Why do soooo many people, so so many, men, women, children, need these medications. Are we all really this broken that we must rely on SSRIs and such in order to prevent us from all committing suicide? How pathetic is this? We must look at the bigger picture here as to why so many are dependent on these meds.[/quote]

Sure. And while you sort that out, let's critique doctors for saving lives, because -- apparently -- you don't care if they die while you protest the fact that they have access to medications to keep them alive.

How about you limit yourself to advocating for mental health specialist access without ALSO criticizing doctors for saving their patients' lives? [/quote]
Answer the question? Why do so many people need antidepressants? Could they be misdiagnosed or over medicated, yes of course. Especially when we have pcps and obgyns prescribing them.[/quote]

Why are they killing themselves?[/quote]
Yes, why are so many of us depressed enough to warrant taking an antidepressant? This is absurd, are we unable to learn healthy coping skills? We just give up and tell our physicians we want to die? Really?[/quote]

Yeah, I don't think you know the difference between "tell[ing] our physicians we want to di" and "committing suicide." Pro tip: the latter involves an actual dead body, by definition.[/quote]
So everyone on an antidepressant is potentially suicidal? Is that how obgyns determine when to prescribe antidepressants? Everyone I know is on an antidepressant, except me, and they were never suicidal.[/quote]

I've been depressed but was too embarrassed to ask for help. I wasn't suicidal mostly because I didn't want to do that to DH, DS, and my family. But there were days that I would have been ok if I got in a fatal car accident or simply didn't wake up.  Depression is a beast. It can make you feel like you can't function, that you're worthless, etc. And for many people, depression is a chemical imbalance, not just not being able to cope. And that's always existed people just didnt talk about it.

I do get your point. And I do think that there are problems in society that are leading towards spikes in depression and anxiety. But I dont know if you realize how dismissive and insensitive you are being.  And you may not be on antidepressants, but you certainly don't seem like a good person. [/quote]
I understand how people can become depressed and anxious, but once prescribed these meds people generally never come off of them. This seems like a racket to me. And why is it that every other person I know takes a psych med? Something is very wrong with this. I have become jaded and hardened perhaps, I have highly functioning autistic family members who can’t be ‘fixed’ and there is no help for them, it’s who they are. It’s my job in life to give them life experiences and tools to cope. There is very little help for high functioning autistic people. It’s hard, very hard, I think of other people complaining and crying about their cushy lives and how they need their zoloft. It’s just unreal, they just seem so weak and have such a victim mentality.[/quote]
