Odds are ridiculously high that this is another one with a chemically altered brain from years of psychotropic drugs for depression, anxiety, ADHD, or whatever.
Even with a study that shows that the assumptions behind SSRIs are false..
"Our comprehensive review of the major strands of research on serotonin shows there is no convincing evidence that depression is associated with, or caused by, lower serotonin concentrations or activity. Most studies found no evidence of reduced serotonin activity in people with depression compared to people without, and methods to reduce serotonin availability using tryptophan depletion do not consistently lower mood in volunteers."
.. doctors are still prescribing them. These include:
"ADHD medication treats the symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), such as hyperactivity and impulsivity. ADHD medications work by increasing the levels of chemicals (neurotransmitters) in your brain. It can take time to find the right ADHD medication for you, but once you do, you’ll likely see an improvement in your symptoms."
Common sense tells you that fucking around with the chemicals in the brain, year after year, will affect it negatively, and doctors prescribe all this shit year after year without even knowing how or if it works. And they do this to kids. A lot of people have multiple meds on this list. It's really unbelievable. The side effects of getting off these meds are scary.
