well, I can also speak to this, I have suffered through auto immune issues for about 20 years, only to be diagnosed correctly as having late stage Lyme disease. FOr years, doctors at the health center I went to literally threw SSRI's at me, because of my presenting issues with pain and brain fog and fatigue. I took them for a short while, they did nothing to help, and I was unable to sleep. Finally found a precious doc who is treating me right , who heard me. There are some stats that say women are more susceptible to auto immune issues. I don't know if it the estrogen some of us took when we used the pill, or that we used it going through menapause, but there is something that causes it, or everything causes it, cosmetics, cleaning chemicals, soaps, shampoos, scented candles, but the combo of all those things with our lady chemicals could be the cause. Of course I was depressed, I felt like shit a lot, and I was living a healthy lifestyle, not using chemicals. Doctors push these drugs, just like the statins and vaccines, the SSRI's are dispensed with just a request, or suggested.
