And there are other options - far better, far less harmful options do indeed exist - but the medical-pharmaceutical industrial complex hasn't made them widely known or available because getting people dependant on (due to severe withdrawal in most cases, another thing they lied about; like how it was lied about the new opiates weren't addictive to get them mass prescribed) medications that are patented allows pharma to make an increasingly large recurring revenue stream; and who cares if X% of MORE people kill themselves than otherwise would have if you're now making many $ billions per month - and as a doctor all you need to do to "help" someone, and the only competency and knowledge you need, the most shallow complexity you need to understand, is to write a prescription for someone?

And then the other side of the coin is the increased homicide, and the responsibility that people they should take on if they want these medications available - on top of being in part responsible for the increased suicides - are all of the mass shooting deaths; let alone the increased ideology and antisocial behaviour we have in society could arguably be heavily influenced by these medications as well, and the widespread harm that causes to society.
