This will get buried but as far as ssris having "really bad side-effects for most people that take them", I think thats not true. I see lots of people on SSRIs,

This will get buried but as far as ssris having "really bad side-effects for most people that take them", I think thats not true. I see lots of people on SSRIs, most deny having any side effects, some have minor side effects that tend to resolve with discontinuation, rarely do I see a "really bad" or persistent side effect. It's like plane crashes, rare events get lots of focus and thus some people are terrified of flying, but really it's quite safe.
