Just like with the language around "terrorism", there is a Big Pharma language that is very easy to slip into without realizing it - I do it all the time, especially when the alternative wording isn't easy to come up with.

SSRIs don't do jack s**t against depression, except in their own rigged science studies. They only numb and destroy the brain. Hence SSRIs don't "treat" depression, but maybe "prescribed for", "given for", or even "peddled as cures for"? Terje (talk) 00:41, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Prescribed means "given". the dictionary sees it as just a synonym imho. But I agree the wording was maybe too neutral. Let me know if you're still not satisfied. Jun (talk)

Mechcanism of Action

Idk if someone more knowledgable could turn this into a section, but the full mechanism of action in the brain for every psychotropic drug is unkown, we don't have the technology or scientific understanding to trace the drugs from when they cross the blood brain barrier to when they get to wherever they're going to do whatever they do. Literally no one knows exactly how these drugs work. Search "mechanism of action adderall" "mechanism of action prozac" or whatever popular drug and you should find doctors begrudgingly admitting this
