While ignoring that they do have adverse reactions, especially in the long run, people who are on SSRIs often experience some form of pretty alarming side effects over the course of the years they are on them. Also, the whole situation with getting off of them being so hard and almost sure to cause severe side effects is a pretty huge thing that is often glossed over by the people peddling this shit.
Besides, it says, like multiple studies, butok, funded by who, and Im also guessing the majority are self reported experience of symptoms over a short time frame, when most peoples experience is initially positive then becomes either negative or just dependent with enough time, with people either reporting negative side effects, or noticing that the positive improvements have leveled off and now they need the drugs just to maintain.
Also, this is a graph showing, see look they work right? It’s not showing any scientific basis for why they do and just how they do and how we understand that entire process. We don't. The research for the scientific basis they are built on has since been undermined, namely, the serotonin deficiency hypothesis. No?
