Re: Unpopular Opinions Thread

Yeah, as I said to Dreemy above, I know that this positive one is better than the negative one going about. I just wish it wasn't a reactionary pendulum. I wish we could all have an honest and factual discussion. I with the reaction was with facts and data, not wishful thinking, especially when ultra-positive can also be harmful.

So I guess we're in agreement. I suppose I'm just impatient. I want that now, not when society gets its head out of its ass.

Yeah, I wish it wasn't so polarising. Not only is only hearing one side harmful, it can be really confusing when someone's trying to decide and there's no nuances in the "yay positive!" and "boo negative!" arguments coming in different ears from different contexts.

GPs (regular doctors, which are often free) here in Australia push it on you after five, ten minutes of conversation after seeing you for the first time. That's really not a good idea in most cases. If you're low income the drugs are really cheap too, so you can be out the door and onto your first dose in fifteen minutes without much thought. And then, like my first experience, when it hits you like maggots trying to eat your brain from inside out and your hearing changes and you feel like a zombie and still utterly depressed, you're left wondering what the hell happened to the shiny happy promises made in those ten short minutes. (I've been on a good one for the last decade with no noticeable side effects, btw.)

I had a friend who became suicidal on the wrong one, stupid GP for being slow to pick up on that, she's alright now fortunately.

Huh, that's an interesting system. In America (If you work within a hospital system and don't go private practice.) you generally get a referral to see a Therapist/Psychologist team from your normal doctor. The two of them do an initial interview and work together to see what's best for you. Then the psychologist is the one who takes care of telling you about the medication and all that jazz if you start on it.

The system isn't perfect though. Hopefully both our systems can get better.
