Scientists Find No Evidence That Depression Is Caused by “Chemical Imbalance” or Low Serotonin Levels
A comprehensive review by University College London scientists challenges the widely-held belief that depression is caused by a serotonin imbalance. The research, encompassing numerous studies and tens of thousands of participants, found no clear evidence ...
Depression is caused by being repeatedly and relentlessly inculcated that you don't matter, that none of your choices matter, that there is no God to give your life true value, that you are the product of a meaningless cosmic burp, and that everything you ever do, say or accomplish will be incinerated when the sun expands.
FUCKING DUH
That's a good analysis. Thanks
That's all you want, 5 cents? they want 5 millions.
Yes. And past traumas
Those types deserve our genuine sympathies.
Probably. I'm on a parasite cleanse right now. I hope it works.
I regret I have just one up doot to give for that.
Unmet expectations.
And that you should hate all past, present and future spawn in your family tree, especially yourself, who all deserve the [select choice of anti-human armageddon narrative] that will one day be visited upon y’all. See also: Western state education curricula.
Parasites
Love me some pure pine gum turpentine. That parasite will know better to infest the super Chad that uses that stuff. Parasite will be thinking,” He just drank the same stuff he cleaned his paint brushes with, WTF! That’s a bad man! I’m not feeling so good”.
Any side effects ???
Other than these SOBs being shat out into the porcelain throne ??
What’s your regimine
I usually take a tsp everyday with fruit juice for about 10 days.
Oh, I forgot to mention, it must be “pure pine gum” turpentine. This isn’t what you buy at a hardware store, it’s made from petroleum products. I know that seems obvious, but I would hate to have someone inadvertently use the wrong stuff. Pure pine gum turpentine is made in Georgia and is available online. The taste isn’t so bad, but I must admit I don’t think I would ever have a gin and pine gum turpentine for instance.
I’ve been using it. Along with sugar and a spoon of castor oil
You think it might be parasites? I moved away from the NW and now I don't need to take them. No more depression because I am a lot sunnier now.
Sun is a good thing. Vitamin D.
I appreciate sun. Amen.
While doing a dig on parasites, I came across some studies with schizo, bipolar, and t. gondii (a parasite). There have been very few studies done even though there seems to be a correlation. Shockingly, I would guess there’s not a lot of funding for finding a potential cure to mental health. Anyway, it’s found in a lot of things, cat poo, seafood (bottom crawlers like crab, crawfish, etc), pork, etc. These parasites have the ability to cross the blood brain barrier and there’s absolute proof of cognitive changes in animals infected. One of the studies suggested the cyst like images of schizo patients could actually be eggs or larvae. Made me wonder if it would help with anxiety or depression? Ivermectin doesn’t hurt, they give it 5yo for lice in other countries. Told my friend about who was staying with me and suffers from depression and anxiety. The second week after doing her first cleanse, she came down super excited and told me “she has no idea how to describe the way she felt when she woke up other than RELIEF”. She still has bouts but WAY less. I’ve shared the story before and another anon who suffers anxiety said he noticed a difference too but never would’ve thought to associate it with his cleanse. Anyway, not medical advice, just sharing a story. Here’s a good place to start and you can click on some of the citations to find other studies.

Edit: some of what got my tinfoil crown tingling was the serum levels and correlation with serum levels. Also the fact that there are very few studies, especially since mental health has now become such a money maker
I really appreciate this info.
Do you mind if I use it elsewhere like on Twitter? Not saying that many will see it but I can share there. This is important info.
I’ve spent some solid time digging into parasites and mental health. There really isn’t a lot out there so it takes time to find info. I was also digging into vitamins and supplements, red light therapy, etc. at the time. Then I picked up a cookbook that belonged to my grandmother and was surprised to see how focused it was on the nutritional value of certain foods correlating with what I was reading. I would talk to my parents or that generation and they used to all take castor oil. It started making some sense to me. When you think about terrain theory, big pharm, the increase in vaccines, the increase in mental health issues, the fact that many countries deparasite, the push for veganism, it all kind of came together for me. I’ve seen first hand what it’s done for people I care about. Again not medical advice, just part of my story. Share away, if it could give one person “relief”, then commenting on this post was well worth it!
