While I definitely think this is some religious nuttery I also feel like they didn't necessarily make the wrong choice. Or at least the correct choice is not as clear cut as people like to paint when it comes to antidepressants.
Antidepressants are more dangerous than people tend to admit. There has been a growing amount of academic scepticism around their long term effects and efficacy. Dr Mark Horowitz is the person who comes to mind that has been doing that sort of work.
I personally regret very much going on antidepressants, long-term they absolutely made my mental health worse. Prozac gave me a seizure. Effexor gave me multiple manic episodes and long term withdrawal symptoms that were just awful. I started cutting after I was on antidepressants not before them. I am now off them again but I can't undo that damage and trauma.
They may have reached the right choice, but if so, it was definitely for the wrong reason.
yeah I'm not saying the religious crap isn't nutty but it's just run of the mill Christianity, not a mental illness in and of itself that requires medication
Religion isn't a mental illness, as anyone can fall prey to it with the right circumstances. But it is a total thought trap and harmful illusion.
the people in this thread saying the dude should be on antipsychotics seem to be implying it is which I take issue with
I agree
