I’m not against psychiatric meds at all and it’s encouraging that they may have benefits beyond mental health. However it is still worth noting why some may want to proceed with caution.
Columbine lawsuit targets maker of drug Luvox (Fluvoxamine)

The “I feel better now, I don’t need these anymore” is extremely dangerous.
lawsuit aside, the target audience for this med may be limited to older patients with no history of emotional issues and who are at low risk for seratonin syndrome. OTOH the course of treatment is restricted to 10 days, which may mitigate risk in younger groups. (but is a 10 day-course unreasonable with a fast infecting virus such as Delta, when monoclonals within 10 days of positive testing may pose less risk?)
