SSRI's + Depression

Can anyone redpill me on SSRI's for treating depression?
Are they a good tool to treat those with a chemical imbalance, or are SSRI's an autism inducing, acidic, toxin to the brain and body chemistry?
Please respond with sources of info and any other advice to help treat depression.

Its all mindset. stop kidding yourself.

depression is a spiritual crisis.
the scam known as a chemical imbalance of the brain is admitted bullshit by the ASA.
if you cannot measure the neurotransmitters, you cannot make that determination scientifically. they merely create new diags/diseases by pulling lies out their ass to sell big pharma.
most of this witches brew of pharma has fluoride in it too. they will make you numb & fat. an added bonus is a black label warning of suicidal ideation.

Enjoy your useless, floppy dick.

SSRIs are trash. You'll be happier on psychadelics. Try a light 108ug of LSD. Just one changed my life.

It isn't a miracle cure. It can help manage some symptoms but it's likely to require real dedication to find a treatment that's right for (You).
Also stop going to Sup Forums, much less Sup Forums, for medical advice faggot.

i dont know shit about any of that but i saw the couch jew for a year then took zoloft for 90 days then called my shrink. talking to a stranger is better than my babby pills. i'm not on top of the world now, but i can hold a job. still lonely as fuck tho.

Man the fuck up and start living for something or kill yourself. Don't be a fag and sit on a fence post and waste all our money on pills.

>taking amytryptaline for pain
>suddenly all my dreams are lucid terrifying and vivid
>dreams im familiar with only amplfied by a thousand
>suddenly find myself not giving a shit about anything
>dont feel mad or angry about things id otherwise care about
>just apathy

its kinda painful but who am I? my urologist, specializes in psychiatric medications and their effect on the brain..oh wait.

I’ve been on trintellix for a few months now.

More energy. More willingness to do things. Dick works fine. No more existential crisis noments. Happier overall. More stable.

I do everything I can. For some reason I just cannot be happy, and I've been fired several times because I have no expression and have no emotion.

Shrooms dude. Psychology today had a report on them. So take some shrooms and use the next 6 months to make yourself into a better person. Then find a couple of non-trashy whores, eat some cabergoline and cialis, and fuck all weekend. Then go out on Monday and apply for better jobs while knowing you have a full blown hard on. Be confident in it. You'll get a better job, realize you can fuck and get a decent woman, and your depression will subside on its own.

There's no redpill here, those pills sometimes work and sometimes they make you more depressed.
They're not super effective, but some people literally need it.
SSRI's are useful to people who are at rock bottom or people who should be happy but are just depressed regardless.
If you are depressed but your life isn't in tip-top shape, you should probably work on fixing that first.

Is your diet good?
Are you getting enough sleep?
Are you getting enough exercise?
Are you socializing?
Is your work meeting your potential?

If you don't answer yes to all those questions, then I would certainly start there before I experiment with any pills.

Work out. Drink water. Eat clean.

Start with taking care of yourself/body

Don't know if you're being silly or not, but there's truth to what you said.
A few psychology studies have shown that one session of shrooms can heal depression for many months at a time.
It's pretty amazing.

> just find some whores bro, take some godly psychedelics
That's great advice, user. Great advice for Chad.
But what do you do if no woman has even let you practice conversation with them in 9 years and none of your "friends" even respond to a request for some weed?

How is your dick after the first fap?
When do you feel erections?
Can you readily have an erection for sex?

Friend of mine was on Zoloft since the age of 12 for “OCD”.

He grew up like a eunuch basically. Lost his virginity at 24 and not because he had any drive to — but because he was sick of being bullied about being a KHV —, and has slept with maybe 5 women between 24-27, mostly during periods of time when he was taking benzodiazepines instead. But he has no male characteristics at all, apart from superficially. No sex drive, no male interests, looks like a soyboy, has a Nintendo Switch, doesn’t jerk off, has SSReyes, etc.

I say this over and over but it is an important message: there is no “mental illness” (apart from maybe severe psychosis or schizophrenia — actual diseases that can be confirmed by scans or physical tests) that can’t be cured with willpower, physical exercise, and by making positive lifestyle changes and changing your thought patterns.

Go to a bar and chat up one of these 40 y/o milfs.
For some reason women get way more chatty (in general) the older they get.

Fuck ssris they killed my best friend and almost ruined my life. Check out Anne Tracy Blake. If you really want to be free know yourself, eat right, stop doing degenerate shit, mediatate, pray, for now sakes don't be a lazy bitch and take the easy way out and shut down your brain.

Of course there's truth to what i say. I didn't waste time writing it for nothing. Like i said, psychology today posted an article about the benefits of psychedelics and specifically shroom vis a vis depression. It's not new. Alexander Shulgin wrote books about it.

MDMA, if done in the correct setting, helps tremendously as well.

Dude, hit up an older person's bar. Older women love to teach even if they don't go in there expecting to do so.

Yes.

Oh, it also depends on the set and setting. Shrooms, or any psychedelics, are only as good as your mindset before and during the trip. Your overseers have a big part in that.

Tldr, do shrooms with a shrink or a religious mentor. Not at a fucking anthrax concert.

Blah I only know where, uh, one bar is located within 20 miles around here. And I think that's just a restaurant. The closest places with night lives are Princeton and another half-ghetto college town. Kinda hate both those atmospheres

Visited Seattle a while back and popped in for a fancy beer at the closest bar to my hostel. On a weekend night the place was utterly barren except for a couple and a few groups busy with themselves. Sucked

Different SSRI's work differently for people.

It may take you a few months of trying medication to find one that suits you.

Don't expect it to cure your depression or to make you happy. All it does is take the edge off and help you make it to the end of the day. I highly recommend them, however, based on my 20+ years of taking them.

Depression is like trying to scale a wall without a ladder. SSRI's provide that ladder, but you still need a good diet and exercise to climb it.

Try drinking apple cider vinegar with lemon juice and water in the morning with a multivitamin. It will speed up your metabolism. Once you have more energy, go for long walks. Consider LSD or mushrooms over SSRI's. Watch Dr Berg and Jordan Peterson videos.
