Lol these debates. It's only the ones who have been fed the nonsense are the ones believing it's truly a big problem they can't fight without pills. They can't bear to accept that maybe, just maybe they were fed lies and ideologies that had them happily do nothing about their "disorder" other than take a few pills.
Depression hurts, a bunch of other things rather than pills will help .
Learn what a natural high is imo.
That's just ONE psychiatrist's opinion out of MILLIONS.
There's no reason to assume he's correct.
For some reason this forum is full of people who love to believe in these kinds of conspiracy theories with "big pharma" and assume that just because a lot of big pharmaceutical companies have done horrible shit that they should throw the baby out with the bathwater and assume that popular antidepressants can NEVER help ANYONE.
But I don't care who says serotonin imbalance is a lie.
I don't even care if it is a lie.
When people are helped by a medication they know it and that's all there is to it.
Also, what is a "natural high" going to do for people who are having bizarre cognitive interferences with their daily lives??
I can tell that you've never experienced some of the things that SSRIs can help with.
No amount of natural highs is going to help with certain things people experience unless they are capable themselves of doing a lot more than producing a "high" because treating anxiety and/or depression and getting high are not always at all related.
I'm not saying that some of them can't be used to treat anxiety and depression, but most of them also have their own unique dangers as well.
