4. It is driving me crazy.

Hello group! As a person who highly values reason I am glad this group is here. The anti-psychology turn the board has taken is driving me nuts. If I hear that SSRI cause suidcide one more time I will go insane. The connection between SSRIs and suidcide can be explained by pointing out that it energizes the depressed before it extinguishes the depression. In that time, the depress has the energy to actually kill themselves. That's a better theory than saying SSRI create suidicidal thoughts-- which begs the question just why drugs would create those specific thoughts than any number of the innumeral thoughts one can have?

If they are against psychotropic drugs because of a wish to suppress evidence of materialism than their argument against SSRIs is absurd, as they attribute it a negative effects on the brain supporting a materialistic view.
