Yeah big pharma wants to make money but so does every business. Supermarkets are out to make money, the shoe shop down the road wants to make money unfortunately that how the world works.
I hope that will change one day when we become truly cilvilsed.
Years ago there was little help or understanding. 'Mad' people were ridiculed, put in a straight jacket, locked in a padded cell.
Some left in an asylum for years.
Meds have changed that sometimes enabling people to live a (almost) normal life.
Meds are a not perfect l know, but better than how it used to be!
My father suffered with depression no SSRIS then, his mother spent time in an asylum.
Times have changed for the better.
Still a long way too go, but, one day there will be a cure!

I agree with you things are much better and the stigma is getting less. We still have a long way to go but we will get there.
