And the withdrawal symptoms are awful for many people

I got antidepressants a year or so ago and honestly they were life changing.

However, I still think that they should be used as part of a more thorough treatment plan involving therapy, compassion and positive lifestyle changes. Not just as a prescribe and forget treatment.

Medical science and infrastructure has so much more work to do if it wants to actually help with mental health and neuroduversity.
