Depression and over medication

There are several strategies, other than medication than can help a person when they are depressed. In this video we consider the problem of depression, which is a real illness. It is also noted that antidepressants can be a first and only resort. There is an argument that antidepressants are overprescribed. Whether they are prescribed or not other strategies should also be
considered. These include assessment of nutritional deficiency, such of lack of vitamin D. A good diet with plenty of fibre to promote the microbiome. Getting exercise and promoting good quality sleep and improving social interactions.

    The most significant reason I am depressed is that I see criminals in positions of power go unpunished while I am spending more and more money to cover basic needs. Is it a sickness or a reasonable response to lawlessness and living a life surrounded by overwhelming network of lies?

There's a complex chemical connection between our environments, relationships and interactions with others and our body chemistry. These two doctors need to study what's happening in the modern psychology world. Few would advocate for drugs. Rather, the better solution is to look at a person's environmental and relational triggers and deal with them.

    I nearly lost my son because of the wrong medication. A new pharmaceutical got on the market in 2013 Xeplion from Canadá. It crushed all my sons muscles. I had to demand the hospital. They didnt allow me to visit my son during Christmas 2015 while he was in the psychiatry. Instead, the head of departament tried to close me off there to. I escaped in the last minute. Gathered myself and demanded him and I won. My son has been released and the medication has been cancelled by another hospital because of the severe side effects it had. He could not control any of his muscles. My son himself told me later that I was right, he should never have been gone to a psychologist cause this send him to a psychiatrist where his calvary started. I lost my business, my job, had to move back to our home country 3000 km away, but I did not lose my son 😛 Do not believe what a doctor tells you, just because he or she owns this title.

    I saw tons of psychiatrists when I went through a few years of depression. None of them ever did a blood test or any brain imaging to find out what the problem was. They just prescribe drugs immediately. And when one doesn't work they add another. Then another. Always looking for that elusive "right combo for you"... After years of their trial and error I never did find the right combo. The antidepressants messed up my endocrine system and gave me low testosterone. This caused numerous other health problems and worse depression. My lesson: Doctors don't know how to cure depression. They can certainly make it worse though.

    Have you had any vitamin tests since then? I was exactly like you, but managed to fix my endocrine system through diet, lifestyle, and exercise. I've been "depressed" for 20 years. Turns out I was dealing with malnutrition/deficiencies. In the last year I've gone through a second puberty, as much as you can as an adult. Really, it's just my testosterone returning to a normal level after being suppressed since my teens. My voice is deeper, I gained tons of facial hair, I was horny every other day, and was gaining muscle so fast that guys at the gym think I'm on something. I did all of it by following a ketogenic diet, overloading with eggs, supplementing with zinc, magnesium, boron, vit d, vit c. Also I quit drinking, and all processed foods. Since xmas I fell off the bandwagon and have felt my test plummet again.

    There are protocols for every situation in the Healthcare industry. No MD is an individual, who makes his own mind. We noticed that, about Covid !!!!!! It is indeed an industry ! Pharma is tightly connected to everything. Meds never heal or cure, but they perhaps, especially in psychiatry, lessen aggressive reactions. It is ironic to hear the informed consent about a med for depression ; there is always the possibility of death ! Well !!! Hello ! we are trying to avoid that ! not make it come faster..Pharma uses subliminal commercials to promote new drugs. They disclose everything while the camera focusses on attractive, happy people, having fun, saying, they are taking the stuff ! BINGO ! the masses will ask their MD"s for that prescription, who will be happy to write it, as he could be getting new office furniture for doing so.......Wink....wink........

Her Dr started her on Lexipro and almost immediately she gained 20 lbs and couldn't remember to take the pills daily. We changed her to a time release anti depressant that she took once a week, which worked well for both of us to keep track. It was a 2 yr plan. She became part of the family again and actually laughed and had fun. She made the choice to discontinue the drug after about 1 yr 6 months. She went on to college and has become a well rounded young woman. Family support is essential. Thank you for your discussion Doctors!

    It took my parents nearly 10 years to understand my ongoing fight to manage my depression by natural means, and the least productive and most most exhausting part of it was fighting a system that tried to push me onto medications. Until I compared it to their resistance towards 'flu shots pushed upon them my the system, beginning in the early aughts, and my attitude gained some msm support. By 2014, enough issues around anti-d drugs were creeping into the fringes of the mainstream, that my long-held alt health beliefs in general, began to make sense to them. Although they had other alternatives, both of them turned their health/medical care over to me, in their terminal fights with cancer. They would have rejected the coof jab, had it arrived in their lifetimes...At one point, I was so low that I almost took the stab, but I awoke the next morning in a cold sweat, because my mother, who had always promised to haunt me, did. The only thing worse than waking up in a cold sweat, was the prospect of not waking up at all. Depressed, unwaxed, unmedicated, I love Dr. John, who looks and sounds just like my late dad. It has been my honour to Follow the Science, just as he would have told me to do. Bless you, Dr. John Campbell, Love scared and lonely CaptiveInCanada

    I've have severe OCD, Anxiety, depression, and panic disorder. I've been on SSRIs and Benzos since I was 13 (now 37). Currently on 200mg zoloft and .5mg of Klonopin. Working to get off of Klonopin. I cycle 3 to 4 days a week and do upper body work the other days. That helps dramatically. Getting 8 hours of sleep a night. Taking vitamin D. Also have pernicious anemia so I've been in B12 for 2 years now. I believe medications has helped me and likely saved my life. That said, many people do not need these medications. So many people get zero exercise, terrible sleep, over stressed, bad diets etc.

    I’m on sertraline for OCD too. Although on only 50mg. During the pandemic, and after long covid, and the illness and death of a close friend, my OCD spiralled out of control. At the lowest dose it took nearly a year for the drug to take effect positively. It helped me through two more losses… I mean, in a weakened state, OCD is opportunistic. Definitely sleep is key!! And eating well. And some exercise. 😉

    To me what helps me with depression is realizing I was depressing my feelings all together so I would go into a negative and numb state. I am learning to accept my feelings as mesengers that want to help me moving forward. Negative feelings are warning signs. Allowing those feelings and trying to understand the message helps me a lot and that gave room for more positive feelings again. Feelings come and go as we understand them.

I had to go off of these meds and the withdrawal symptoms were HORRENDOUS! So I am now using vitamins and herbal remedies. I still cry way too much and am so emotional. Someone tried to put me on a med that can cause serotonin syndrome. I took 2 days of it and stopped immediately once I learned that. Other meds were tried but I did not tolerate them well. So I am listening hard to what is being said here. I do take vitamin d with vitamin k, vitamin b complex, omega 3's, magnesium, lion's mane, Rhodiola rosea, pro biotic and pre biotic and others I can't think of right now.

    As a national board certified psychotherapist with independent licensure I’m so thankful for this video! Too often I have people who believe they have a “chemical imbalance” which we know there is no scientific validity. A lot of people in my experience become victim to the drugs and lose faith in their ability to help themselves. I do believe in some circumstances medication is absolutely necessary to help them calm down enough to be able to learn and implement new skills. The misinformation about where serotonin is created is harmful and people often have no idea how these drugs work (if/when) they work. I think we should be promoting proper nutrition and exercise along with talk therapy. The narrative there is something wrong with us and we can’t help ourselves with or without support continues to have disheartening impacts on humanity. Again, there are times and situations that warrant treatment that includes medication but we are way over prescribing.
