I think in many ways antidepressants can actually make things worse because of the emotional blunting side effect that can make it hard to connect with others.

Please don't generalize about things you know little about.
There are many depression treatments that have no "blunting side effect" at all.

My mother committed suicide because of anti-depressants so you can kindly go fuck off with your arrogance and ignorance to boot. The Brain is far more complex than pseudo-intellectuals like yourself like to think. Serotonin does a whole heck of a lot more than control mood so any imbalance caused by the medications can be equally as fatal.
Not buying.
More to the point, there are many, many different drugs with many unrelated modes of action and very different side effects, all labeled "anti-depressants". You can complain about side effects of one of them, or even a related family of them, but pretending all are alike identifies a crank.
