I mean, people getting rid of the stereotypical shame of antidepressants is a very good thing…
Not just for them, all of society benefits when they take their medication. And “influencers” being open about it helps their listeners take it if they need it to.
Like, even if you think “influencers” and their listeners are “crazy”, them taking prescribed antidepressants is a good thing.
Complaining about this gives the same vibes as republicans complaining about kids being treated for autism. If there’s no treatment, it doesn’t mean they don’t need it, it’s just hiding the problem.
I just don’t see how any of this is dystopian, but the article was paywalled. So maybe it got to that part later.
Bypass paywalls clean still works great. You just have to install an older version of Firefox first to install it and then upgrade because newer versions block the install process.
I will say it would be interesting to view the study they’re basing their “only 15% of people taking antidepressants actually benefit” stat from. It says the study looks at other studies from 1979-2016. In the last decade we have started using genetic testing with these drugs in order to better match people with the ones that will work for them. I’m not sure if using a study that stopped looking before we improved the process of matching a drug with the people it will work for is worth much more than a grain of salt.
