I admit that they are essential in some severe cases of depression, but I continue to emphasize that they should otherwise be rarely used. Even exercise alone has been shown to be more effective than antidepressants, yet they are prescribed like candy; everyone simply believes they are doing what they should. Knowing the side effects and adverse reactions experienced by a large number of antidepressant users, I believe they should severely limit prescriptions of these drugs. On top of that, doctors and the pharmaceutical industry profit greatly from antidepressants and I see little upside to continuing to support them through the massive consumption of these fake drugs.
