I think SSRIs are in the range of totally worthless to causing way more problems than they're suppose to solve. They should have fallen out of use decades ago.

At the same time, one of my best friends needs an anti-psychotic. One pill allows him to keep a job, keep his friends, be a functional member of society and not have the sheriff called on him. He was off his meds for a few months and it was not a fun time. He fully apologized to everyone; defending nothing of what he did. He remembered doing all of it and felt terrible for being off his gourd.

So yea, I agree. Throwing everything out can be a disaster. We don't have any real informed choice or consent for what does work, why it works and what doesn't.
