You have very low threshold for calling it high bloodpressure. Here doctors are OK with bloodpressure up to 150/95. We call everything below 140/90 normal, and between 140-160/90-100 mildly elevated..And exercise and diet is usually tried long before medication.

It just doesnt add together that you keep lowering the threshold and pumping people full of meds, while they are fatter and more unhealthy than ever.

Same with mental disease and drugs. An insane amount of young people are labelled "mentally ill" each year, and young people on psychopharma increases every year. And they change it so that almost any behavior is considered an illness. You're angry? anger problems. You're sad? Depressed. You're stressed out? ADD. You're not content? Anxiety.

Normal human emotions are considered a disease, and kids walk around believing that feelings are a disease.
