> Making blanket generalisations when it comes to mental health is extremely reckless and misinformed. The SSRIs are modern snake oil. I gave a reason why they seem to work for some people. Other people think that they're helped, but really their SSRI has only helped them "not care" about circumstances in their life that they're not happy about. I've posted this link in earlier comments. > Doctors aren't in the business to kill people. Pharmaceutical companies are in business to pay dividends to their shareholders. Their researchers are employed to make new patent drugs, not to figure out fundamental causes of disease. For these businesses, killing people is par-for-the-course: not the ideal outcome, not unexpected. Doctors' credibility is just collateral damage. > SSRI do save lives. We just know they kill a tonne of people as well. Robert Whitaker disagrees with you - he's found that, over the long term, most psychiatric medications are very harmful. Look at his website [1], read his books, and get back to me with specific reasons why he's wrong. [1] https://www.madinamerica.com/ https://www.madinamerica.com/
