Talk:SSRI

Just like with the language around "terrorism", there is a Big Pharma language that is very easy to slip into without realizing it - I do it all the time, especially when the alternative wording isn't easy to come up with.

SSRIs don't do jack s**t against depression, except in their own rigged science studies. They only numb and destroy the brain. Hence SSRIs don't "treat" depression, but maybe "prescribed for", "given for", or even "peddled as cures for"? Terje (talk) 00:41, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Prescribed means "given". the dictionary sees it as just a synonym imho. But I agree the wording was maybe too neutral. Let me know if you're still not satisfied. Jun (talk)

I think we're on a fairly similar page as regards SSRIs. I wouldn't go as far as "peddled as cures for". Peddled is not necessarily negative, but definitely has overtones in that direction. I suggest we stick with the standard 'present the facts as simply as we can' approach, i.e. by linking to the best evidence we can find. Let the studies do the convincing as needed. -- Robin (talk) 17:18, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Mechcanism of Action

Idk if someone more knowledgable could turn this into a section, but the full mechanism of action in the brain for every psychotropic drug is unkown, we don't have the technology or scientific understanding to trace the drugs from when they cross the blood brain barrier to when they get to wherever they're going to do whatever they do. Literally no one knows exactly how these drugs work. Search "mechanism of action adderall" "mechanism of action prozac" or whatever popular drug and you should find doctors begrudgingly admitting this (Edit by Jun: You forgot to sign off using the "~" User:AgentTorange)

Ï mentioned it in Commercialisation, but you make a good point. You could add it with a new header called "Concerns" under "Official narrative", or also under "Scientistic Effectiveness" on the drug page. Anyway, it's good info, just use a website in the sourcing, we'll help you when you do. Jun (talk) 15:20, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
