    but there are also people who are chemically depressed and are being served by the chemical treatment model

    I highlighted this group at the top of this thread. My beef is with dismissive doctors, not their chemically imbalanced patients.

      your contributions are irrelevant to the topic, and also super shitty to bring up around a lot of people that’re scared for the mental health of their families. “your beef” isn’t worth sniffing, so please take it elsewhere. you should be able to tell from ratios alone that your comments are unwelcome, shameless, and tactless.

        Lazy doctors pushing big pharma sponsored pills is right on topic. It doesn’t apply to everyone, but it applies to a large number of people.

        11% of Americans over the age of 12 take an antidepressant.

        This is a problem that shouldn’t be ignored even if it is being raised by a right wing, brain worm eaten anti vaxxer.

          So, do you think it might be related to how the US isnuniquely the only industrialized nation with no universal health care, minimal (if any) social safety nets, a shit economy that only benefits the upper 1%, and the very obvious fascist heading our country is on?

          the reason you’re in this thread is because

          YOU FEEL UNSEEN BY YOUR DOCTORS BECAUSE THEY DISMISS YOUR PAIN

          that’s not related whatsoever, i’m sorry, i used to be in your position, i hope you get a real diagnosis for what’s wrong (mine was hEDS) because most doctors say it’s fibromyalgia when they don’t know and they’ve given up… that’s for-profit medicine for you… but, as i’ve covered elsewhere

          people take anti-depressants for several problems, including fibromyalgia

          SO MAYBE you should take a step back and chill

            Unfortunately it is related.

            I hear a lot of anger and fear from people about their medication. And everyone believes their case is justified.

            1. Antidepressants are too readily prescribed.

            2. The US is the world leader.

            These two facts are relevant and not about me personally. They can’t be simply dismissed.
