My own experience with SSRIs was very unpleasant. Sure, it worked to reduce my anxiety problems while I was on them for years. The first year I was off of them was the worst though. I didn't have that bad anxiety ever, as in constant panic and feeking of impeding doom. This made me realize that they aren't really an option of me. So began my long therapy journey. After 7 years of weekly therapy, a healthy work-life balance, and regular exercise I'm just feeling better than ever.
So, I'd buy that they don't fix your brain. They definitely reduced anxiety for me and I can see the value for stabilizing people so they can do the heaking work in therapy.
