This comment hits different when you unironically take pills for ADHD and anti-depressants

Imo no one needs to be taking those. Took them both nearly 10 years ago and it never helped. Going natural is the only way to go from my wisdom and experience.

This is just blatantly incorrect. Mental illness has a strong genetic component, meaning some people are so strongly predisposed to them that medical intervention is a necessity for them to live a non-horrible life. We ARE our brains, so when the brain lacks the chemicals to perform its tasks, that is a serious issue

I’ve seen it be a night and day difference for some people, but I’m in the same boat as you where they didn’t help (antidepressants specifically for me).

They are worth trying, but I’d definitely recommend some evidence based therapy whether a pill works or not
