>I've taken numerous antidepressants. None of them made me a zombie or desensitized me, at least not in a negative way. I was less sensitive to criticism, but I did not lose my ability to empathize with others or feel moved by events. Your characterization of how these drugs work grossly misrepresents many people's experiences. The ADs you've taken may have had that effect on you, but they definitely don't have that effect on everyone. Your argument in this regard is highly flawed.
