This is also a bad take.
GP specifically mentioned prescriptions, so the customer/patient is not at fault here, if there is a judgment here, it is toward the doctors. And just because something earns you money doesn't mean it is above criticism.
I still don't share GP's opinion in that most medicine don't work. I think some don't work, and some is misused or used preemptively, therefore showing no effect. And I am also dubious about a lot of comfort medicine, but for most people I know who are under proper prescription, it is obvious that it works, it includes psychatric medicine.