The older generation, before the pharma, knows how to care for body and self. I will look into red light therapy also.
It does wonders for everything from skin conditions to internal to mental health. Can buy a cheap one on Amazon.
Thank you, fren. I posted your info to Twitter. Hopefully some people will notice it. I am brand new there.
Psychiatrists?
Any psychiatrist I met I nursing school and the hospital setting all act a little crazy themselves. I believe they mess up the thought process even further, along with the meds they prescribe.
Maybe L. Ron Hubbard was right about one thing...
I used to get seasonal affect disorder (SAD). St. John's Wort helps. You can also take Ignatia 200C.
I would recommend an amino acid, L-tyrosine in addition to the for mentioned above.
Thanks fren. I would look into them. I have been using herbs and homeopathic. I appreciate this.
Look into “Bulk Supplements”,they have high grade supplements by the oz, pound, kilo exc. They are very cost effective and their comments section is a wealth of information in itself. They have an app you can order off of and they are on Amazon. My son bought a small bottle of NAC for a hefty sum, I bought a kilo for the same price.
Oh, okay. I buy NAC also. I will definitely look into Bulk Supplements. Thanks for the tips.
A few friendly words of caution about treating SAD with St. John's Wort:
St. John's Wort messes with one of the most important metabolic enzymes in your liver: CYP3A4. If you're taking other drugs, you must tell your doctor that you're also taking St. John's Wort. Dosage adjustments may be required.
Seasonal Affective Disorder is seasonal (obviously). Likely, the underlying problem is seasonal as well. I've seen good research showing a strong correlation between vitamin D and this condition. Naturally, during winter, we simply don't get access to enough sunlight. This means we don't get visual spectrum light which does contribute to mood, and we don't get enough UV like to make vitamin D and levels may get quite low. If I were going to supplement, I'd supplement vitamin D before I ever tried St. John's Wort. And it's cheap, which helps.
While I know people swear by St. John's Wort, I've never seen much of anything that shows spectacular efficacy for it. It does work, but I'm not sure how robust the effect is. If you have severe depression that won't go away, and particularly if you find yourself having suicidal thoughts, don't try and self-treat with this alone. Please, get help from a licensed doctor before those thoughts turn into attempts. God forbid they'd be successful.
Thank you. I am no longer having that problem. I found out about vit d and so it was very effective plus I am in a lot sunnier place now.
No severe depression, just mild so I could deal with it. Thanks for the advice.
That's why I didn't go to the doc and asked for drugs.
Check your vitamin d levels during winter too.
Oh yeah. I do that.
Also look into red light
I had depression for a long time. A few years back, I got GERD, so I changed my diet to include a lot less sugar. Suddenly, my depression went away.
Thank you. That is one huge one. I cut out sugar also.
Yet another fraud perpetrated by Big Pharma. Psychotropic drugs are the causal reason for chemical imbalances.
Meh, this is a bit of an overstatement.
Depression is a symptom. So much of psychology revolves around how we do "doctoring." By that I mean, a patient comes to the doctor saying this is what's bothering me today, help me feel better. Symptoms lead to diagnosis which leads to treatment recommendations.
This works well for some conditions, especially for acute conditions. If you have an infection, we see the infection, identify the organism, and give you anti-infectives to treat it. Over the years, we've established a pretty wide range of things we can identify as the root cause and treat like this quite successfully.
But then we get to the brain. The brain is an enigma, though few ever want to admit it. We don't understand how it works at all, despite all of our research and all of the brilliant scientists and doctors who've studied it. We don't know what causes consciousness. We barely understand sleep. And mood is still a great mystery.
