Also how humans live has change drastically in the past 5-10k years and especially in the past 500 years. You have no idea how people dealt with mental illness in the past - probably a lot more people killed themselves from it or died earlier because they couldn't keep up with their tribe or whatever. But no one knows, so stop pretending it's a good argument

Yeah, I was kinda drunk and almost had borderline heatstroke. I definitely came off like a douche. Perhaps I was just looking for a reaction when I said I was proud of never taking any of those meds. But looking back, I am thankful that I didn't go that route. Of course everyone is different.
I honestly believe it should be a last resort and there's certainly a lot of data to suggest that doctors over-prescribe those meds.
