Antidepressants and Gen Z Women
Antidepressants, particularly SSRIs like Lexapro, are gaining popularity among Gen Z women, with TikTok videos promoting their benefits attracting over 1.3 billion views. While many users share positive experiences, such as reduced anxiety and improved mood, concerns arise about the casual promotion of these medications and the potential side effects, including emotional flatness and sexual dysfunction. Experts emphasize the importance of recognizing that not all anxiety or depression requires medication and caution against overselling antidepressants as quick fixes. They advocate for a balanced conversation about mental health, encouraging therapy and support alongside medication.
