I have family members who benefit immensely from anti depressants and I was very dubious until I took a thorough look at brain chemistry. I am still reluctant to put children on them but there is no doubt in my mind that it can help adults.
It can help and it can make it worse. The problem with them isn’t doing them but not doing them. Coming off these types of drugs can be worse than never taking them. And for some weird reason, people like to quit doing them.
