look this is a genuine post so im not going to be a dick about it but the entire rhetorical premise of just shrugging something like that off is legitimate insanity. "most people who take this drug improve in a clinical environment but a small minority may deteriorate or become psychotic" is not something that justifies the response of mildly shrugging at such a dichotomy. that's some deep, fucked up, kafkaesque choice given to people that are likely on the precipice of a mental health crisis.I can attest to that with SSRIs, they can make some people seriously go worse than the reasons they were on them in the first place, but for a lot of people, they literally save lives… it’s a crapshoot though, and even different types of SSRIs can have wildly varied results![]()
i have no issues with the drug itself because it clearly works to a significant enough portion of the population it is being administered to - but pretending that the side effects of SSRIs are something that deserves the levity of a mild shrug is one of the greatest horrors of the modern medical apparatus. i say that with personal experience - these drugs cause greater phychological dependance than benzodiazepines and a risk of suicide statistically significant enough to warrant the doctor giving you a special pamphlet and they hand it out like allergy medicine
