> People who want to fight against the idea that these modern miracles (drugs that treat depression) are effective treatments for this debilitating, but curable disease, The modern miracle drugs that effectively treat and cure debilitating depression are not SSRI's. Whatever benefits SSRIs have are probably a result of their influence on neurosteroids: >> Certain antidepressant drugs such as fluoxetine and fluvoxamine, which are generally thought to affect depression by acting as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), have also been found to normalize the levels of certain neurosteroids (which are frequently deficient in depressed patients) at doses that are inactive in affecting the reuptake of serotonin. This suggests that other actions involving neurosteroids may also be at play in the effectiveness of these drugs against depression [0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurosteroid#Role_in_antidepressant_action https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurosteroid#Role_in_antidepre... Other miracle drugs are also helpful for addressing the cause. Big Pharma doesn't care about cause/effect, they just want patients on maintenance treatments. Depressed people usually have some sort of metabolic problem, caused by thyroid problems, inadequate diet, etc. Emotional stress is usually a major factor too. > belong in the same category as flat earth era, anti-vaxxers and now, apparently, "raw water" fans/advocates. Where do you belong? Are you a tireless advocate for the status quo?
