Paradoxically, getting redpilled cured my chronic depression. I think my subconscious was reeling with the cognitive dissonance caused by the web of lies we live in.
I'd rather deal with it up front.
This post just reminded me: there are a significant number of Americans out there who are dependent on prescription meds just to make it through each day, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there was indeed a correlation between that and the dismal state of mental health in the country with all the deranged leftists. Personally, I have never trusted any of those drugs, and I rarely even drink coffee - the only things I take regularly are vitamin supplements.
In 2008, 1 out of 5 people in the US were on mind-altering (prescription) meds. it's prolly quite a bit more now.
All I know is, when SHTF and those people are suddenly without access, there are going to be at least 20% of the population (dangerously) flipping TF out
In my experience, coming off SSRI antidepressant medication quickly is a horrible experience. I hope that people on these meds taper them off if there are supply issues.
I am on anti-epileptics. I have stockpiled some just in case.
Can you imagine people coming off anti-psychotics in a hurry?
One of the main effects of anti-depressants is to become somewhat emotionally numb. So, if this is what is happening, the people may not be able to generate a lot of moral outrage. Who knows? Also, 60% of them will suffer sexual dysfunction, so there's that.......
I tried Lexapro many years ago for anxiety. Even at the minimum dose I was on, it really dulled my mind, personality and emotions. It makes you just not care about anything. Not happy, not sad... still depressed, but unmotivated to even care about doing the dishes.
I took it for less than a year. I agree that these meds could be part of the reason fewer people care enough to do anything about the bullshit all around them.

nearly every person I know who with TDS is on either head meds, ambien, tramadol (Ultram), come to think of it.

This is a big deal
