A member asked:
Is it true that maois are superior to ssris in improving social anxiety symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily, SSRI’ s are still preferred as first line due to side effect profile and drug-drug interactions. When it comes to symptoms, individual response can be rarely predicted, adjustments are made based on response.

A member asked:
If ssri's are so safe to take for long term (30+ years), then why depend on meditation, exercise or other non pharma methods for depression and anxiety which are so slow in giving relief from symptoms. Taking a pill is so easy. But there is stigma?
