A member asked:

My psychiatrist prescribed many medicines even though i don't have any symptoms.is he exploiting me,for sake of money?.i've heard doctors do that.

Maybe: Without knowing more about your condition, it's impossible to answer your question. I assume you had symptoms which caused you to seek treatment, so medication may need to be maintained for now. I think most doctors are ethical and wouldn't prescribe without indications.
