THE SCIENCE IS SETTLED, ALL MEDICAL ASSOCATIONS AGREE
?
retard
depression isn't caused by chemical imbalance, but that doesn't mean the pills don't work to alleviate certain aspects of depression
If you’re reading about medical research in the regular news feel free to disregard it. It’s always just clickbait
How do the pills work if depression isn't caused by your body chemistry?
user, why are you expecting a possible Any Forumsfag to be able to have any sort of complex thoughts?
Internet news articles: because the very complex and nuanced results of medical science studies are best explained in ~10 words
More serotonin makes your more happy. Even if you having naturally low levels of serotonin isn't the cause for depression, increasing serotonin will help with depressive symptoms (with diminishing returns, of course).
>how can tweaking possibly related mechanisms help a problem?
if they're just happy pills, why shouldn't everyone take them?
I couldn't cum on SSRIs don't do it
>>but gender identity is a totally real thing, trust us
Complete non-sequitur. The article isn’t saying depression doesn’t exist. Unless your point is that the scientific consensus on things can sometimes change, in which case, no shit.
yeah user you should go back to R3ddit where people's opinion are truly deep and well-though
gender identity is the claimed cause of wanting to cut your dick off
>the news articles rather than peer reviewed journals
LOL
It is annoying how they're make it sound like scientists have just discovered that there is no evidence for chemical imbalance when it was never based on any serious science in the first place and just invented as a marketing slogan.
Doctors tell people that it is caused by chemical imbalance though and they'll probably go on doing it for years into the future. It's misinformation fed to them by their pharm overlords to help hock pills and often to convince people they will need them forever.
>Unless your point is that the scientific consensus on things can sometimes change, in which case, no shit.
The point is that whitecoats being on the side of trans people now isn't really a sign of anything other than a cultural shift. Scientists and medical professionals not only get things wrong but they often repeat bullshit that they have taken for granted is true without knowing any better.
Lots of anons here find out that the psychs and doctors treating them know less than they do about transgender identity or medicine.
They may be on the right side but they're just more useful idiots in this house of cards balanced on a trash heap.
transphobes be like :
>Media is lying about everything and corrupts the littlest of details to push their agenda
>Media i don't believe in AKSHLY support my point, Checkmate trannies
nuts thread
oh, so antidepressants are gonna be the next far right scare campaign
I'm on an SSRI and my depression is caused by my life being shit and having no self esteem and no future and being ugly, not a chemical imbalance
>chemical imbalance "theory"
>peer reviewed
It probably seems hard to believe because it sounds intuitively correct by now, having been repeated by everyone for decades including doctors whose job it is to know better but there has never been any actual scientific evidence to suggest it is correct.
But "you have a chemical imbalance and it is just like taking insulin for diabetes" sounds better than "taking drugs might improve your mood"
what does any of this have to do with Any Forums?
>trust the science, goy
>buy the pills, you'll never be happy without them
>you should see my therapist friend, Dr Rosenstein
>I have a headache im gonna take an ibuprofen
>GOOD GOY TAKE YOUR PILLS AND SERVE THE MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
>take 1 ibuproen
problem solved
>take 1 bottle of antidepressants
keep taking antidepressants
WOW GOOD JOB RETARD, GO BUY MORE, AGAIN.
What's the alternative to anti depressants? My doctor told me I'm probably going to have to be on them for the rest of my life and I don't believe the chemical imbalance shit, but none of this changes the fact they work
>I BELIEVE EVERY HEADLINE I SEE
>I NEVER READ ANY STUDY FOR MYSELF

>implying a single pill cures a lifetime of headaches
>>take 1 ibuproen

Says who? Good job feeding BIG PHARMA.
