You are neither 'jmhain nor their doctor — nor, as far as I can tell from a quick perusal of your comment history, a medical professional of any kind — and as such it is egregiously irresponsible of you to be offering medical advice, however well-intentioned or well-researched you may think it is.

I have some pretty strongly negative feelings about the way (most) mental illness is treated in modern Western society — not least the radical over-use of SSRIs — but the way to address that does not begin with, or even involve, telling someone who reports unambiguous benefit from the use of antidepressants how wrong they were, how they were a pawn of the Pharma-Industrial Complex, or anything else other than, "I'm glad that's helping."

telling someone who reports unambiguous benefit from the use of antidepressants...

Given that he also said he was unable to go off them without "losing a year of his life", it sounds like the benefit was hardly unambiguous.

... how they were a pawn of the Pharma-Industrial Complex,

I'd address some of the other points you're trying to make, but you know very well that I said no such thing, so why should I bother?
