Thing is, modern women often do this without any pharmaceutical help these days...

Yup—Psychiatry used to be stupid but relatively harmless.

Now they are insane and dangerous.

Paging RFKjr. Please pick up the red courtesy phone. You need to hear this.

Entitlement mentality has poisoned out thoughts. We’re force fed it through advertising, school, media, friends, families,
big pharma which tells us a pill can correct all things wrong in our lives and make us *feel better*, encouraged by having a lifestyle that serves us and makes life very easy and comfortable, and sadly, even preaching.

We’re taught it, cradle to grave and it’s EXPECTED these days.

Nobody is taught to be grateful, thankful, how to deal with adversity and even hardship.

Throw out your SSRI’s and take psilocybin mushrooms instead.

Dangerous advice. They should NEVER stop being used suddenly.

Psychoactive drugs need to have a long wean off period and even after stopping them (if you can and some people apparently can't) you can have withdrawals.

here’s what makes MY blood boil: Authors who don’t identify an acronym — especially at the beginning.

Wouldn't have done you much good without an explanation. Here's a Wikipedia page:

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor

Formula and Marketing names:
Citalopram (Celexa)
Escitalopram (Lexapro)
Fluoxetine (Prozac)
Fluvoxamine (Luvox)
Paroxetine (Paxil)
Sertraline (Zoloft)

While many men will give up their families for happiness (they think) in having affairs.

Thank you.

Gabriel is genius. Saw him live when he was still with Genesis in the 70s and was totally blown away. What I wouldn't have given to see the Secret World Live tour.

I think he’s a talented carpetbagger.

I heard an interesting theory from an evolutionary biologist that raising serotonin levels is a process our body uses in order to numb the effect of traumatic events and allow us to move forward.

For example, if you are an ancient hunter-gatherer and most of your clan is wiped out by an attack from a pride of lions, your body will produce higher serotonin levels in order to numb your grief and allow you to turn to the tasks at hand necessary for you to survive.

On this theory, SSRIs are creating an army of emotional zombies.

How so?

From the phallic to the core of human weakness, this is where his money is. Is just my opinion, which has nothing to do with that artistic packaging.

I have no idea what you mean.

So?

I posted the words of the song in reference to the article.
