Maybe if antidepressants weren't pushed so hard by big pharma, people would respect their use more.
If I may,
it's like the recent trend to call everything rape and sexual assault. At some point I have to start naturally doubting the claim on its face. That doesn't imply I think these things don't happen, just that I don't think someone making a stupid dad joke should turn into the woman shouting sexual assault and I find myself questioning all accusations as a result.

I have no opinions on any specific person taking antidepressants, but it's not unreasonable for people to get weary when you can't throw a stick without hitting someone who has been diagnosed with something that's being medicated with antidepressants.
