Last week at school a teacher said that doctors only give psych meds to slow people's brains down and make them "not a problem anymore". Actual words.

I've always been a little worried that they give me medicines just to control me. I don't know how to explain it. And that if I don't want to take them anymore they will force me and take my freedom away.

Please someone tell me that these medicines are here to help me. I'm 16F btw
