+++ to all those also people are squeemish as shit about it, but: meds can help. In fact they can help like 50% of all people. They're hit and miss and random and fickle. But there is serious upside to them, and for a significant fraction of people.

I also know multiple people whose lives are 5x better because of them. I think the real answer here is: use what works, and stop using what doesn't. And just as we should destigmatise things that help, we should destigmatise saying "well that sucked, let's try something else"

SSRI in isolation can be an issue. If you haven’t addressed all the other shit in your life that can be addressed, just adding an SSRI is often futile. In combo with other therapies/changes, can be great. And maybe not needed at that point anyway.
