The core of this article is the ethical use of antidepressant substances regarding existential issued rather than a therapeutic related use. Our objective is to review the following aspects: a. An anthropological sight. Man as a lacking entity. b. The purposes of medicine and the use of psycho-tropics in various situations. c. The abuse of medical substances a solution to common life problems. After completing the analysis, a proposal on how to handle sadness in a non medical way, admitting human limitations, will arise.
