re: Scientists find no evidence of depression being caused by "chemical imbalances" in brain

The problem is once people get on them, they don't want to admit it wasn't good. And they want to feel like they made the right decision. It becomes cult like similar to covid.

There's no doubt that Americans are overmedicated. There are many physicians that are little more than drug dealers. There's too much incentive to diagnose everyone with "something."

Kid has trouble paying attention in class? ADHD. Kid sad? Depressed.

FFS: Humans never evolved to sit in a building isolated from nature. Then, go home and stare at screens and eat junk food. It's no wonder they have short attention spans and they're depressed. They're full of frustration and no way to express it in a natural manner without parents and teachers thinking there's something wrong with them.

Then, these responsible adults slap labels on them and sit them in front of a bunch of greedy arse drug dealers looking to get the kid in and out as quickly as possible so they can see another "patient."

The system is all messed up. Let kids be kids. Let them play. Encourage them to get outside and ride a bike. Build a fort. Climb some trees. Get some scrapes. They'll be better for it.
