"Doctors are finally learning to manage antidepressant withdrawal: Withdrawal symptoms following long-term SSRI use appear far more pervasive and serious than previously realized. Now medical bodies are rethinking how and when to stop taking them." - Mike Mariana (New Scientist)

The medications are not treating what causes depression, they're counteracting mid-level chemical pathway effects while the factors driving those pathways that trigger depressive symptoms are neglected. Wise, competent clinicians can identify & address causes & use no drugs.

A pattern I see fairly often in survivors of traumatic abuse is a personality splitting where the person exhibits a personality that is very caring and kind, generous, sweet, and people pleasing. That persona is maintained pretty consistently in public and visible to strangers. Meanwhile, that person carries repressed anger, rage, and resentment that can be triggered by some people and situations, and the person can act very cruel, bitter, aggressive, or vindictive if triggered.

There's sometimes inner conflict with beliefs or programming that suggest it's best to "turn the other cheek" and "kill (or convert) them with kindness" clashing with the person's true feelings that need processing and expression or transmutation.

When I encounter a person with an extremely sweet and generous demeanor it tends to be a sign that there is a hidden, repressed part of the person that can act in the opposite manner. Both polarities exist within that individual. Those who only encounter the sweet, people pleasing persona may be shocked or surprised to hear others tell of their encounter with the person's shadow side.
