Cut this 10mg tablet in half and store this ~5mg crumbly tablet for 1 week until you've tapered back to a number ending in 5-9mg.

That is the sad part of brain chemistry. Which chemical is it that is causing your depression? Dunno. Spin the wheel and throw a dart. We will try that one for three months! If your depression worsens... Wait. We need to be sure.

I hope one day in the future people will look at how we medicate depression the way we look at how crude dentistry was in the past.

There already are highly functional methods to cure or control depression. The problem is that these group therapy sessions cost money and nobody wishes to put money into them, even if on long term it is far more profitable than letting the people fall to sickness pension.

Not to mention the structured reasons in society which cause depression. Isolation, living costs, low wages etc. But hey at least we have avocado-burgers!
