I've got to say, as a kid/teenager/young adult in the 70's and then 80's, my impression was that anti-depressants were ONLY if you'd attempted suicide and then they didn't work all that well. Like, pre-Prozac I think a lot of even pretty seriously depressed people weren't casually taking them, it was a HUGE shift.
I can totally believe Random Straight White Guy in the 60's wouldn't see his depression as a health issue to be treated and might even dream of a day where that was possible!
