He might now be telling you what he actually has. Depression on its own cures itself, if its a symptom of a different pcychological problem then yea meds are needed.My thought is, for the average person, how are you supposed to create pathways and patterns of you don’t deal with depression and such naturally. When you are on drugs all the time, what is normal?
I have a friend, multiple times they have changed his meds, everytime he finally gets to a point where he feels centered, then they come along and fuvk him up again. The last time, they wanted to change his meds again, he was doing really good, best I’d seen in years, i tokd him to tell them, no you don’t want them changed. Anyhow they pressured him until he did, then he was all fucked up again.
Anyhow after another year, I couldn’t take all his mood swings from them fucking with him, so I slowly distanced myself.
After years of watching this, I figured they just liked to experiment on him for fun.
My ex after her accident where she had brain damage would say she has depression to her friends but really developed boarderline personality disorder.
However docs also prescibe too early, if someone has just general depression they are quick to put on meds and a simplicit way of thinking when it comes to psychotropic drugs is like opiates
So you have natural opiods in your system, if i were to punch you right now you would actually only feel 10-20% of the pain because of your natural opiates
But if you take opiates it shuts down your natural production, kinda like roids... so when u stop the outside source you become hypersensitive... quiting opaites is said to be the worse feeling humanly possible, people wish to die, but its just the common cold sympoms but they feel 100% of it...
Its kinda like roids too in terms of shutdown and hypersensitivity(waiting to recover) but different on the brain at routes, psychotropic drugs anand opiates arethe same in this way.... basicallysaying if u take a psychotropic drug for dillusions coming off the meds make you more dillusional then ever.
If someone is taking a psychotrpic drug for basic reasons like depression or anxiety, im against. But i see its reasons for it with peoplewho have psychological sympotoms that dont start with anti... benzos arethe devilt too... anti anxiety medication
But with alall that said, sorry about your friend. I watched my ex fall apart from being the best person ive ever met inti someonewho needs 24 hour care. Needs someone 24/7 but doesnt get along with anyone. Its rough, i had to bubble wrap the whole house, remove all metaland glass, all blunt instruments, i had to cook cause she couldnt be around heat and even then she still had visions where shethought she was seriously hurt but wasnt or would seriously hurt herself and not know why she did it, wouldnt even knowshewas the onewho did it sometimes.... i maybe cried as a baby, but i was told my whole like im emotionless, people thought i was a serial killer but watching her fall apart would make me tear up
Btw yes they do just experiement not for fun but for money. They dont give a shit
