Serotonin makes you happy>blocking reuptake means more serotonin in the synapse>more serotonin makes you more happy, golly this is hard to understand.

I know you're probably not serious but the amount of bull that's spread about them is ridiculous. Like a hell of a lot of people claim that SSRIs are "about restoring to balance the amount of seratonin in your brain because seratonin is the chemical that makes you happy." Which is not true at all. There's at least 2 chemicals associated with happiness for a start, and exactly what seratonin does is not at all simple and probably not entirely understood either. I know it's involved in both autism and OCD for instance.

I dunno why people have such a problem with people who take meds anyway. I do have a good handful of friends who take meds for whatever reason, and I sure as prefer them medicated than as the total ups they are without them. Lolololol. |
Whenever I've had friends on SSRIs it's screwed with them socially. I don't really like it when they're on them. That said, depends on the drug and the person etc.

What's serontonin? [/jackass]
Never been on SSRIs, but I did stupidly eat a whole bunch of SNRIs that some quack psych prescribed to me. ing monkey drugs.
Also, my jackass GP prescribed, when I first complained about interrupted sleep, first some lame-ass allergy medication which did nothing, then he gave me some really awful first-generation anti-psychotics that I found out were banned in the US in like 83 or something.
I am so gonna start using crystals and from now on lol. |
I don't really know much about the differences, but suffice to say I know a friend who takes SNRIs regularly and the effects are totally different to SSRIs.

Fixed it for you
Overall though, I think people may as well take whatever makes their life better. With that said however, the amount of commercial interests and stupid cultural norms around is staggering. There are plenty of parents whose reaction to a child getting diagnosed with depression is to think that them taking anti depressants is the only solution and will get angry with the child if they stop taking them etc. There's also the sheer corruption of clinical trials where only trials that show what drug companies want are published. |

I should've said I'm discounting people with diagnoses such as OCD, ADD, etc. I don't understand what's so funny about the statement. Care to explain? |

| It's an inane statement because it's a sweeping generalization about how medication should be prescribed, and plz define "harm". |

I just made it specific by saying I'm discounting disorders such as OCD, ADD, etc. I didn't write harm, I wrote threat. You seem to be confused by the simple statement, as there's no "sweeping generalization" about it at all. Read the statement again, and take it literally. |

It's a statement made by someone whose only idea of depression is probably feeling sad one day.

It's a statement made by someone who's Bipolar. And I know people who have been depressed and got out of it by hard work and perseverance, - without meds - even if it took a few years. When one is severely depressed and contemplating suicide, he becomes a threat to himself, and should thus be placed on meds. Could I make the statement any clearer? |

How so, buddy? Try corroborating your statement before you spout stupid . What are you, 17? |

| I don't need to corroborate anything, you've already done all the work just by posting. ;) |

"Threat" then, whatever. Define it.
