b) antidepressants are not addictive so there are no withdrawal symptoms

explanation: this is not true because antidepressants such as prozac etc are very addictive and hard to come off of over the years. therefore it is best to slowly stop using antidepressants (like lowering the dosage)

ik a lot about this because i’m on anxiety and antidepressants
