Re:Ask HN: Beating depression with or without anti-depressants? by chaostheory on Wednesday April 06, 2022 @01:05AM (#30928681)
Unfortunately, psychiatry / psychology is currently barely a science. It still doesn’t have a repeatable theoretical model yet for some odd reason there are people who treat it as a science with real laws. Will it mature one day into a real science? Sure, but it’s dependent on several other fields maturing so it won’t be overnight. Consequently, I don’t blame anyone for doing more research or going with alternatives, especially since the economics of mental healthcare also go against the welfare of those who need it.
