[quote=Anonymous][quote] [b]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.[/b] 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]

Around 50% of people who begin taking an antidepressant do not discontinue it [i]because it helps them[/i]. It improves their mental health, so why would they discontinue it?

It’s good for your family member that you recognize they struggle amidst their autism diagnosis. To dismiss the struggle of people with mental illness when you don’t actually know anything about it is sad. You’re not in their therapy or psychiatry appointments, so why do you feel entitled to judge their medical treatment?[/quote]
