-Appeal to worse problems

-Gaslight and hand wave

-Slippery slope

I do agree that women are disproportionately affected by the over prescription




I would argue that you're doing the same thing. You're hand waving and gaslighting people who were/are helped by SSRIs. You're appealing to a worst-case scenario, where someone who does not have depression is immediately prescribed medication (incredibly rare, in fact not sure if this can happen). And you're claiming a slippery slope by extrapolating this to other mental health issues and psychiatry as a whole.
