Following on from atwater's post....
Good sleep is well evidenced to be more effective than anti depressants. Additionally it has the added benefit of universally working for everyone, whereas ssri meds only work for some
On the subject of ssri, it is pretty conclusive now they do not do what we thought they did (stop serotonin depletion in the brain) the scientific community know they DO work for some, but have no idea why. That's why getting the med dosage right is still an art not a science and why often many changes to the type and potency of meds are required.
Lifestyle choices are so important, social connection and meaningful relationships are crucial also..... Much more significant statistically than meds, (but you will never read a study supporting this unless you really dig as so many studies into drug efficacy are sponsored by pharmaceutical companies)
This will blow your mind...... The same drug can have multiple clinical trials..... They only publish the trials that support the effectiveness of the drug and are not required by law to disclose that several other trials identified no improvement, or that the placebo had the same results
Pharma commercials are absolute poison.
when i first started watching NFL via internet subscription - it was the first time i had ever saw those commercials as the streams just come from US tv! They are unreal!
I believe it is only you and New Zealand that allow this.
"Ask your doctor if ............ is right for you. Side effects can cause symptoms much worse that the ailment you currently have!"
The financial incentives doctors get from pharmaceutical companies creates a huge conflict of interest, IMO.
We need a lot more mental health doctors and facilities.
If I didn't have kids and shit, I'd probably have done something a long time ago. Instead, I sleep and read too ******* much and don't like leaving home because then I come in contact with the very humans I despise. I do family stuff and I've cut off having friends, because people are mostly just shitty and they let you down and try to **** your ex husband or some other tomfoolery that just makes you think...**** all these ****** up people. :shrugs:
If it's any indication of what I think of humans, the people I am closest to and feel are family are all of you. Online friends don't usually **** you over in the ways people do in daily life.
