Same here, after struggling for 39 years, glp-1 + SSRI + ADHD meds have made me a normal productive human, and 2 years ago I had pretty much given up on the possibility.

Having a child forced me to fix my life, and I'm incredibly happy because of it.

Pharmacology and chemistry can really make the world a better place.

Evidently not for children with depression. But yes chemistry is great.

Yoir choice between the red pill, the blue pill or no pill is pretty obvious but this choice is highly subjective.

What’s normal anyway?

I think that's a shorthand for "not dysfunctional and neurotically impaired".

[fgonzag]

For me? Not being hyper anxious all day (to the point that I just freeze and procrastinate all day), being able to sort of focus on the most important task (I'm still ADHD with 1000 unfinished projects, but at least I finish the things that have to be finished), eating healthy and enjoying exercising (100 lbs down and got quite good at tennis), not entering into a rage state due to anxiety overflow everytime I fight with my wife, being able to regulate my emotions, I could go on and on honestly.

This seems a little snarky. For someone with ADHD it’s not as much about “increased” productivity but rather non-zero productivity.

It was so pervasive at the time that the references to it spilled over into SF Bay Area hip hop culture...

Doctors. That is why they prescribe it.
