Well Zoloft makes me last an insane amount of time before I, you know, so I’m sticking to it.

Why are you bragging about your dick not working?

Why don't you spend some time on non-compliant patients? 90% of the people that end up on my wife's table have been told for years, often decades to:
lose weight
modify their diet
moderate their alcohol intake
quit smoking
quit doing drugs
exercise
The vast majority of them don't comply and the docs end up writing scripts to try to control the things the patient will not control themselves. Then after a few more years, they end up in the cath lab or surgical suite. What's even worse is when the docs get their plumbing and pump all patched up they ignore their instructions and most become frequent fliers.

SSRIs cause a huge percentage of people to not be able to have an orgasm at all. If that's not depressing, I don't know what it is. The incidence of sexual side effects with some of the SSRIs are up to ~ 80% of the people who take them.
I always include that awkward but important point when counseling patients who have never taken SSRI before. It is something that the prescribers are often not talking to people about before starting the medications.

They can say whatever they like.....I'm on wellbutrin and aripiprazole and it's done wonders for my mood. I missed a month of work because I couldn't get out of bed, couldn't sleep wouldn't eat. Sertraline had some serious side effects and they put me on the above mentioned and it's been a Godsend. So I don't really give a frick what some academic says, I know firsthand the kind of difference in mental outlook meds can make.

We should let natural selection do its work with these idiots

What are your diet and exercise regiments? Do you get sunlight daily? Do you practice gratitude? Do you have good sleep hygiene?
Or do you just want to rely on pills that may or may not work for the rest of your life?

So why are they coming to the doctor?
Why should I have to explain that to a CMO that has somehow been able to get STATES to board certify him when every other doctor has had to be board certified by private national entities?
They come to the doctor because they can't walk due to vascular disease or they are an inch from death because they need a quadruple CABG or any number of often self-inflicted harm. It is just like people who have driven the last 2,000 miles with a low oil light and have to have their car towed to the shop because one of their main bearings finally gave up the ghost.
Doctors damn sure aren't perfect but a lot of people treat their bodies like they can just order another one on Amazon. The majority of people treat their bodies like shite then complain when the mechanic can't wave a wand and send them back out feeling like they are 18 again.
Mingo said something in the past that resonated with me, people have felt like shite so long they forgot what it feels like to not feel bad.

They're just questions. Do you exercise and eat right? Do you get proper levels of Vitamins D and C? Are you sleeping adequately? All of these are pillars of health so I don't know how you can expect to be healthy if you aren't taking care of the most fundamental aspects of your life.

In the USA a BMI of over 25 and under 30 is healthy to so many people. It is insane. And doctor's won't even consider that is an issue.

The amount of people on all this medicine is depressing.
There are no negative effects to these pills.
Yea, they turn off parts of the brain, but there is NO way they could turn off the part of the brain that would cause teenagers to behave with no mercy or remorse in school shootings.

This article in no way says depression isn’t caused by an actual medical or brain chemistry issue. It only talks about one chemical and it doesn’t even rule it out just says the evidence at this point isn’t overwhelming. We understand very, very little about the human brain at this point. And if you think depression is simply people being sad and emotional then you aren’t to be taken seriously, you’re a child. Now medications are absolutely over prescribed and abused as a crutch. That goes for all mental health issues and related medications.

I’ve been on multiple SSRI’s since my twenties. I can say with conviction that their effect on my depression has been minimal to none. Over time I’ve learned many coping techniques that have allowed me to function mostly normally.

There is a big difference between people with severe depression or other mental health issues and people experiencing mild to moderate mood issues. There are a lot of people who have probably a 90%+ chance of hurting themselves or others without medication. Then there is the latter who probably don’t need medication at all. The issue isn’t that medications aren’t needed it’s that we are giving them to way too many people.
