    Don’t think of it like a weakness or anything like that - it’s brain chemistry (not always, but for most of what we’re talking here, it is). Presently, the only way to change the chemicals in your brain is through medication

    Think of it like diabetes. Would you feel that way if you were taking insulin?

    Or think of it like chemo. Chemo sucks, cancer is a “game over”

      The medicine works and very often we don’t know why but who cares if it’s helping us? It could be a placebo for all I know. I’m just glad someone goes to the trouble of making this stuff.
