    You realize you’re doing the “lazy doctor” routine right now, right?

    You already decided on an answer and when confronted with a discrepancy, you decided that your understanding is correct and this specific situation is the outlier.

    That’s the exact same thought process you’re complaining about.

      Not really.

      I’m diagnosing a problem but my solution is to investigate more, not to sweep unknowns under the antidepressant carpet.

        You aren’t a doctor. Stop acting like one, and stop assuming you know all doctor’s motives. SSRIs are an important tool and make many peoples lives tolerable. No one’s making you or anyone take anything.

          I’m not seeing patients or providing medical advice. Typing on lemmy is nothing like acting like a doctor.

          SSRIs are an important tool and make many peoples lives tolerable.

          Agreed.

          Also prozac and other drugs are prescribed for “stress related” symptoms when doctors can’t find the root cause and when patients demand a pharmaceutical solution.

        Were you clearly diagnosed with clinical depression?

        Lmfao, such detective work.
