> Second, get off your drugs. SSRIs and benzos and other psychotropic medications have serious side effects that will cause you to have suicidal and homicidal ideations.

But aren't therapists the one peddling these drugs to their patients? You say see a therapist and then say avoid the drugs they peddle? What your local street drug dealer is to the drug cartels is what your therapist is to big pharma.

Also, is there any data or evidence that therapists help? Are we sure they don't make things worse?

Did you know there’s a difference between a productive comment and a hint at what a productive comment might look like?

My bad, I wasn't trying to be productive, I was just highlighting an exasperating conflation. it was really more for my benefit than theirs.

I'm sure if it mattered you would have pointed out the difference.
