Antidepressants do help people with depression LOL. Sure, if you want to argue about how exactly they help people, whatever. But they do work, and they often make a huge difference in people’s lives
Apparently ssri's are more like: pro-depression pills with a side of suicidal tendencies and a glazed-over emotional state. Something, something, ssri's aren't even as good as placebo- which makes them worse than taking nothing (LOL).
People need to stop making excuses for their inability to control their own thoughts/ actions, and consider their internal & external karmic burden. Then make a worthwhile change- instead of being a med-fag sheep. Forever unhealthy.
Anti-depressants are often used with other therapies as well. Whether it’s psychotherapy or behavioural strategies. I work as a counsellor and I’ve seen first hand how anti-depressants have worked in the lives of my clients (and some of my friends as well). Not everyone can be as strong as Shazxofshadilay, forever healthy
Antidepressants do something, but that is not evidence that they work. A recent study showed that the evidence they manage depression is bunk and that doctors don't really understand what causes depression, but it is not a "chemical imbalance."
From what I recall, they created chemical imbalances of the substances SSRIs affect in lab rats and they did not show or develop signs of depression. I think they did this is volunteer humans as well by adjusting their diet to create chemical imbalances (and measurement) and found happy people remained happy, depressed people remained depressed. Thus the study concluded that SSRIs affecting serotonin are not doing what psychiatrists think they are doing.
