Go ahead and take mine away. See what happens. I dare you.

Were you clearly diagnosed with clinical depression?

Or did your doctor not know what was wrong, said it was stress related and gave you pills to go away?

Oh yeah definitely. I always knew I had it, I’ve had it my whole life. You try being a suicidal 7-year-old and see how well you like it. I didn’t start getting better until my 30s.

You have my sympathy.

But I’m sure many lemmings reading this recognize the second “lazy doctor” scenario.

Where did you get your medical degree from again?

Anxiety symptoms overlap with those of other medical issues, which makes it easy for both patients and clinicians to mistake a physical condition for one related to mental health

The down votes are from people who were diagnosed with “stress” and are now addicted to anti depressants.

You have no place diagnosing people with no proven experience in the field of psychiatry, or pharmacology.

So stop parroting RFK talking points.

OK, I have no idea about the medical history of whoever is down voting. But it’s clear from the numbers that people are scared of their pills being taken away.

The only time I’ve had a similar reaction was when I suggested coffee should be banned. (It’s bad for the environment, more physically addictive than heroin and makes everyone’s breath smell terribly)
