Yes, and to be fair there will be some people who respond really well to SSRIs & some people who really need them. My main concern is that a lot of people rush to them as the 1st option & in my experience most physicians do NOT openly & honestly discuss the risks vs benefits of treatment. In fact, I’ve worked with quite a few doctors who outright mis-characterize the drugs they’ve prescribed as incapable of causing harm.
