After one meeting with her doctor, they gave my daughter antidepressants a the class of drug that’s meant to be taken for life. She was just an angsty teenager during covid.

She didn’t take them, shes fine, but yall are the devil frfr

Admit this: if you go to a doctor and say anything about the inside of your head that makes them uncomfortable you’re getting a chemical lobotomy immediately

It's significantly better now, because your daughter didn't get a real lobotomy. Which was the expected treatment for a young woman who misbehaves.

It's not typical to get antidepressants after a single meeting with a general practitioner. In fact, I don't even know if that can happen.

That being said, depression is real, and it does take lives. I've known many people who have successfully survived depression via SSRI's and no longer take them. That's the flip side you're not seeing. I've also seen unmedicated people take their lives.

-Appeal to worse problems

-Gaslight and hand wave

-Slippery slope

I do agree that women are disproportionately affected by the over prescription

I would argue that you're doing the same thing. You're hand waving and gaslighting people who were/are helped by SSRIs. You're appealing to a worst-case scenario, where someone who does not have depression is immediately prescribed medication (incredibly rare, in fact not sure if this can happen). And you're claiming a slippery slope by extrapolating this to other mental health issues and psychiatry as a whole.
