glad someone else is figuring out the junk food connection to depression, the gut acts like a primary brain and talks to your upper brain constantly.

I was prescribed Zoloft in 2004 from a doctor that said I had anxiety and it immediately made me feel like a complete brain dead zombie. I got off it without talking to the dr and never went back to her again. I later learned my Dad had a similar experience. Meanwhile I know people that have been on these drugs for years, including my brother, and their behavior is completely off the wall. They have emotional issues, tend to be completely irrational and they can’t get along with others.
They’ve lied about causation in many illnesses to promote unsafe drugs you have to take for the remainder of your life. And the recommendations to take the drugs, like statins, have been changing to earlier ages. But many people don’t want to take responsibility for anything in their life and popping pills vs changing your lifestyle is going to keep this fraud going strong. And sadly all this pharma crap is washing back into our drinking water, food, etc so it is hard to avoid it all.

Years ago I lost a lot of weight quite quickly. It frightened me so badly I was pretty frantic going into the doc's office. I teared up a couple of times while explaining my problem. Rightly so, I was worried about my health. Before I was finished, doc was scribbling on a pad. Even before getting the forms ready for me to take and get blood work and tests done, I was handed a scrip for Effexor. 😳
Like, realllllllly?!
I'm not depressed! I'm terrified I have cancer or something.
Never filled the scrip, never went to that doc again.

Hello! Thank you for your comment; one of my friends is a big fan of your sub stack.
I have heard of a lot of examples of disease branding, but I think inventing a word for depression takes the cake. Thank you for sharing that one; I will probably use it in the future.
A lot of evidence that has emerged over the years indicating the serotonin for depression was something a marketing firm cooked up.
My own belief is that the primary cause of depression is fluid stagnation within the body (which I recognize is vague because there are so many different types of fluid stagnation that could occur) but I find when this is addressed resolves depression. One researcher, William Walsh, an excellent case that there are five different biochemical abnormalities that cause depression, and if you can identify which one it is and provide the appropriate treatment for it (such as a supplementation) it resolves depression. There is a lot of evidence for his model and it has always astounded at the psychiatric field has not picked it up, considering that many psychiatrists only job is to treat depression and anxiety.
It has been very sad for me see how the general consciousness of my generation and I was born after transformed by SSRIs, as part of a pipeline of neurologically damaging drugs that gradually require more and more neurologically toxic medication's. The classic sales funnel Is birth control pills being given out like candy which causes depression which requires an SSRI which the causes bipolar I, which then requires an antipsychotic to be given which in turn causes even more significant cognitive damage. I have also noticed that the HPV vaccine feeds into this sales funnel because of the neurological damage and psychiatric changes it causes to teenage women on birth control who are on the cusp of needing SSRIs or women on SSRIs who are on the cusp of needing antipsychotics.
I also suspect these changes were deliberate because that change in the consciousness of the masses is necessary for the transhumanists future.
Last time I saw Greta speaking on the television she looked so sad & depleted. I hope she is not being controlled through the evil pumping Big Pharma's poison. No matter your own views with regard to Climate Change & its causes, Greta is a child, what sort of childhood must she have had.
I have suffered with severe and chronic depression for 35 years … my experience with depression is not event related at all. I took SSRIs for many years and experienced relief. It was extremely difficult to get off of those drugs. While the seratonin hypothesis may be wrong, there is something happening in my brain that decreases my functionality. While it may be a misnamed disease attributed to false causes and treated in a way that enriches big pharmas, it is overreaching to write off depression as a real thing that plagues many people
Dr. Peter Breggin, the most ethical psychiatrist for years telling of these dangers. The biggest problem with these potent antidepressants is that they are so hard to withdraw from after years of use. This is a deadly path to go down, and so many were put on this path in the 1990s, still trying to get off them.
Anyone who knows anything at all about Japanese history will be quite aware that Japanese people have been killing themselves for quite a long time before SSRI’s came along.
Consider the need for antidepressants. First the vaccines damage the brain and create a whole host of issues including anxiety, depression and the general inability to understand what is happening in body and mind. True to form, Big Pharma creates the problem and is first on the scene with a solution. In this case, antidepressants. They work for a short time then fail.. Sound familiar? This sets the stage for another round of vaccines followed by more anti-depressants.
Aiding and abetting Big Pharma is the media to whom they pay large amounts of money. Media pushes movies, TV, magazines and news about lifestyles of the rich and famous. Yachts, private jets, resorts full of beautiful people. You realize this isn't you they're talking about and no matter how hard you work it will never be you. Yet it's put in front of your eyes on billboards, the sides of buses, at subway stops. Then you see another miracle drug being advertised that is new, better and practically guarantees that you'll feel better once you take it. Off to the doctor you go and it begins again.
The world is being shaped, distorted and poisoned by snake oil merchants who have graduated to global genocidal maniacs.

I fell for the antidepressants for about 20 years. Probiotics and non gmo food & gluten free (glyphosate free ?) food helps more than any medication.

midwestern doctor has done brilliant work on the ssri scam https://amidwesterndoctor.substack.com/p/the-evidence-for-antidepressants
biochemical mechanism is same as cocaine. know any old cokeheads?
Brilliant commentary. Thanks.

Just a suggestion, we should be writing Big pHARMa; Far more appropriate.

Demoralization isn’t depression
Another good one 2nd SG!! 💜 Love the meme!
