@maiyannah @phildobangnz It's interesting you mention this as I was given an SSRI by the GP, and I didn't go searching for one. At first, I was reluctant to take meds for my conditions but I heard how it had helped someone else on a podcast... so when it was offered to me as a short-term solution while I changed other aspects, I decided to give it a try. Little did I know that this one increased the likelihood of suicide to begin with while I was waiting for the other changes. I did mention it, but nothing changed. It is really hard to tell whether it caused it or not because I was already suicidal at the time. I guess I got fortunate that I'm still here in spite of things like this. After a year and some on them, I was the one trying to get off it because it hadn't improved my condition... the GPs were the ones keeping me on them until I put my foot down and asserted myself. :/
