Comment on If I took antidepressants for my Weltschmerz (world-weariness)... would I become a worse artist?

Sorry, for your challenge, I hope real science, not pharmaceuticals, find the answer for you & all others challenges that do not help, their are ones like my own I would never want cured.
I am no way a expert doctor in this field & doubt you will find one hear, you should find one IRW. With that being said, I do not trust hugely profitable pharmaceuticals industries “solutions”. Especially in The USA, & even more so now. Side effects are often less bad then the challenge, even if it is not they can horrible & still not worth it. I watched a ‘Free Speech’ show called ‘Rising Up with Sonali’ episode where a person suffering from serve depression was having bad trouble with pharmaceutical solutions, so he dived into research & found pharmaceutical solutions do not work at for depression & advised against it. I hear LSD & such illegal in The USA drugs, works because they rewire the brain, as you safely, under supervision of a foreign countries’ experts, go through the experience, after take the drugs, that are legally available for such practices in countries extremely close to us. Plus, they have no side effects, I too would not take such pharmaceuticals, because yes more problems are created/side effects are added to the challenges, in most cases do not even solve the challenges. Oh yeah pharmaceuticals are a lot more expensive & take longer, if they are going to work at all. Plus there are none drugs & pharmaceuticals solutions you could research, talk to a expert & try.

It’s different for everyone. You shouldn’t be afraid to try pharmaceuticals, but also know they may not work and may have side effects. Personally, I found SSRI’s to work for my depression and I know other people that they didn’t help. Also, my prescription is $1 for a month supply, so not necessarily expensive either - it depends on the drug and where you live. You should talk to a doctor to be sure.

You sound like one their commercials, may have side effects, seriously!

I personally didn’t experience any, but I know others that have. I’m just trying to be responsible when advocating for people being open minded about mental health treatment. Would you rather that I lie and say there are no side effects?
I don’t trust doctors either, but they do know more about medicine and health than most people on earth, so they can still be a useful resource.

I hear, but lets us be real wedo not know of any pharmaceutical that does not have side effects, & those advising have horrible side effects, many times worse than what people are suffering from.
Biggest possible asterisk possible in this Capitalist World is when these doctors are taking stuff (like money, luxurious trips with pharmaceutical corporations employees) from pharmaceutical industry or actually own pharmaceutical coorporations, if not then they are trustworthy. Then question because how the heck do you know either way? Gov.? Pharmaceutical industry is one the biggest lobbyist.
