I had depression, generalized anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, and myriad issues related to that. I tried years of meditation, diet changes, vitamins and supplements, and exercise routines.
When I finally agreed to try SSRIs after years of resistance, I was essentially cured within 3 weeks after 5 years of debilitating issues.
- hackerlight 3y ago> debilitating issues. Could it be that you had severe depression, if the issues were debilitating? Irving Kirsch's studies have shown that anti-depressents are indeed effective for such cases. Or perhaps it just happened to work for you. RCTs only look at mean effects so they dilute exceptions and outliers. Anyways, this is a more pro-anti-depressants/pro-psychiatry analysis of Irving Kirsch's research: https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/07/ssris-much-more-than-you-wanted-to-know/ https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/07/07/ssris-much-more-than-y...
