You are advocating throwing money into a system that does not work.
My new ignorant nigger friend, did you actually request a citation you didn't bother to read?
The article specifically is about anti-depressants. Major Tranquilizers, anti-psychotics sure as shit do something. Benzos, amphetamines.... Lots of stuff does stuff -- but does it help?
Takes time to build up is only a saying people use with anti-depressants. That's a red flag.
But overall the efficacy of mental health treatment is in the shitter and I don't think it's cause nobody ever thought to go to counseling to talk about their feelings.
Sorry, but Usenet quoting is far less time consuming.
>You are advocating throwing money into a system that does not work.
I'm literally advocating for a complete restrucring of American healthcare. The system that exists today would no longer exist. The inherent issues that come with privatized healthcare (including the greedy companies behind the pharmaceuticals you're concerned about) would leave with it.
>My new ignorant nigger friend, did you actually request a citation you didn't bother to read?
I don't think you read the article or understood my point. Remember how you said "therapy+meds is as effective as acupuncture"? Yeah, how about actually providing evidence for that, therapy included. The article is about poor research methods that lead to dubious overall efficacy. It doesn't claim that SSRIs are just totally ineffective. Which, again, I think SSRIs are not the answer the vast majority of the time, but to dismiss them entirely is retarded.
>Takes time to build up is only a saying people use with anti-depressants.
The fuck? This applies to so much more than anti-depressants. ADHD meds, antischizo meds, antipsychotic meds: these all require you to take them for a while and take them consistently to do much of anything. Unless by "anti-depressants" you mean "psychiatric drugs in general"? Say what you mean, nigger.
>But overall the efficacy of mental health treatment is in the shitter
Because it barely exists, and most people who need it don't have access to it. Access, of course, meaning more than just "bro there's a clinic in your town".
>I don't think it's cause nobody ever thought to go to counseling to talk about their feelings.
You evidently have no idea what counseling or therapy even is. Look up "cognitive behavioral therapy" and "dialectical behavior therapy".
