, who is a bit like Panzer/Kaiser, who had a problem.

I am not sure what is was, it may have been depression, but he got worked up over little problems. For example, he lost his passport, he searched his house then went to where he worked to look for it, he then started bagging his head against the wall and wanting to kill himself. He found the passport next to his bed and calmed down.

On the other hand some people need to be hit with a wet fish.

Its all just escapism for weak people.
This something my uncle would say.

I sort of agree with it.
