This point is sort of irrelevant to the article.
Read this, perhaps instead.

The issue is not that they are portrayed as too "hardcore", but rather in general things like depression are over-simplified and dumbed down to stoke consumer demand for narcotic remedies.
(Trivializing the subject is not a good thing.)
That is: Antipsychotics are for people who experience psychosis, and people who experience psychosis are crazy lunatics, so it's absurd that so many normal people are being prescribed antipsychotics.
