Comment on If I took antidepressants for my Weltschmerz (world-weariness)... would I become a worse artist?
GreatWhite_Shark_EarthAndBeingsRightsPerson@piefed.social 12 hours agoI 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.

I am being real. Sometimes the side effects are bad. If they are, then don’t take the drug. This isn’t as complicated as you are making it. Like doctors might be paid off to push a drug, but if they’re prescribing generics, then that’s probably not the case. Just have to use common sense when listening to doctors . You can’t take everything they say at face value, but that doesn’t mean doctors are useless.
