Most of them are pretty shit for men because they cause low libido in like 50% of men. But there are some like trazodone that cause raging boners which is good.

Because the majority of this board are autistic basement dwellers with body dysmorphia. Body dysmorphia is caused by inherent unhappiness and a feeling of lack of control over one's life. The phrase misery loves company rings true. People who feel crappy about themselves don't want other people to improve. And that's what antidepressants are a tool for. There to help take the edge off the feeling of despair and aimlessness so you can focus on the root cause and improve your life. And the thought of somebody else improving their life while they aren't is devastating to them.

There's a couple of varieties of antidepressants. What /fit/ probably hates is the SSRI class as they are generally shit except Fluvoxamine (notably, boner killers, brain fog, increased appetite).
Bupropion is its own thing and raises libido considerably.
Nobody does Tricyclic or MAOI's anymore.

There is zero proof of any "brain chemistry imbalance", and your brain develops a tolerance to whatever the hell they do anyway.

Most people need to change their attitudes, and look inward, and get a spiritual compass -- period. We knew that ages ago. Read the book "the power of positive thinking".

It's a deal with the devil. You develop rapid tolerance, which requires progressive dose increases, to which point you start getting horrific side effects at the high dose ranges. Also, have fun getting off of this shit. If you start getting bad sides, you can't just cold turkey them and need to agonizingly slowly taper off of them to not get permanent brain damage from the withdrawals. So you'll be in 4-6 months of a pure hell from a nightmare you can't wake up from if they ever turn on you, which is a common occurrence on these medications. That feeling of being in a prison of your own making is what makes people kill themselves

Have there been any studies that provided dispositive evidence of SSRI's effectiveness as a class of drug? As far as I know, the literature suggests they don't do a fucking thing, worse, they have all sorts of side effects for essentially no benefit.

Especially paxil and amitryptyline

Do people not read wikipedia articles about what they ingest? The effectiveness of antidepressants is largely placebo and it comes with unhealthy side effects
That being said I do take fish oil pills

>Why does /fit/ hate them?
BECAUSE THEY MAKE YOUR DICK GO NUMB

Not only is there no evidence of the drugs working, there also has never been any evidence that depression is caused by a "brain imbalance" in the first place. Furthermore, there's no evidence that a "brain balance" exists either. It was all literally invented for the sake of commercials and the drug manufacturers repeatedly lost lawsuits over this fact, yet they still made enough money off of their slop drugs to make up for the money they lost via the lawsuits.

If you want the red pill, the thread has answered for you.

Here's the blue pill, you didn't ask but here i go:
Antidepressants (SSRI's) are mostly fine. The doses are low enough to get a decent therapeutic effect. And they're cheap in most countries. Some you can actually get without a prescription.

However, there has indeed a rise of overprescription of these medications. And while the abuse liability is relatively low (compared to barbiturates anyway) it's still a thing. It's not right for a person to take Escitalopram or Sertraline for more than 3 years, if it's been ruled out the clinical diagnosis.

It needs to be said that >98% of depression cases are due to external causes. Medications won't be enough, you also need psychotherapy. After improvements, the psychiatrist can discuss weaning the medication and the patient can use their acquired emotional regulation skills to be more resilient.

In cases of *clinical* depression, that is: persistant, immutable, long-term, starting at an early age (6+, up to 16) and never resolving on its own, the patient absolutely needs SSRI's. It should be treated as if this person has *clinical* ADHD.

There's a not so known use for it: it can detect bipolar disorder. Since SSRI's can induce mania. In which case, they have to stop taking it and go straight to mood stabilizers like valproic acid, lithium carbonate, lamotrigine, etc. They could sometimes use with a SSRI in case of the mostly depressive ones, but it has to be done in very low doses and well controlled.

That is (mostly) what i have to say.
