>but no one bothers to take the time out to sit down and figure out WHY they feel sad and FIX THAT FOR THEM. That takes too much work

Out of curiosity, have you ever been depressed or do you know people with diagnosed depression?

I ask, because when I first visited a psychiatrist my life was going great - very good job, great financial situation (i think i could FIRE today), happy marriage, perfect health. It didn't save me from recurring self harm and suicidal ideation, and it doesn't explain why I had weeks when I couldn't even open my work email.

Sometimes your brain is just causing your trouble for no reason. Drugs work, or may work, and may save lives. I write this because I had a similar opinion before being personally affected, so I see where you're coming from.
