That may or may not be true. People are diverse in their psychology and situations.
Sure, most or many people are probably exaggerating.
That said, I have known a lot of suicidal people, and almost arbitrarily things can make a big difference.
It's true that a lot of people medicate themselves in various ways. It doesnt mean an SSRI doesn't work for a lot of people. This sounds like a very dismissive statement.
