Welcome to our community of support for those coping with mental health challenges. Many of us take antidepressants prescribed by doctors to help manage conditions like anxiety, depression, OCD, and panic disorder. This is a space to share experiences, find information, ask questions, and encourage one another.

We aim for open and constructive dialogue. Please be thoughtful and kind. Rude or abusive language will not be tolerated. Our focus is on learning, growing, and walking together through difficulties.

Professional medical advice is irreplaceable. Consult your physician before making any changes to medication routines. Improper antidepressant use can be dangerous. We are here to support you on your journey toward mental wellness, not replace doctors.

Most studies show that SSRIs do work best in conjunction with therapy, like CBT, so you're not entirely wrong. But the comment "you do you" seems to dismiss that some people have very real biological differences that might make them a long term solution, even with effective lifestyle changes. So I'll edit based on my experience and understanding.

You do ~~you~~ what you need to in order to feel healthy and happy (appropriately happy, not all the time happy). Be sure to check in wirh yourself regularly, ask for help where you need it, and know that the peope that (should) matter to you are on your side and hold no judgement however you need to get healthy.

Yeah, thanks. I was too lazy and didn’t want to spend too much time. So thanks!
