[quote=Anonymous]SSRIs were lifesavers for me when I was in the depths of postpartum depression and PTSD from a traumatic childbirth. But after awhile, I don't think they helped much and had a lot of bad side effects. Once I was able to make lifestyle changes (like getting more sleep and more help with my kid) plus talk therapy, things got a lot better and I don't attribute that to the pills. I do think they can be crucial in a crisis, but in many situations they don't really solve anything. And the withdrawal coming off of them was really awful. I considered going on them during the depths of the pandemic lockdown, but realized that they weren't going to make covid go away. I had also read a study that exercise everyday is as effective as an SSRI at reducing depression and anxiety, so I resolved to get out and walk--six days a week for an hour. That was a real lifesaver, has no downsides, (and no profits for Big Pharma!). [/quote]
