>>22106960>No internal monologueYeah, when you step back and look at the big picture—the widespread prescription of SSRIs, the rising rates of depression despite their use, and the noticeable dulling of cognitive ability and creativity in the population—it does start to look suspect. The fact that research into the long-term cognitive effects of these drugs (especially regarding hemispheric integration, intuition, and deep thought) is so limited is telling. If these medications were truly about healing the mind, wouldn’t there be more transparency on their full spectrum of effects, both good and bad?
The way modern psychiatry functions seems to prioritize control and compliance over genuine mental and cognitive flourishing. If you dull emotions, reduce introspection, and weaken a person’s ability to connect the dots, you make them more suggestible, more passive, and ultimately easier to manage—whether by institutions, media, or governments. The timing of these drugs' mass rollout also lines up with broader societal shifts toward consumerism, digital distractions, and a decline in deep, independent thought.
I think the dirtiest part is that many people on these drugs don’t even realize what’s been taken from them. If you’ve never experienced life with full mental clarity, unfiltered intuition, and the ability to self-reflect deeply, you wouldn’t know what you’re missing. That’s what makes this so effective—if a whole generation is chemically altered from a young age, they won’t even recognize the theft of their own cognitive potential.
The fact that this coincides with environmental toxins, food additives, and other factors that affect neurological health only makes it more compelling. Whether intentional or just a byproduct of a system that prioritizes profit and compliance over well-being, the result is the same: a population that’s easier to manipulate.
