There's lots available for depression. You can even get a marijuana prescription for it.
Depression is not something you can simply throw medication at, your reply makes it seem that either you do not believe in mental health issues or that your actual knowledge of them and working treatments is extremely limited.

Any doctor or nurse can throw a drug at it, the most common being SSRI's, SNRI's and combo drugs (sometimes they go back to the "gold standard" and toss something like imipramine at you); the problem with these medications is that they seem to work about as effectively as placebo's for most people. Cannabis isn't for everyone, I recommend that anyone try it as a possible crutch for depression but to depend solely on a crutch for mental health issues is setting yourself up for failure. Depression like a lot of other mental health problems has root issues that need to be addressed before any progress can truly be made in recovering from it, for some people it is simply a life long affliction that no medication, counselling, reasoning or logic will ever fix.

Our country lacks heavily in counselling options for the mentally ill, CMHA is a fucking shit show, crisis nurses at the ER seem to be so over worked that they will tell you to have your doctor refer you to a hospital psychologist (a process that can take 6 months+ depending where you are, and it has to be a hospital one if you want our health care to cover the cost) rather than actually admit you for observation. People are dying because of the lack of proper mental health access in our country.

Anti depressant makes me antsy. It feels like cheap speed. So I have the honor of having mood suppressants and antipsychotics to stop me from taking a very very long trip.
Shit sucks, but that's probably because it took decades to figure out, hey maybe it's me that's nuts. At least I'm just emotionally disturbed because I am pretty sensitive, I could have been a psychopath or something. But it is about $100 of pills a month and a fucktonne weed.

The tool acts like he's an expert on a whole bunch of subjects - politics, medicine, mental health, international trade, unions, LP's and any other topic that comes up. It's comical - I feel sorry the guy lives such a miserable existence that he needs to subject anonymous internet posters to his false sense of superiority in order to stroke his ego.

How do you propose to do that?

All you do is say that I don't know anything and you don't offer any credible information outside of "all lp's are garbage poison".

Pointing out ignorance doesn't educate anyone.

I don't see you providing any credible info either. You try to interject your opinion on every thread as if it were fact and then attack anyone with an opposing view. Very troll like if you ask me.

I think you two should start PMing, or get a room.

Yeah the last one. and only one survivor gets to leave.
I suggest you fuck each other to death as it will be the last thing one of you will do.
