    The thing that bugs me about all these ‘I went off psych meds and you can too’ pieces is that it’s very hard to find ‘I went off psych meds and it was not for me’ counterpoints. There’s room to talk about both experiences, but we don’t.https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/i-spent-half-my-life-on-antidepressants-today-im-off-the-medication-and-feel-all-right/2020/01/03/af446dc8-1796-11ea-9110-3b34ce1d92b1_story.html …

        Not the ONLY thing, mind you, there are all kinds of problems with how these articles are framed and the editorial failure to interrogate them is telling.

        U.S. culture spends all this time complaining crazy people need to be better controlled through surveillance, forced hospitalisation, forced medication, etc and then these articles about how psych meds are bad and you should go off them to discover your true self.

        Anyway looks like 2020 is going to be the year where I start leaning all the way in on irresponsible editorial decisions because I’m tired of seeing writers dragged for their bad takes while no one looks a little further up the food chain.

        I'm happy for people who can function well without medication (and the associated side effects) but man oh man, I got my MDD diagnosis in my late twenties and my life is so much better now that I'm on antidepressants

        I would love to read it! And yeah it’s not that those articles aren’t out there, they totally are, it’s just that they’re not in major media, and that is a very big problem.

        What could possibly worse than the stigma associated with having brain cooties? The stigma associated with taking medication(s) to control your symptoms.
