The psychiatric industry is no differ from a coven of witch doctors. They claim to treat something that is immaterial, that does not respond to material “remedies.”

It is a huge scam, and it is completely leftist.

Psych med$ evolve so rapidly (thank you, big Pharma! /s) that Psychiatrists basically need to relearn their profession every six months.

People think life is supposed to be a cake walk... down the old primrose path.

The ironic thing is, people actually DO have it fairly easy.
Survivors of the depression, and/or the world wars, actually know when they have it good.

For the rest of us, we whine and moan when something doesn’t come easy, or we are under a little bit of pressure.
Not REAL pressure, just the perceived variety.

So people spend a lot of money going to people who can write prescriptions. They’re pusher pimps. They aren’t idiots. They know why people are really there. To numb them down.
Calgon take me away!!!

People need to suck it up and embrace the troughs.

Very true, if your wife needs anti-depressants, then time for a new wife.

After some devastating losses in my life, I became depressed, crippled with obsessive doom fears.

I tried prayer, counseling religious and psychological, prayer groups, support groups online and in person, exercise, diet, prayer, always prayer.

At last I tried anti-depressants. The first one had an instant bad effect on me. Intense fear for several hours, diarrhea like water. At least I knew it was the pill and I could wait it out.

The next one slowly slowly took effect. After a month or so, I was myself again. Not different, not leaving my family or empathy or beliefs, just able to live without obsessive fear and grief.

The experience with the Covid vaccine with regular doctors is the same, Once they all joined systems, it is push for the drugs. Every time I visit they ask if I’m depressed.
