lithium does what it says and is prescribed to people that need that effect.
SSRIs are not even a treatment. More and more studies are coming out proving that the efficacy as a treatment is almost all placebo, but doctors knew this, they use it as a diagnostic tool to help them figure out which course of treatment they should start with in 8 to 12 weeks.
And in the meantime you're playing blindfolded darts with your brain and if you bring up that the changes are permanent they fucking gaslight you and say "oh you can stop taking them at any time" like yea man cool but uh permanent changes are still permanent so like huh?
