Tuesday June 30, 2009
It is like deja vu. Many famous celebrities snuffed out their beautiful lives with prescription drug overdose. Marilyn Monroe, Heath Ledger, Elvis Presley. And now the latest victim of drug overdose... Michael Jackson. In each of these cases, the scenario is pretty similar. Anxiety ridden lives, poor eating habits, harsh working conditions, low morale, and high expectations. Needless to say, prescription drugs -- antidepressants and painkillers -- have become the constant companions of high profile celebrities.

The need of the hour is better psychiatric counseling and therapy for anxiety-ridden people. Prescription drugs should be kept at bay and only administered when really needed. In the words of Michael Jackson, let us "heal the world and make it a better place. For you and for me and the entire human race."
