I think SSRIs can certainly be gateway drugs insofar as they raise awareness of the possibility of modifying behaviour and mood using chemicals. The same could be said of all psychotropic substances, but for many people, SSRIs are their first interaction with psychopharmacology, and open up a world of other psychotropics too.
Before I began using SSRIs, I never thought of the possibility of changing my behaviour chemically, while after I began using SSRIs, I suddenly found myself wanting to medicate every little behavioural deficiency that I had.Jamal
