Thank you for sharing this piece of interesting information, tomipark. In my opinion, these antidepressants were healthier compared with modern ones. Today many antidepressants contain more drugs that can cause addiction, and they are more dangerous compared with those antidepressants that were used by greeks a long time ago. Even though some of my friends got addicted to antidepressants during their bad life periods, approaching a professional interventionist service and making the intervention on time prevented the deterioration of the situation.
