Again, another example of critical theory, critical social justice, and intersectionality being dispensed as de facto truth. It’s not, it’s just a political theory lens on history and life. The sooner it’s relegated to the bookshelf of political theory, the better. I would love to see a Free Press series on why this line of thinking is accepted and promoted as de facto truth amongst its practitioners. In the mean-time I will avoid the pharmacy as much as possible as I have been doing for years. The time when I did let my guard down for antidepressants it really monkeyed with my mental health in a negative way...which was something I was trying to improve. I will not touch those antidepressants anymore, they dole them out like candy and it was only after paying $100+ per session with a psychiatrist did she say the meds I was prescribed were not helpful, while the doctor told me to up the dose. Forget that. Take charge of your own mental health without pills if possible. The pharmacists were minimally helpful about side-effects. If the leftist politics in pharmacies are there to reassure LGBTQ+ folks about taking their antidepressants and similar medications, Lord help them…
Should you need it (depression often occurs periodically) find a good Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT) therapist. Usually have MA/MS or PhD/PsyD. They can help with depression or anxiety, at half the cost you noted above.
It is equal or better than medications, and has a long empirical history evidenced by thousands of studies. Just FYI, many psychiatrists are poorly trained in therapy, though as always there are good ones out there that can do both.
Thank you for the recommendation. CBT has indeed been helpful… it’s interesting how adjusting one’s thinking and belief system can have profound effects on good mental health.
