Why then do SSRIs also work on fibromyalgia, Morgellons, Chronic Lime and Chronic Fatigue?

Morgellons isn’t a real disease. It’s a mental health condition.

SSRIs do not “work on” those other conditions, but depression is highly comorbid with serious chronic illnesses. SSRIs improving some symptoms is to be expected when depression symptoms overlap with the condition.
