I know what it is trying to say. There will, of course, be many people who would oppose that sort of thinking, but I cannot because all I have seen is the destructive effects of taking psychiatric medications long term.
They dammaged my health, my cognition, etc. I have many aunts and uncles who have dealth with derepression, some have medication others have not. The ones who did not medicated got better, and the difference is like night and day. No weight gain, no cognative impariment, no movement problems, no thyroid stuff, the list goes on.
I'd like to say I know people who take these drugs and then their lives get better from that point on, but I *honestly* just don't know any.
I also urge people to follow others long term. What I mean is this. Sure you'll hear of so-and-so who feels great on such-and-such, but follow them long term. My mother would praise the drugs for one period in her life, but they took their toll. Very slowly.