We thought we had a handle on it when we tried increasing serotonin and found that it worked. No, not immediately, but give it 4-6 weeks and enough serotonin and we even out mood. We turn you into a zombie, but we stop the depression. See the process? We give a drug, or the patient takes it himself (this is the history of schizophrenia, too, btw), doctors noticed that some of the symptoms seem to resolve. Figure out what the drug is changing in the brain, and develop better drugs to boost neurotransmitter X and test those as a potential treatment. This is how psychiatry developed, and largely, still today, it still does operate this way. Then, 20 years later, we look back on the research and we find that our "solution" doesn't actually correlate nearly as well as we thought it should, and we have to go back to square one in trying to understand what exactly is the underlying cause of the problem. We just don't understand the brain. We make a lot of highly educated guesses.
The point is that chemical imbalances don't explain psychology nearly as well as we think, whether caused naturally or by Pharma. And we need to stop pretending to understand that which we don't.
We do know what consciousness is and where it lives, it's in a hydrophobic pocket in our microtubules which are full of hydrocarbons organized in a quantum superposition state.
This is yet another rabbit hole, a very deep one leading to God.

"Meh", Who said anything about psychology? I certainly didn't. You brought this up. All I said was --"Psychotropic drugs are the causal reason for chemical imbalances." The connection to mass shootings is remarkable. It is also censored.
I have posted several times over the years on this subject. Mass shootings are almost exclusively linked to psychotropic drugs. Take a look at the research I've put together regarding the listing of mass shootings and the psychotropic drugs each killer was on. The last updates on this is from 2018. However, I have been posting on this subject for well over a decade. On 04-15-23 I posted the mass shooting listing here.
In regards to the field of psychology, to which you brought up, I absolutely agree with you. In fact I have posted repeatedly on this subject for over 7 years now. On 03-03-22, I commented on mental diseases and the psychiatry profession being a complete fraud. Also, I commented on this on 05-15-22 and on 05-29-22. Did you know there are no definitive laboratory tests for any so-called mental disorders? No biological markers, saliva tests, brain scans, genetic assays, nothing. All so-called mental disorders are concocted, named, labeled, described, and categorized by a committee of psychiatrists, from menus of human behaviors. During the 'COVID' P[L]andemic and on 06-17-22, I connected the science fraud in psychiatry spreading to the medical field using SADS and SIDS as the example. I commented here saying--
"It's official, medicine is now run by a by a committee of 'experts' who concoct, name, label, describe, and categorize disease.
No longer are there no definitive laboratory tests for so-called syndromes or disorders.. No biological markers, saliva tests, chest x-rays, genetic assays, nothing. It started with SIDS. The concocted 'syndrome' as a result of vaxxxine toxicity.
It use to be that medical science, and disease-research in particular, rested on the notion that you can make a diagnosis backed up by lab tests. Not anymore.
If you can’t produce lab tests, you’re spinning fantasies. If a test were not the standard of proof, we wouldn’t have science at all, and that would mean our whole profession rests on nothing—and that is unthinkable, so therefore a test doesn’t matter.”
That logic is no logic at all. That science is no science at all. So, what is it then?
Medicine now serves its master; the government. Dr. Allen Frances who was perhaps the most powerful psychiatrist in America at the time…” said:
“Diagnosis is part of the magic…you know those medieval maps? In the places where they didn’t know what was going on, they wrote ‘Dragons live here’…we have a dragon’s world here. But you wouldn’t want to be without the map.”
Dragons! We're talking about Peter, Paul, and Mary's "Puff The Magic Dragon"!
Anybody that puffs the dragon (today's medicine) is out of their minds. The whole profession is now bullshit that serves fascist governments and its accomplice, the pharmaceutical industry! Look out. That's precisely where we are now.
Another posting I made ties the use of Psychiatry with the war on a virus. The war on 'COVID-19' is really an extension to the former official 'declaration of war' on terrorism' that President George Bush publicly announced shortly after 9-11 in 2001. This was used to enact the police state in America. The fiction of terrorists being everywhere is no different than the SARs-CoV2 virus. Instead of metal detectors and backscatter X-ray machines, we are forced to submit to PCR tests in order to travel and work. Do you see the expansion of the police state here? Just as America's 'war on terror' has been an irrational exaggeration, the war on COVID-19 is the same where we are now forced to submit to invasive medical testing is now endlessly enforced. The coerced vax☠xination of the public is still ongoing.
What specifically constitutes 'terrorism'? Who is specifically the enemy?
