OK, what's the alternative that has supportive clinic data? Will my job tolerate me stopping SSRI, then calling out of work 3 or 4 times a week because I'd rather think about killing myself and others, can't sleep because of anxiety, or can't drive because I have panic attacks? Because that was my life before SSRI, when I was still young enough to lean on family while figuring out medication. My family is old now and cannot support another adult with untreated mental illness, they've got 2 already who don't work and won't take meds to treat their shit.

My guess is that the Nazis put your mental healthcare challenges on you and figure if you cannot function you're not one they plan on enslaving.

Fuck these Nazis

The Nazis forget that the meds suppress destructive impulses like setting fires, buying guns, and biting pieces off people trying to hold me down. I've already had my time in solitary lockdown at 13, adult me is far less compliant.

It doesn’t concern them because historically, people shoot up schools and not the homes of politicians

More people for his "wellness camps."

Vibes based medical practice. In any case its not surprising a bunch of fascists would reject medical science and install a stooge.

Don’t all the dystopian novels have us on some type of heroin to survive? That’s what I’m waiting on now.

According to the latest Last Week Tonight you can just speedball boner pills for the same effect

Is it to start fixing the world and the politics here so people don't need as many? To fix the healthcare industry, give a helping hand, and give people hope? I think that would probably lower some need for anti-depressents
