The comment never said otherwise. They shared a personal story about how it worked for an adult.


No, they shared a personal story about how they think it worked, ignoring the data saying it likely didn't.


I said "it worked for an adult" because it did. It works. In adults. The article says it doesn't work well in adolescents, not adults. I work in mental health, I assure you fluoxetine works very well, but most drugs are not tested on non-adult populations. So this is a study on a population not normally tested to enhance the dataset we have about fluoxetine. More studies will try to replicate this result, and we'll have even more data about where it works and where it doesn't.
