Anti-Depressants Make People Unnaturally Happy

TLDR: Anti-Depressants Make People Unnaturally Happy
In the forum thread, Jasony argues that people should have the freedom to experience sadness without the artificial influence of antidepressants, which he believes make people unnaturally happy and less responsive to normal life events. He emphasizes the importance of experiencing natural emotions. Jaminhealth shares a personal experience, noting that her use of antidepressants in the early 1990s was due to an undiagnosed thyroid issue. Once her thyroid was treated in 2002, she no longer experienced clinical depression, suggesting that underlying health issues rather than a lack of antidepressants might be responsible for mood disturbances. This response supports the idea that medical conditions can significantly impact emotional well-being and might be mistaken for psychiatric issues.

People should be able to feel sad if they want to. Now, I don't advocate men crying and stuff like that, however, they should have the freedom to be sad. Now, with anti-depressants people are just happy in a weird way and they cannot react to things as normal people would. It's healthy for people to have normal emotions.
 
I dabbled in some anti depressants back in early 90's for a lot of years and it was a Sluggish unsupported thyroid that docs didn't find for 10 yrs or so.....

I got my thyroid "fixed" in 2002 and have been fine, content, etc etc ever since. The ups and downs of life but NO clinical depression. Thyroid is a Master gland.
