Reply to comment by Fit-Rest-973 in New study (n=276) finds that a standardized mindfulness program is as effective as a common antidepressant (Escitalopram) at treating anxiety, with both treatments leading to about a 30% reduction in symptoms. by fotogneric
It seems you are inferring that the only reason patients take anti-depressants >8 weeks/chronically is because someone will profit. That is unequivocally false.
Antidepressant use shows sustained lower scores in clinical depressive scales validating its chronic mood enhancement overtime. Sure drug companies like to make profits from chronic meds, but they are only prescribed because there is a true benefit.
Your comment is honestly pretty disappointing as you are a healthcare practitioner and are feeding into the stigma of mental health treatment

Pretty! I wonder how much I would have to inhale to eviscerate my lungs to need a ventilator for life.
