I understand this perspective, but I think that it's an overcorrection. I grew up with depression that went untreated until my late teens, and if I wasn't medicated when I was or soon thereafter I would in all likelihood not be alive today. My sister has really severe ADHD and she was unable to function until she got medicated for ADHD before teenagerhood. Saying "it's ok to be anxious and shy sometimes" is all well and good, but being shy and anxious can often be painful and prevent people from interacting socially in ways that they want to do but are too painful. I think it's probable that we are overmedicating psychological ailments, but I also would be loathe to stop medications without another solution.
