You should not judge the entire profession of psychiatry based on your own experience. There are plenty of people who have suffered from psychiatric abuse. That is the kind of fact with which you are uncomfortable. You take drugs by your own volition. That is not something that can be said about people who have been forced to take them unwillingly. I am happy for you that SSRIs help you. Do not let that cause you to ignore the people who have been hurt by them. Speed does help people to focus, but it can also cause some long term damage. The diabetes analogy is a marketing scam that enables pharmaceutical manufacturers to sell more drugs than they would otherwise. There is a science to marketing with which you may not be fully acquainted.