Terrorism is not ever really defined. It can be anywhere, anyone, at anytime. The root word for 'terrorism' is 'terror' and is defined when a person or people feels "intense, sharp, overmastering fear", whether real or not. In other words, it is a psychological state of mind. It is impossible to declare war on an psychological state of mind. Yet, this is precisely what has occurred. The word terrorist is constantly evolving and now can mean a person or thing that is especially annoying or unpleasant to an opposing party.
The 'war on terrorism' is actually a PsyOp used on the American people. I believe this has it's origins in the divorce industry used by lawyers to weaponize parental custody battles. Yes, you heard me right. As incredible as this sounds, there is a huge payoff for lawyers and anyone involved in this industry. As it so often turns out, following the money leads us to the source. More can be read here.
Psychology is very good at altering the definitions of words and phrases, especially if they can invent a new illness they can treat with the usual methods of psychology.
They will never change.
Plus all the mass murderers in school were on them.
That could be a coincidence.
Maybe the kids who turned out to be mass murderers were abused at home, thus put on antidepressants.
OR...
Maybe the psychiatrists were messing with their minds.
OR...
Maybe it was a combination of all three things:
But the only thing that would leave an obvious paper trail is the prescription.
It could be coincidence but still would be one factor.
Oh depression I know him well ....
Here's what I know. Depression is really nothing more than, you know, feeling blue, being down in the dumps, it really is nothing more. Don't let someone convince otherwise. As for textbook depression, sure, I've seen that too. They usually succeed at killing themselves. I think that's because no one really knows they have clinical depression? Maybe, that's a hard one. As for things like serotonin imbalance? That I do believe. Why? ...
I am constantly shocked looking into what us humans consume. I am a believer you are what you eat. And if we are honest, we eat a lot of chemicals, for starters. Plus, speaking for myself, eat a lot of REALLY nice things, and they are really bad for you. Sorry but its true.
If you consume all that is offered you? Then yes, I believe you'll end up sick. How sick, that I think is the reason a lot of people suffer from ailments, like depression, addiction and other nasty habits. Its all related to our diet, but here is the number one cause of our suffering ...
Stress. And that is no joke either.
If you suffer from stress, then yeah, that's a hard one. Really you can go either way. Stress effects in ways that are outright scary. Heart Attack? Try Panic Attack. All I would say to anyone suffering from this? IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE BUT NOT DANGEROUS. Repeat that to yourself until it becomes MORE real, than the lies your anxiety wants you to believe. IF you do this, your anxiety will leave you never to return. I will say, most people try to stop their anxiety. They end up in a loop of constant anxiety. Repeat It's Uncomfortable But Not Dangerous. That's all you need.
Here's what I say to ANYONE who suffering from ANY form of mental illness. Do the following: Just be nice for a change. Really. It will do you the world of good. This is not religion, its just a fact. Try it, see if I'm lying. Be nice. I know ..What?!?
Be nice, use your manors. Say please, with a smile and thank you, when someone is nice in return. That's ALL you need. If everyone was nice? ...that's all that's wrong with this world, if you take an honest look at what's happening. People lost, or they forgot, or they just don't care, maybe money? who really knows. What I do know is, if you be nice, you'll find a whole new world - all around you. Yes, it really does come down to perspective.
That's all /rant over.
I also believe that depression is obviously a result of this debt-slavery system.
What I rarely see mentioned is that they've also created this individualistic, narcissistic culture. The sole focus on SELF.
I've seen it many times and heard it many times. Once you start helping others in need, your purpose, your nature truly comes out and that depression is wiped out.
Got some spoiled kids? Take them to the children's hospital to volunteer and help those kids who are really suffering and getting a real dose of life. Figuring out that we should be grateful rather than wanting.
Gratitude, faith, and purpose. I truly believe helping others is what God put us on this earth for. Being a example to those who don't have faith and show them what being in the light is. When they see it, they will ask. Then we can point them to the King.
Depression isn't new, it used to be called melancholy but its been rebranded as an illness.
Love your rant. Great perspective. I wish everyone can see this. You should blast this out on the blue bird and see if it goes viral. I believe this.
