Prozac (fluoxetine) is an antidepressant and for people who are afflicted with clinical depression (like me) it is a lifesaver – in some cases literally. It does not work immediately and thus would not calm someone down like a sedative would. Depression is not a “personality trait” let alone abnormal. It is an actual disease that can be treated and, if left untreated, can end in suicide. People with depression should not be stigmatized or belittled and their disease should not be treated with mockery. And to the inevitable commenter who will tell me to lighten up because “it’s only a comic strip”: putting something in a comic strip does not justify it or minimize its negative impact.
Yes, because no adult ever has a chemical imbalance in the brain since childhood and, therefore, should have to make their lives a living hell because someone else thinks their adult ADHD isn’t real.
Yes, I’m being sarcastic. I thought I’d point that out for the sarcasm impaired.

ADHD meds: it’s just legal speed but it still kills. It’s a crutch. Doesn’t solve the problem.

And some of those “abnormal personalities” make comic strips instead of taking the drugs.
