Dean, I love you, but this is a ridiculous statement.
Taking anti-depressants will never take away anyone's cynicism or creativity or ability to hate the world.
People who want to get stronger: go to a gym
People who want to get thinner: stop eating fast food
People with an imbalance in brain chemicals: go to mental health provider
Your brain is a giant sack organ of chemicals. Serotonin, dopamine, and others rule your perception of the world. Too much or too little dictate your entire life. If these are out of whack; You. Are. Fucked.
It's incredibly admirable, (and just plain ol adult) that Danny is choosing to address this. To be proactive. To act on an instinct of 'Hey this just doesn't feel right.'
I hate that we buy into this notion of 'organic/ way-we-are-shouldn't be tampered with' mentality. It's faulty thinking and it's dangerous.
You know how meth heads are so strung out on a chemical drug that they're convinced that that reality is real? The same is with your all natural occurring drugs in your brain. These drugs are so powerful that, (just like street drugs) they convince you not stop. Not to change. That the miserable concoction, that is your brain, needs to continue.
Danny, Mean Danny, and all the other characters Danny creates won't go away just because Happy Danny is introduced. They can coexist.
Good for Danny. Honestly though, I would have kept the beard
