Anti depressants influence on society?

[PurpleTree]

How big is the influence of anti depressants (mostly ssri’s) on society you think?

"Eleven percent of Americans aged 12 years and over take antidepressant medication. Females are more likely to take antidepressants than are males, and non-Hispanic white persons are more likely to take antidepressants than are non-Hispanic black and Mexican-American persons."

I was on ssri’s because of anxiety sometime for six months. Stopped it because of the side effects. It did blunt me emotionally and made me less giving an f. I stopped them because i was doing my drivers license back then and thought i could just cause an accident with dead people without giving an f. So it does make people more unhinged imo. And does change people.

Many more people suffer from withdrawal symptoms for years disguised as their "organic conditions".

If you want to understand why women during follicular phase, some homosexual guys, and leftists after trump election are so boring and disdainful, take something that increase serotonin.

SSRIs, 5HT2A agonists, oestrogenic compounds (e2, testosterone without anti aromatase, zuclomiphene…)

Cyproheptadine (5ht antagonist) turns you into the most phlegmatic guy on the world. 🤔

I don’t know i felt intense anger at times also sometimes on ssri. And probably many shooters (school etc) are on an antidepressant.
