@Deleted User @Deleted User there is a reason white teenagers in America are put on SSRI's that lower your sex drive and birth control pills when they are 12

get in vc if you want it

<:screamwoj:439954128173793290>

Well. Before 16 they have to ask their parents for birth control.

You can walk into most pharmacies in America and ask for birth control and they have to give it to you regardless of age

by law

it's different from state to state but that's how it works here

There are very few states that don’t require a prescription for birth control. You have to be 18+ to buy plan b too

(I’m a pharmacist in GA)

Regardless it’s semantics. I get what you’re saying and I agree with you

male abortions

how soon until they lobby for male abortins

@Deleted User they are sterilizing the population

That they are. In multiple ways

>implying

@Deleted User Why are SSRI drugs prescribed so often when no solid evidence of them working has ever come out?

There is evidence they work

^

they are a treatment and not a cure, however

which unfortunately is a misconception the media will never try to dispel

@Toast @Deleted User most of the studies that are done on these drugs are funded by the people making the drugs

That’s exactly true toast. All of that is simply meant to be a tool to get you through to where you’re not depressed anymore they were never meant to be sending that you’re on for life only temporary

That’s true of all medicine and most medical studies

@RustyShackleford and there are studies that arent, that are peer reviewed by groups not involved with these corporations. you can also interact with a real live person on ssris to know that they work to quell badfeel but they dont bring about much actual help towards resolving depression

ssris are best for getting depressed people off their asses

Toast once again is correct

the reason why a lot of studies are done on certain drugs by the companies with stake in them is because they have to do these studies to know the long term effects and whether they should be released to the public

well, in this case, short term effects

we dont really know about ssris yet

(i think, im no expert)

That is true

Nah I mean I've met people who benefited from SSRI's

the overprescribing

to people who aren't depressed

i agree that that is a travesty

I was put on Zoloft when I was 11-12 and I had an anxiety disorder not depression

it did nothing

just made me lose my sex drive

So I stopped taking them

i have had the choice between taking ssris and not and thankfully i chose not to, but i have a close friend who was made infertile by his antidepressants (which he eventually stopped taking because theyd no longer do anything and he became addicted)
