    RFK is one of those assholes who was depressed, changed his diet and worked out, and that was enough. And he thinks that solution works for everyone. And now he has power.

    Fuck anyone that takes my SSRIs away from me. That would actually make me leave the country.

      Being rich also doesn’t hurt

      The only thing that worked out for him was being rich. Everything else is just an excuse/wishful thinking at best and a lie to be used to manipulate others at worst.

        This is a very valid point.

        Eating healthy, exercising regularly, time to relax and meditate etc. are luxuries not easily available to the poor. But a $1 pill is.

      I hate to say it, but you probably can’t. People with diagnosed mental illnesses are often banned by other countries from immigrating.

        Is that really true?

        It’s pretty tough to migrate to Australia for example and I don’t think this is really a relevant question.

          You have to be mad to want to live somewhere where everything is trying to kill you.

            That’s just a dumb meme, nothing has been successfully able to kill me yet.

            In all seriousness though, Australia is a popular destination for migrants.

              It was a jokey comment. I steered away from mad max and insulting actual Australians.

      Can’t say about enough, but for me too antidepressants were not very effective (and also with some emotional downsides, I eagerly believe stats about ADs and suicide rates), and physical exercise plus simpler and healthier food (basically minimize sugar) did help me more. However, there might be a reversal here - maybe changes in weather and life events caused slight improvement in my mood first, and then came exercise and healthier food.

      In any case this is considered very light depression.

        Suppose depression and anxiety can take a variety of different forms, arise from a variety of different causes, manifest in a variety of ways, and respond differently to a variety of treatments.

        In your case your particular malady didn’t respond to medication but did respond to other treatments.

        It sounds like you can readily acknowledge that not everyone is experiencing the same illness and that often diet / exercise / lifestyle just isn’t relevant.

        The problem @[email protected] is referring to is when people who successfully treat their illness with diet and exercise assume that everyone elses illness will respond in the same way.

        there is another solution

        What’s your solution to being suicidal even after trying all of the non-pharma solutions for decades?

          Walk on water, water into wine, so obvious water into blood. We need to extract the brain worm with an industrial waterjet cutter! Blessed by a native natural shaman of course to ward off the scientist’s curse.

        When the options are “I don’t get the drugs that will stop me from killing myself” or “find a country that will give them to me,” I think there’s a pretty clear choice.

          Are those the only two options? What if you did your ancestors proud and dumped tea in the harbor. I mean if you save your country you violate no law. Not a very creative problem solver, unusual for a squid.

            Yes, if you will commit suicide if you don’t have the drugs you need, those are your only options if you want to stay alive.

            Are you one of those “smile more” people?

            Also, maybe don’t do your racist ancestors who tried to blame their protest on indigenous Americans proud? What with that being super fucking racist? You do know that’s what happened, right? They dressed up like indigenous people and then dumped the tea in the harbor.
