Getting a SSRI is a whole damn thing

Lot of drugs - mental health, low cholesterol, low blood pressure -- a lot of drugs along the lines of "take them rest of your life" -- ought to be OTC you ask me. Of course medicine would hate that because the red tape of going in, checking a box, and getting a script, is a nice little profit center. Not as much as racket as say spine surgeries, but a bread & butter small time racket. Here's a question, has anyone tried making these OTC and measuring risk & reward, deaths vs lives saved? Or measure healthcare costs? Because I'm willing to venture lots of lives would be helped, families whole, at a much lower cost.
