Retired Psychiatric Nurse here posting after the last school shooting. Got in a debate with a chiropractor who stated," All anti-depressants are bad. All MD's are too linear."

I tried explaining that these medications are a last resort not a first approach. They work for many, many people but there are psychotic breaks, there are anomalies. They do not always work for everyone. We are individuals with differing metabolism/different brains. Said chiropractor would not listen therefore asking you the reader  if above medications( broad spectrum but he made a broad statement) work or do not work and why.

One of the things we observe giving medication besides right time, right dose etc it the right response to medication with observable outcome.
