Having done the SSRI “route” for a bit, I would honestly say that I believe that is the aim of most, if not all, such meds…
Because when the world and/or your life is messed up, “chemicals” aren’t going to correct for that. Nor for loneliness. Nor for boredom.
But they do turn you into a nice, numb, unquestioning slave, so there’s that, I guess…
Having said that, unmedicated (and undiagnosed) ADHD has probably ruined my life, and now it’s probably too late to get a diagnosis (in this country), so eh. I kind of wish there was a “happy median” between both extremes…
