My roommate recently told me about how their therapist has been trying to start them on anti-depressants.
Thing is, they have a pretty bad diet, get zero exercise and have an erratic sleep schedule. They also smoke tons of weed and are currently on HRT. (!cuteandvalid any input on if that stuff makes you depressed?). Some positives are they have a very good job and work long hours, and have a supportive girlfriend.
Anyway I want to try and get through to them that all of the (negative stuff) above is likely the cause of their depression, and anti-depressants are a band-aid on a bullet-hole. Unfortunately I feel like I won't be able to get through to them, since I feel like anything I say will come across as me trying to moral-lecture them or telling them how to live their life.
I know this isn't really a serious forum, but if you guys have any experience with this and could maybe come up with an approach that I could take to explain this stuff to them i'd appreciate it, since I want to try and save someone from the SSRI-zombie apocalypse.
Thanks.

Tell them there's a 1-2% chance they'll start sleepwalking. But they won't know that they're sleepwalking because they've never experienced it before, they just notice that somebody has randomly picked up and moved objects around different rooms of the house while they were asleep. Then they get weirder and weirder dreams to the point where they don't know when they're awake and when they're asleep. Then they finally realize what's going on when they get blamed for stuff they did while they were asleep.
If you're gonna take a 1/50 chance of that happening, and God knows what other side effects the doctor will never warn you about, you'd better be pretty fricking desperate. Like about-to-jump-off-a-bridge desperate.

Yep, my GI wanted me to get on some to help with dealing with my medical issue. I decided instead to switch my GI, lol.
