I’ve always been saying this: SSRIs are effective only for OCD, and the one-third of patients who show significant improvement with SSRIs actually just had some minor OCD to begin with.

Why do we tolerate mentally ill people who refuse to let themselves get diagnosed? Why do we let them dismantle the health care system so they can make sure nobody is competent in diagnosing them?

If people, especially adults, want to be compliant sheep let them take ssris. The real problem is prescribing little Jimmy legal speed so he can get his test scores up. And every over protective mother now has all her children diagnosed retarded taking legal speed because little Timmy's mom did and Jimmy needs to compete. The only way to shut down the overdiagnoses arms race is government intervention and also lets stop giving retards extra test time now that affirmative action is dead.

I try not to interact with psued /pol/ threads, but I will briefly entertain this one. The reason why some studies say that SSRIs are ineffective is for a few reasons. The main one being that they tend to measure the patient after just two months. After two months, the patient (assuming they are taking their meds every day) is finally reaching a therapeuic level of the LOWEST dose of SSRI that they are on. Almost all SSRIs have 4 dose levels. Lexapro is 5mg (up to 20mg), Prozac is 20mg (up to 80), Zoloft is 50mg (up to 200mg), and so on. The lowest dose isn't going to work for most people with severe depression/anxiety/ptsd/ocd, etc. They should be looking at the patient one year of being on an SSRI, after the shrink has adjusted the dosage properly. Another reason why these studies are bullcrap is that a depressed person typically does not initially notice when they are getting better, only people around them start to notice the difference, especially after only two months on the lowest dose. It takes a while to realize you are not depressed anymore. Here are some studies that prove the efficacy of SSRIs for different psych disorders.SSRIs help with panic attacks.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0165178124002026SSRIs help with PTSD.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35234292/SSRIs help with depression just as much as triciclics, with less side effects and better tolerability:

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/da.22854Lastly, why do you think that SSRIs help with OCD? OCD is basically just an extreme version of anxiety. If your depression or anxiety is circumstancial, then maybe SSRIs won't help. Otherwise, stop bringing your politics into medicine please.

>effective only for OCD
They work on anxious people in general. They initially overstimulate and then the nervous system adjusts to stop sending such intense signals anymore.

Threadly reminder that there is zero compelling evidence of SSRIs working, that's why the pharma shills have to stick to derailing the thread and talking about schizophrenia etc.It's obvious that leftists are taking themselves off their anti-psychotics.

These clowns need to be put in prison.
Drumpf goes to the podium to speak so officially about the "dangers of acetaminophen" and he can't even pronounce the word.Who the fuck doesn't know how to pronounce acetaminophen?
He couldn't even read it from the script card. It's like it was the first time he'd even heard of the word.
Yet he was assuming the authority and responsibility to tell people not to use it
Wtf these are the people in control.
We are so fucked
