Clinical depression is caused by an inability to cope with reality. Period. Poor child rearing, victimized kids, godlessness, broken homes and society. Let's get out of this Babylonian system and I'm betting shit clears up when the truth gets shoved up their asses.
Our children are told there is no God, their lives have no ultimate meaning, the universe is just the product of an accidental cosmic burp, they're just going to rot in the ground when they die, and there's no point to it all, so they may as well be apathetic while they're here, because no one cares.
Yes, this was a concocted sales pitch, by Big Pharma. People tell me all the time they have a "chemical imbalance", and that is why they are depressed. I say: What makes you think so? No answer, of course. I would like to point out, yet again, that our bodies make AT LEAST 200 different neurotransmitters, and some scientists say the number should be around 700! So, hundreds of neurotransmitter are being created every minute of every day, because this iwhat runs our bodies and minds. Now, armed with this information, do you really think that upping the dose of ONE neurotransmitter is going to fix your mood problem? If so, you are actually crazy!! I don't use that word, except in jest. Let's just say you are woefully misinformed. Since humans don't have the ability to balance neurotransmitters, and only have the ability to screw things up, it's best not to start taking manmade drugs that purport to do this.
What could be better? So many things: Praying to God, eating a nutritionally balanced diet (We DO have this knowledge and ability), maintaining good relationships (counseling helps here) exercising to promote endorphins, and doing things that give you satisfaction and pleasure (You name it!).
Drugs can and do affect the mind, but this is not a good thing. Drugs can take control of your mind, feelings and will, all of which should be under the control of the soul. So drugs are not the answer. Yes, if you experience a horrific event, and are overwhelmed, a bit of a calming agent might be a really short term fix, but it is not recommended for a long term solution, since ALL psych drugs, if taken long enough, can cause dementia. So. that is the long and short of it. No psych drugs!!
It is NOT a hoax. The "chemical imbalance" is real. Many people have been helped greatly by taking antidepressants. I'm not saying they are perfect. I'm not saying they haven't hurt people. I've seen both sides. I have a close relative who committed suicide soon after starting on antidepressants. I have a closer relative who struggled with "clinical depression" her whole life until getting on an antidepressant and she is a totally different and healthy person now. I myself developed crushing and debilitating anxiety. I took antidepressants for over a year. The anxiety cleared up. Under a doctors care I tried to get off the antidepressants but the anxiety returned. I'm currently still on the antidepressant and I'm doing well. I still hope to one day get off this drug.
Don't make blanket statements you think covers everyone under every circumstance. "Clinical depression is caused by an inability to cope with reality. Period. Poor child rearing, victimized kids, godlessness, broken homes and society." What a foolish thing to say. Could these things cause depression? of course. But to generalize this is the cause for everyone is ridiculous.
Show me the lab-test that determines which of the 200-600 brain chemicals and how each are imbalanced. Oh wait, it doesn't exist and they lied just to have a "sounds good" sales pitch.
Quite a few degenerates in high school used to subtle-brag about having a chemical imbalance and which meds they've been prescribed. It sounded cool to them.
Thank you for saying this. I had to gone on antidepressants a few years ago. I came down with massive anxiety and couldn’t sleep. Felt like a grizzly bear was chasing me 24/7. Shortly after my thyroid popped out of my neck. But since I wasn’t an easy textbook case on my blood work I was gaslighted by many doctors who said I was fine. I spent over a year resisting taking antidepressants because I was scared they would make worse.
My one regret is that I didn’t take them sooner. Whatever happened with my thyroid left my brain in hell. I finally broke down and took the antidepressants when a kind nurse at the sleep disorder center believed me and showed me compassion and said that I needed something in the meantime while the doctors figured it all out.
I would not be here today if antidepressants didn’t work. They’re one of those miracle medicines discovered to work on depression and anxiety by accident. I do agree they are overprescribed by doctors who like to blow off their patients, and I suspect that’s where the negative experiences are coming from. If your brain doesn’t actually need them then they can really mess it up. But they work wonders on the rest of us

Good comment. There is good and bad in everything. I used to think the same way as some people who have commented here. They are ignorant. The best lessons are learned through first hand experience. Antidepressants are tools. Any tool can be misused. But as you said, in the right situation it can be life changing.
you are wrong. dead fuckin wrong. chemical imbalance? compared to what? It's an excuse. Sure it works for some people, but so do sugar pills and a good story.
I've just lost respect for people who post on this forum. Those of you who are throwing the baby out with the bath water do not know what you're talking about. If you don't have direct experience or expertise in this area then just STFU. You are showing your ignorance and giving a bad name to others on this forum. Anyone who says something is 100% good or 100% bad is an idiot. When you say something like that you just show how ignorant you are. Simpleton9 out!

OF COURSE THEY'RE DEPRESSED
Yup. More reasons. There's so many!!
antidepressants kill more than people realize
They also admit we have two distinct parts... The physical and the spiritual. Depression isn't associated with the brain.
Maybe people are depressed because they realize they are living in a damn Matrix. Just sayin'.
Then they chose the blue pill
I think they realize in a subconscious way. The blue pill doesn't really work anyhow.
I wouldn't be surprised, my sibling only got worse after going on those drugs for an "imbalance".
Class action law suits incoming.
Next do "fossil fuels."

these meds have lower overall "results" vs placebo studies - that saids it all
