Are we a generation of pill-heads?

this is something that has been on my mind for awhile. i feel doctors don't want to fix anything or help cure it so they give you pills and more pills to just cope. we are given pills to sleep, to wake up, to prevent pregnancy, to stop a pregnancy, to lose weight, to make you happy, to deal with everyday living and if any of these have side effects they give you another pills to correct the side effect. we have no reason to take responsibility for our actions or emotions.  so back to my question are we a generation of pill-heads?
