The We Happy Few thing is definitely hamfisted, but there is truth in it. The point seems to me to be more that antidepressant drugs are too often treated as an end-all be-all solution when they really can only be truly effective as part of a complete approach to mental health treatment, where medication is used alongside counseling and lifestyle changes. Simply taking antidepressants and nothing else is not a sustainable path to a healthy lifestyle, in part because the side effects are dangerous too, and such decisions should be made in concert with trained medical professionals and confidants who can help ensure that the medicine is working as intended.
No doubt they could have worded it better though
While they do not not make someone completely healthy. Anti depressants will correct the chemical imbalance in the brain.So just using them can help deal with the problem completely depending on the mental condition.
OT, I know, but that's great news, hope things are working out for you.
Thanks. Got a very long way to go but getting proper support is now one less worry.