The boot licking, willfully ignorant zombies depress me.
LOL. I agree.
assuming all other factors are non-effective, then two factors can be found not-effective as well.
imagine that.
anything on the other effective factors that these scientsts care not to discuss, Mr. Fluoride and Mrs. Chlorine ?
Sir EMF would like a word with you, and Mono-a mono sodium glutamate has a bone to pick with you.
Live on well water. No Fluoride or Chlorine. Not enough sunlight in Pacific NW (that's a fact). Moved 2 years ago into the Midwest and the sunlight a lot stronger. Didn't have to take anything until the stormy seasons just recently.
just had a round at the soda fountain
not going back...
They are not good. St. John's Wort works for me.
You know exactly what I am talking about. Yes. I was in WA but a little further south. Still. You know what I mean. It's like living in a dungeon all the time.
I moved to the Midwest and found a lot of happiness because the storms come and gone in a day, not a week. A lot more vitamin d. Happy happy here.
If I can only get rid of chiggers would make me even happier. No chiggers over there, they cannot stand it either.
We looked into CO and we were thinking about it. We had relatives, and friends there, but it went really woke. Plus the tunnels all there for the deep states. Not touching that state.
Thanks.
Any expert in any scientific field will tell you that the more we learn and "know" about any area of science, the more we discover we don't know. The more exploration we do in any arena expands the horizon further. Scratching the surface, so to speak. If you run in to any "experts" that tells you they know it all (in their field), you aren't speaking to an expert, you are speaking to a pompous retard.
amen to that.
Were these the same scientists who claimed the C19 vax was safe and effective?
Most likely so. Follow the money and you will find the science.
Yes, the "chemical imbalance" theory, supposedly using psych drugs to correct the imbalance, is a complete lie, fabricated by Big Pharma to push their poisons. The human body has up to 700 different neurotransmitters, most of which are unknown. No one on earth could ever figure out which ones need "balancing". What drug do is overload the neurons with large amounts of the very few neurotransmitters that are known, thus upsetting the neurons, which frantically strip away receptors for that neurotransmitter so that only lower levels can be accepted. When the receptors are thusly reduced, it produces addiction to the drug. All psych drugs are addictive because of this phenomenon. Don't take them, and especially. don't allow your children to be drugged.
Yeah. I have been saying that those chemical imbalances are not true. We freaking have a drugstore in our brains. When they put something into our body to trigger the release of the drugs from our brains, how do you know which one is depleted. They don't have the inventory, God does.
I could list so many more but I think that’s a good starting point to remove depression.
Amen to all that. Wish I have time to train more.
You can I’m sure if you make time for it!
I recently had my life reset from this scamdemic and despite being lonely at times I’ve never been happier being completely unplugged and my new journey to self discovery is incredible.
That's GREAT. This scamdemic does change lives. I moved from WA to the Midwest and felt great. Lose almost 15 lbs because with extra sunlight, I felt a lot more energy and happier. Moved away from all my family and left them all because they were all like, "Get the vaccines or we don't see you."
"Thanks. Bye."
Very interesting article.
Thanks.

Was he very hard on himself all the time?
Oh, okay. Yes, Definitely narcissist.
10 gallons of 80 octane and 98 octane gas will measure as 10 gallons of gas in the tank, doesn't mean that the engine will perform the same with either.....
Same applies to insulin and diabetes and if volume alone was the metric in determining the occurrence of diabetes then there might be no evidence to suggest that there was such a thing....
This more than likely applies to this as well as quite a few other things.......
Good example.
They knew that just after SSRI's came onto the market, but why bother stopping their prescription when there are squillions in grants available to study how useless SSRI's are?
Interesting. I've seen the drug save lives and I know damn well it's not the placebo effect. These bastards continue to try to keep people from getting the help they need they've been demonizing SSRI drugs since the start yet their creation was a fucking miracle requiring the combined research of three great scientists but people still want to believe the mainstream bullshit. They can fuck off with that shit. They may have spent more money trying to keep people away from antidepressants than they did on Q or Trump. They lie about everything good for us.
