Doctors probably do over-prescribe such things, but I really hate it when people assume that everyone who is on an anti-depressant is on it 'cause they're lazy and want a happy pill. Some people have low seratonin levels and need them regulated just as diabetics need their glucose regulated. So no, I don't think we are. We need to be careful, especially with regard to children, but we need to be more considerate, too. Just because you have never experienced such a physical problem doesn't mean that no one else has it either... (No, no, I'm not angry, I just feel this gets ignored a lot.)
