Yup, definitely. Their heuristic works perfectly a lot of the time, and then leaves some people feeling unhappy and pressured.

It works less well on some issues than others - I've bumped into a fair number of women who complain that they were put on the pill, their concerns weren't listened to, and they were consistently told that the problems they were having didn't really exist. Because the process doesn't seem to deal well with individual variation, and hormonal variation seems to be much more common than most people (including doctors) believe it is.

The Pill seems to be a bit of an issue for this kind of tick and bash patient processing.

I say seems - I wonder if it that unusual a problem.

I suspect it's a problem with anything that has varying effects depending on the person taking it*. I also suspect that The Pill is the most widely used of these drugs.


*Because people I know on psychiatric medication have similar issues sometimes.
