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?
Clown world. Links below.
Agree. I suspect that the specific chemical imbalance they believe was erroneously linked relate to seratonin or dopamine but IDK. The drugs they are talking about are mostly reuptake if I am not mistaken. I can speak from my own experience that hormonal changes are definitely mood altering.
Most definitely! It runs in my family for sure.
