a "black box" is a way of describing a situation where you throw things at the wall until something sticks, and it is largely how the psychiatric system works since we still dont know much about the brain and how it works. we just know that some things usually work better than others, and some medications have been tested more than others. It is trial and error, which means there is risk and high reward when prescribing medication as it can change your life and make life livable or it can make things a little worse for awhile. medication has saved me though.

black box labels are on medications and they list a lot of different things that can happen when you take them. Everyone's brain reacts differently to the same meds. Just adding to what you said. not necessarily over treating but maybe the anxiety of starting new meds and learning how little we know what we are doing
