What a surprise: consuming drugs that damage the body increases mortality.

Don’t need to make the conditions for needed health if you can just scam people into getting them amirite capitalists? /s

    After reading the article, your post seems hyperbolic. I don’t find it surprising at all that long term use of some medications has some adverse health effects. Notably, the article mentions in the last paragraph that more study of the observed effect is needed before drawing firm conclusions.

    Also notable that the medications studied also were correlated with some positive health effects as well. Additionally, the effects were not observed across all classes of depression medications.

    Lastly, I feel like the drugs in question, even if they shorten someone’s life, may improve the quality of their life, amd that’s a trade many would be willing to make.
