    If someone smacks you over the head with a bat, is that better or worse if they strike you over the head with a bat?

      They were saying that this person is addicted too, not that addiction isn’t bad. Chemical addiction is only one form addiction can take.

  tell me that’s not addiction

  That’s not addiction. Addiction is just as much psychological as it is physiological, and goes way deeper than chemical dependence. Once you’re through the withdrawals of SSRI dependence you’re pretty much good, while an addict will most likely struggle for the rest of their life.

  Trying to get off of long term SSRIs was a nightmare for me and left my body broken in a bunch of whole new ways

  Not all of them have that, I’ve been on about 7 SSRIs and have never had the zaps from stopping
