The amount of psychiatrists that don’t believe in/are completely oblivious of mental illnesses is absolutely insane.
Yes, their job is significantly harder as many of the illnesses don’t have a sure fire diagnosis like a broken bone, but the amount of doctors that treat a patient like a pill seeker while the patient is telling the doctor they are suicidal is extremely depressing.
I mean, anti depressants aren’t even fun drugs usually. Especially not mood stabilizers. Both of which often give depressive symptoms to healthy people (including driving them to suicide). I could see being more cautious on prescribing Adderall (as that is just meth) but Lexapro isn’t gonna be a fun time. Gonna be a pretty shit party if the drug of choice brought out is Lexapro.

For all I care, if a patient commits suicide because you told them they were faking their obvious mental illness, you’re guilty of negligent homicide.
That charge can and must be applied to a ton of Western doctors and punished accordingly.

With Lexapro, the “party” starts when you stop taking it.
My brain had a party after being on it 3 weeks- had a grand mal seizure and never took that shit again.
