Years ago my doctor switched me to an SSRI as a one time trial to see if it would better help/could be tolerated... yeah never again. That shit straight up induced mania and suicidal thoughts. I cut that trial off real quick right after noticing.
Everyone's different, but SSRIs are a hard no for me.
yeah that or 30 hour work week, walkable cities, free healthcare.
That's testable. That's already the case in some places, or close to it. Do those places also have rising suicide rates?
Denmark is like the happiest place on earth… what do they do?
Denmark's suicide rate is falling, so that is indeed evidence that they're doing something right.
A wealthy, small, semi-homogeneous population with strong social safety nets.
Norway is very similar to Denmark, though, and has tried to reduce the suicide rate for many years now but without success
Interesting. I wonder what is different between the two countries that could account for this?
Tricyclics are as good as the SSRI, but they aren't first line because of the secondary effects.

Neither really work well enough to be used. We should seriously examine society...
