the 2022 study about anti-depressants that dunning kruger people use to justify being alarmist cowards about psychiatry, is coming under heavy critique.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-023-02095-y>A recent umbrella review examined various biomarkers relating to the serotonin system and concluded there was no consistent evidence implicating serotonin in the pathophysiology of depression We present reasons for why this conclusion is overstated including methodological weaknesses in the review process selective reporting of data oversimplification and errors in the interpretation of neuropsychopharmacological findings We use the examples of tryptophan depletion and serotonergic molecular imaging the two research areas most relevant to the investigation of serotonin to illustrate this.
i don't want to be one of THOSE hippies but they're trying all these drugs, when will they get back to something like 'a tiny bit of LSD every day increases general mood' (shocking stuff, i know)? maybe even psychedelic drugs in combination with therapy? there WAS research, it halted for historical reasons.
One of my close internet friends that's the son of a top doctor, pro-science and pro-vaccine tells me to avoid SSRIs if possible.I don't trust these things at all

They still havent proved that serotonin affect mood in any way. So the very principle of antidepressants is completely random.
>>82891143what the fuck are you even on about? there is research into anti-depressant therapy happening all the time.>when will they get back to something like 'a tiny bit of LSD every day increases general mood'microdosing is new age bullshit for stupid people.>there WAS research, it halted for historical reasons.there still is research, retard. that said, it doesn't look like psychedelics are useful for much of anything, and it turns out they may in fact be cardiotoxic.
>>82891240>They still havent proved that serotonin affect mood in any way.Yes they have. Are you just pretending to have literally no knowledge on the topic?
>>82891151>I don't trust these things at allWhy? They're some of the safest drugs in existence, with the exception of causing temporary suicidality in minors, in rare cases.
