SSRI's are not the best drugs, or the worst drugs, or drugs people should take, or shouldn't take (for anxiety or anything else.) They're above all CONVENIENT drugs- convenient for the doctor, who can prescribe them knowing there's minimal physical risk to the patient; convenient to the patient, who can take it with little physical risk; convenient to the manufacturers, who can rake in lots of money off people's anxiety and illness. Have they made psychiatry 'one-size-fits-all'? A little, I think. The patient can get lost in the convenience, ease and profitability of these drugs.
