Working is overrated and may be part of the problem of having depression in the first place. Maybe we are solving the wrong problem after all. Depression is a signal, it’s evolution whispering that life sucks in some major way. Throwing SSRI at problem silences this voice. But maybe it does and psychodelics fix that, instead of suppressing alerts indefinitely.

Not just overrated, but most likely the core of the problem. It displaces so much and returns so little.
