My friend on SSRIs tried to convince me I have generational trauma

A person I know (not on here) got on SSRIs (anti depressants) recently

Not kidding you, he immediately told me "Pieter, we both have generational trauma, it is very important you also start taking anti depressants as soon as possible, it will really help you"

I spit out my sparkling water with squeezed lemon

"No I am fine, I love my life, I love the people around me, I love my work, I eat a diet of whole foods, I go to the gym 4 times a week and lift heavy and do cardio just so I do not become depressed like you, why would I go on SSRIs, are you out of your mind?"

This shit is contagious
