Are they really? As someone who takes SSRIs after trying out more 'serious' alternatives for ADHD-related depression (e.g. slow release stims which are bona-fide narcotics), SSRIs are treated like candy and the first treatment option it seems to me.
- Dma54rhs 5y agoStopping the use of SSRIs is definetly not a joke and that part unfortunately in my experience doesn't get explained or taught enough for patients in my opinion. I've used them my whole life and try to talk about it as much as I can to parents of especially teens who take them.
