Big pharma would not support this viewpoint.

Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once . Breathe . You're strong . You got this . Take it day by day .

Some people suffered severe trauma in the past. Not being able to cope with it properly can cause depression. Some people have no idea that something in their past was traumatic and is causing their depression. Deep therapy can heal this. Also sometimes it is a vitamin or mineral defeciency. Meds should be the last resort, but they are not.

And people have been taking all that anti-depression meds for decades. 40+ year olds taking them since age 20... Thank god my neurologist (epilepsy) told me to avoid that shit like the plague.

[donphillips]

All I know is that I can tell if my friend has stopped taking his meds. and its not good.

[julien]

I can't imagine after 35 years of ever being able to come off them. And please, please people this woman doesnt say it strongly enough do NOT just stop your meds suddenly on your own that is sooo DANGEROUS.

Maybe if governments gave their people better lives and more prosperity, there wouldn't be so many depressed people. Don't see too many crooked politicians suffering from depression, do you?

[jeremyaltom]

I’m really surprised they let this paper out without absolutely smearing her.

[Criwindustries]

Can I get an applause for the beautiful warm presenter?

[lazersly]

I'm all about applying science to depression and other mental situations.

[heartland]

My depression is normally brought on by panic attacks.

[pissedoffpennsylvanian]

What about the anti-depressants that don’t work and/or cause worsening depression but the loony ass indoctrinated psych doctors who are/were too arrogant to listen to patient/patients can they sue for endangering one’s well being?

What is serotonin doing to the brain, then?

I will say antidepressants did help me to sleep which lead to more clear thinking. With my MD and Thetapist we have a slow taper off if everything plan. Because antidepressants change brainpathways and make new ones.
NEVER STOP YOUR MEDS COLD TURKEY. EVER. ALWAYS MAKE A PLAN WITH YOUR DOCS.

Everyone is different.
Another study trying to create a set of groupings with marginal likeness.
I fought my doctors and psychologist for years stating pills won’t work for me and I needed to deal with this on my own through different action methodologies, exercise and food intake modification.
Nothing worked. Not in the slightest.
I finally gave up believing this is the way my life will be.
A calm conversation with my physician and a what the hell, I’ll give it a try as I was covered through medical so no money wasted.
It wasn’t me who noticed the difference but my family and friends after about six weeks.
So, I balk at the overarching placebo affect which is mentioned as I had no faith in any drug working.
Do I care how it’s working. Absolutely not.
Do I enjoy life now. Pandemic aside, yes.

For me stress triggers my mental health issues anxiety and depression when I relieve my stress with exercise, rest and doing something I enjoy, I don't get depression.
But if I try to relieve my depression by staying in bed, it makes it worse. I try to rest but going for a walk now instead.

Seratonin reuptake is associated with depression, and fixing that symptom helps. To an extent. But there are better treatments, they just aren’t widely available, Ie. Esketamine, and rTMS. I tried every antidepressant on earth, but nothing helped til rTMS.

It has always been a spiritual matter, not in the magical or superstitious sense, but in the mechanism that leads to depression, if you fix your mind on something that is bad, it will go bad for you, if your wife left you, well, it will hurt, but if you cling to it and make decisions in that state, everything will get worse, living in the past is wrong too, leave that, what happens is that you cannot understand that in this world feelings are not really important, they are our actions ....by taking the right actions, we will be at peace, if you live stressed, it must be because of the way you live, bad decisions, all of them accumulating through the years, all that makes your perception of things wrong to the point that you hate father used to say that life is beautiful but you have to know how to live it, he was certainly a man who went through many things, he was extremely disciplined and if he promised something he fulfilled it regardless of the cost... .our world becomes more and more atheistic and attentive to pleasure, We spend too much, we bring children into the world without love, which in turn multiplies the misery of the
