Public Service Announcement: The evidence base for "antidepressants" is terrible. In a fair and just world they would have never been approved. It's a scam Happy Wednesday

When someone declares they "have ADHD" or "Major Depressive Disorder," it's an idea constructed around their struggles rather than offering a meaningful understanding of the underlying reasons for their challenges. While these diagnostic labels may serve as somewhat useful heuristics to broadly categorize a state of "being," their oversimplification and potential misinterpretation of complex human experiences are causing lasting harm. This oversimplification is pushing individuals into the assumption that they possess a permanent medical condition necessitating medication—a drug that, more often than not, exacerbates their condition and negatively impacts their lives.

We are experiencing a pathologized generation. Told distraction & boredom is ADHD, Sadness is Depression, feeling good is mania, worry/fear is an anxiety disorder. Decease stigma means take these drugs. Completely lost site of what it means to be human.

Psychiatry should be more concerned with the gut than the brain.
