Founded in 2020 by Lucas James, SSRI emerged as a contemporary unisex fashion brand with a distinctive focus on conveying thought-provoking and relatable messages, thoughts, and emotions through clothing.

Lucas James, the creator of SSRI, has navigated a lifetime of challenges stemming from OCD and anxiety disorders. Art and clothing have served as outlets for channeling the chaos within, creating a bridge between his inner and outer worlds. He recognizes the difficulty of articulating the internal struggles that many individuals face, and the importance of expressing these sentiments through any available means. This realization paved the way for the birth of SSRI.

Having relied on Zoloft, a widely prescribed SSRI medication for many years, Lucas often grappled with a sense of otherness or "weirdness." It was during this journey that he discovered the vast number of people prescribed such medication for conditions like anxiety, depression, and OCD, each harboring their own untold stories related to mental health.

Our objective with SSRI is to shatter the stigma surrounding mental health and initiate open dialogues with people. He understands the liberating sensation that accompanies conversing with someone who can relate to your unique experiences.

Many individuals believe that nobody understands the depth of their feelings, leading to self-imposed isolation. Through SSRI, we aspires to translate our thoughts and emotions onto clothing, thereby generating a more extensive narrative and discourse around mental health. We want people to realize that others can empathize with their thoughts and emotions, illuminating the path toward hope.

At SSRI, we hope our garments can provide solace during times of sadness, serving as a conduit for the chaos within. We aim to empower individuals to stand boldly and engage in conversations surrounding mental health and emotions, reinforcing the idea that no one is alone, and greatness awaits on the horizon.

We believe in you. The world believes in you.

With Love,

SSRI
