  1. 21:40 what these side effects are very common: - sexual dysfunction (72%), including anorgasmia (65%) - weight gain (65%) [and no it is not simply because people eat more, nor in case of antidepressants nor antipsychotics] - emotional blunting (65%) - not feeling like oneself (54%) - reduced capacity for positive feelings (46%) - addiction due to withdrawal effects etcetc you are heavily misinforming your audience by denying these Combine that with permanent changes to brain micro-morphology _even on healthy brain_, like hippoccampal atrophy, they have a bad side effect profile.

  2. thats because "depression" is oftentimes just the pathologisation of normal feelings of distress in response to trauma, whether individual or systemic. even when it isnt, the diagnostic categories like "MDD", "GAD" , "schizophrenia" have little to not scientific validity.

  4. 1:30 With all due respect there is no way to distinguish between normal distress in response to a life situation and some kind of pathological process in most cases. Not only is that The case because psychiatric interviews direct the conversation in such a way to pathologise everything, to search for confirmation and not refutation (confirmation bias), but also, societal issues cause distress In the population. This distress is then noticed but instead of being seen as a useful physiological indicator and reaction to the state of society it is immediately pathologised, adorned wity a diagnostic label (that serves to stigmatise and endanger patients) and medicated into silence.
