>Implying adults even exist anymore

Enjoy your eternal "emerging adulthood." I'm sure we'll all "find ourselves" someday, on our death beds.

>That video

On the bright side, at least some people have things they will still kill for right?

Right?

Would you stop being such a tightass about semantics here? Please? We're not all as autistic as you.

This dictionary you're citing isn't explaining the use of these terms in all possible contexts.

Fuck's sake you are so exasperating.

>When he experienced severe side effects from the medication, Wallace attempted to wean himself from his primary antidepressant, phenelzine. On his doctor's advice, Wallace stopped taking the medication in June 2007, and the depression returned. Wallace received other treatments, including electroconvulsive therapy. When he returned to phenelzine, he found it had lost its effectiveness. In the months before his death, his depression became severe.
>electroconvulsive therapy.

I've spent a lot of my life on antidepressants. They can make it hard to find even subjective meaning in reality, objectivity, biology, neuroscience notwithstanding. When you come off of them, you find yourself split in two, and you have to reconstruct personal meaning and your identity while trying to make amends with the actions you made while on the drug.

I made so many mistakes while on antidepressants, but they didn't allow me to care. I became a total loose canon socially, put myself in relationships I never would have otherwise, and ended up hurting a lot of people in the process. When I got off of them, I was more prone to making desperate, rash decisions, like dropping out of school and admitting myself to a mental hospital.

I understand they may help some people, but if you've been raised as a more introspective leaning person, they can have severe detrimental effects.
