My favorite part of the article about why we should keep using antidepressants:
"Many commonly used medicines were used for decades before we understood their mechanisms of action: from aspirin to morphine to penicillin. Knowing they worked provided the impetus for establishing how they worked; and this knowledge generated new treatments."
Given that studies show that anti-depressants don't really work better than placebo, not as compelling argument as this statement would be for, IDK, Ivermectin?

All of psychiatry is based upon lies. The whole edifice is a bunch of lies. The first really big one is: I treat mental illnesses.
There is no such thing as a mental illness. There are diseases or illnesses of the brain, for sure. But there is no mental illness, because the mind is intangible.
I was once told by a neurosurgeon that a disease, by definition, is a gross, chemical or microscopic lesion in the body. It is something that can be seen with the human eye. Failing this, no disease. . We can all agree that there is no actual test for a mental illness. In fact, the "Bible" of psychiatry and all behavioral health, as it is called, is named the "Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders". Note, psychiatrists are trained physicians, and they know what an actual disease is, so they used the word "disorder",
So, there is no actual mental disease or illness, but there definitely ARE mental disorders. However, these fall more properly in the realm of philosophy and self-knowledge, and especially religion.
Psychiatry comes from two Greek words: psyche, meaning "soul" and iatros, meaning "physician or doctor". A psychiatrist is a soul doctor.
Psychiatrists have the highest rates of suicide of any profession. Perhaps this is because they are living a lie. The lie is: Take this pill and you will be cured. And, it never happens. But they keep giving more and more med, creating the feared "Drug Cascade", where more and more pills are given to the patient.
If you were living a complete lie, harming people daily with poisonous drugs, ruining their bodies, minds and souls, you, too might resort to suicide.
But what of the drugs? Do they cure so-called "mental illnesses"? No, they do not. Some people feel "better" when they take them. Some feel nothing, and many feel worse. All this relates to the Cytochrome 450 system of the liver. That is, some people get the drug out of their system quickly, some take longer, and some cannot clear it at all. The latter group often become the school shooters, or homicidal maniacs who kill themselves or others, because their brain has become toxic by taking the psych drugs. Some people go berserk after taking a single pill, and they never even knew this was possible.
If all psych drugs were banned and nutritional treatments were begun, the majority of psychiatric patients could be completely healed. How could this be? Because people are not nourishing themselves properly, and are creating nutritional imbalances in their bodies and brains. But don't think this means "chemical imbalances". That was a sales pitch term created by Big Pharma to sell more and more drugs to the lying psychiatrists.
I guess I have gone on for a while, but getting this out to people is one of my goals in life. This is what I do. I nourish souls and bodies.
