Placebo.

The placebo effect is scientific proof that we have the ability to heal ourselves. Our thoughts are powerful enough to bring things into existence. 👨🏼‍🎓

An observation

Some people with depression get it once, some get it reccurent.

Some people say antidepressants worked after 4-6 weeks, but if they didn't take them, they wouldn't know how long their depression was going to last.

Some people say their anti depressants stopped working eventually so they had to switch to others which again take 4-6 weeks to kick in.... But they don't know if the anti depressants stopped working or if they just got another bout of depression.

Some people get manic on antidepressants, then get labelled as bipolar, but they don't know if it's just a side effect of the antidepressants, they then get given anti psychotics or mood stabilizer.... Call me a cynic, I just know my own experiences of anti depressants. I will never touch them again

The pharmaceutical companies must make a mint off the fact no scientific evidence even needs to exist.

Control of the mind is the best antidepressant, you can make your own chemicals.

[Hidden in reply to gerrerd]

I just can't buy into the anti depressant market, the only tablets that have ever helped me with anxiety, insomnia and depression are zopiclone, they help me relax and sleep which then takes away the edge of the anxiety pain and changes my mood from on the floor to mid way there, once I'm mid way there, I can pull myself out and get back on track again, once I'm up and back at work, I have no need for the zopiclone because I am active enough to make myself tired and busy enough to stop anxious thoughts.

I think long term meds that are to be taken daily should be the very last resort, but GPS love writing them antiD scripts for some reason.

They say you musn't stop taking them, they take 4-6 weeks to kick in.

Then they say they don't like giving sleeping tablets because they can become addictive, even when you have proved that you don't ask for them regularly. My experience with Docs this past 18 months has left me questioning their understanding

Doctors treat the symptoms, not the cause !

[Agora1 in reply to gerrerd]

I so agree with you. x

[Hidden in reply to gerrerd]

Yep and it takes them all of 30 seconds to decided which ones they will offer you. If you dare try and tell them they don't work for you they automatically class you as troublesome

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

Their thinking is to get you back to work as quick as they can by useing meds.

[Hidden in reply to gerrerd]

I don't think that's why they do it, because their are lots of unemployed on them, anti depressants didn't help me stay in work, they made me worse

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

there are millions on them who are working. its all about finance,s

[Orangeblossom85 in reply to gerrerd]

I saw an old lady in the tram today reading: power of subconscious. I think that our mind - what and how we think - can really rule the world. I think that we are what we think of.

[Hidden in reply to Orangeblossom85]

That's true, because when I'm well I can conquer anything but when I'm ill I can conquer nothing. Or maybe it's the other way round lol

[gerrerd in reply to Hidden]

Take control of your mind.😎

[gerrerd in reply to Orangeblossom85]

True, as you think so are you. Don't put the world's, thinking in your mind it's all fear. I am programming my mind every day now, so what I want to think I do. I am working on having no fear in my mind. 😋 XX
