They're also proven to not work for mental illness and cause other types. Prescribing medicines not invented for these illnesses shows how non-scientific the mental health industry is. No-one is cured from taking these drugs; they just relieve the symptoms.

That’s like saying you shouldn’t take paracetamol because it only dulls the pain of your headache, it doesn’t actually get rid of it.

There’s nothing wrong with tackling the symptoms as well as the root cause.

No-one should take paracetamol, it destroys your liver.

There are natural ways of curing a headache but that's another thread.

There used to be a lot of mental health hospitals, big places, same as in the UK. The closed them; wonder what effect that had on suicide figures? In those days people were sectioned much more freely

As a psychiatrist told us if everyone who said they were going to kill themselves was hospitalised there would be alot of mental health hospitals. It's the ones who don't tell you they want to kill themselves that you should be worried about

Not if you stay within the prescribed limits. In overdose, yes

Pain management is very important and yes, paracetamol can cure a headache, Aspirin is much more effective for me.

The prescribed pain meds I take daily have paracetamol in them and my liver is fine too. There is a safe limit with a wide margin. Read the label?

None of these medicines for mental ilness were created for mental illness. Prozac was originally for blood pressure problems. Ritalin came out decades before the ADHD got invented. Being prescribed medication when you tell your GP you're down is what's really simplistic.

The sildenafil compound was originally developed by Pfizer for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (chest pain due to heart disease). During the heart clinical trials, researchers discovered that the drug was more effective at inducing erections than treating angina
