Why do mental health services rely so heavily on medications which effectively disable many people?

Additional Information

Mental health services currently rely heavily on questionable diagnoses, and medications which when used long-term are more likely to disable many patients than to produce improvement. Evidence has shown non-medical interventions to be more effective, cheaper and safer. The government should review the evidence on the effects of psychiatric medications alongside evidence supporting non-medical interventions (e.g. Soteria, Open Dialogue), and accordingly make appropriate changes to government policy.
