Middle-aged women often struggle with , lack of energy, brain fog and other symptoms that can be indicators of . Or these could just be signs of low levels. Yet many doctors prescribe for women who are not actually depressed and who may benefit from other treatments. Says one:

"We, as doctors, have been understating the powerful effects of hormones on mental health and have been reaching too readily for antidepressants."

Use of antidepressants increased by nearly two and a half times from 2000 to 2020 in 18 European countries, according to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) data.

The subtext I am reading here is:
because neither pharmaceuticals nor health professionals can earn a lot of money with , it will not happen quickly with approvals.
Why should these help so that many people can live without or the like, or that many years of therapy are not necessary?

And: our consumer world does not need more satisfied people either, the would say...

Started ( for north Americans lol) today for the 1st time.

Hoping combined with starting + actually taking ( - mood stabiliser) that it will help my mood.

Iā€™ve been off meds for months so makes sense to start the new now (originally was moving from aka but havenā€™t taken it in ages lol) so might as well give it a go.

Hoping for stability + renewed resilience/positivity but maybe a miracle ask šŸ˜‚

This is appalling and confirms what I hear often from clients and others: stigma about , especially taking /#medication remains a huge issue in many workplaces. This dreadful (and stupid) policy needs to be changed immediately.

My hasn't been doing so hot. Looking into getting prescribed to help get my under control. But I have to admit I'm pretty scared.

I know there's no reason to be scared really. Lots of people take something to assist. But it still makes me nervous you know?

My seems to be subsiding after reducing my and after a spell of cloudier, rainier weather (I have ). My aggression and levels are down, and hours of sleep and ability to focus are up.

I've been restless to the point of bugging my family- might be time to revise the antidepressant dosage downwards, which is a gotdam miracle by virtue of never having happened before. I like the productivity, but I'd enjoy being able to relax enough to sit and veg out on a TV show without feeling like I should be doing something else.

I feel like shit.

The and the between them have messed up my prescription for and I havenā€™t had any since last Wednesday. You are not supposed to come off antidepressants cold turkey. It is a bad plan. I feel sick, dizzy and exhausted. I canā€™t sleep, I canā€™t concentrate and Iā€™m getting brain zaps.

I have a doctors appointment today and I may well cry.

Y'all I try to be good on . It is for work after all.

I'd written this snarky, stat-filled comment in reply to the bros supporting the utterly bullshit 'this can only be a symptom of late-stage ' article from the called the "Bossesā€™ New Task Is Figuring Out Whoā€™s High at Work."

Instead, I'll share it here for posterity:

The has approved 20,000+ drugs that can be directly marketed to consumers. 70% of Americans take one or more daily. 24.5% of college students are taking some form of . 45 million prescriptions written for in 2020, causing a global shortage. Meanwhile, while nearly half of Americans tried at some point, only 13% reported using it in the last 30 days ā€” a far cry from the 70% that have taken an Rx in that same time period.

Ugh, adjusting to a new sucks. What sucks more is not taking care of your , so while it's a process, all the pain and mental distress while the brain adapts is worth it in the long run.

Oh potent psychedelics, your power so grand,
From mental health struggles ever on demand.
But your mighty strength could be a foe,
For inducing dreams where madness can go.

But now a window opens so high,
The hope of a journey without a goodbye.
Maybe new therapy awaits,
A chance of recovery beyond our fate.
