He tweeted about how wonderful an article about depression from The Guardian is, the central thesis of the article being βlol antidepressants donβt work go make more friends lmaoβ.
The article argues that thereβs no reason to take antidepressants or anti-anxiety medication, because mental health problems are a result of having ourΒ βbasic needs unmetβ and that if people just went outside more and connected with other PEOPLE theyβd be cured.Β
Needless to say, this is not only objectively nonsense, itβs actively dangerous. Psychiatric pharmaceuticals save lives. They make people stable enough not to entertain thoughts of suicide. They allow people to be receptive to talking therapy. They balance chemical irregularities which lead to feelings of doom and nihilism.Β
The author of the article, however, thinks thatΒ βwe need to move from βfocusing on βchemical imbalancesββ¦ to focusing more on βpower imbalancesβ.
The whole thing is utter bollocks from start to finish, and the fact that James Corden, with the size of following that he has, just tweeted his support of such irrelevant, redundant, inaccurate bullshit, is unbelievably dangerous.Β
And letβs face it,Β James Corden has said more unforgivably ignorant things in the last 12 months than most people do in a lifetime
