Less than 3% of all drugs prescribed for women are actually tested on women. Even when tested on rats, male rats are used. Why? Because the researches don't want crazy hormones messing with their desired outcomes. So, women are being duped at a level I struggle to comprehend. When researchers bind themselves to a financial benefactor, they must leave their moral code at the door. They shift form from adventurous seekers to fear laden status protectors. And the scoundrels who entrap them, the pharmaceutical executives and their medical allies, should be dealt with harshly. Perhaps a drug that numbs their hands, so that they too can no longer enjoy sex.

Psychiatrists are liars.

It is appalling to see examples like this of medical gaslighting- especially misuse of the involuntary commitment system. Even if untrue, what harm would be done by a patient having this delusion?

Who knew? This is interesting. My own emotional chemistry has come and gone since I was a toddler. It's mostly been gone. Given the description here, I'm guessing I've had these symptoms for a lot of my life, with short periods - 4 or 5 years - of hypersensitive emotions. The SSRIs must do what my own system can do in the face of emotional trauma.
