Hey Youtubers! I would like you to please check out this little video that is really great. Just copy and paste the link if you're feeling a bit down. :) youtube.com/watch?v=eM1RftBn2F4&context=C3eb8d00ADOEgsToPDskK2DMO3I1HbGAqYwLJxAAP4 If you like it, please add it to other youtube vids. Thanks! :)
Depression is real. It can affect anyone in life. There is no evidence to suggest there is a chemical imbalance in the brain, however genetically, you are more likely to suffer from depression if your parents suffered ( this might be vage, but true). Robert Enke (German Goalkeeper) earned more in a week then what most people earn in a year - yet he commited suicide and was serverely depressed. Depression is a serious illness - I am still on that road. I hope everyone has a happy 2012
@munjerdo: ouch! That sounds pretty rough! See, i've never heard of anybody actually dying from marijuana. Of course, i assume like most smoke, it would afect the lungs and cause ephezema, but i must admit i HAVE heard of anxiety attacks in some ppl! I feel like they should legalize marijuana still. Some people like yourself may not be suitable for it, which is why they have clinics to decide wether or not you actually "need" marijuana.
One more thing! It KILLS me how doctors tell you that smoking weed won't doesn't help. My doctor said "smoking weed won't help you, because it changes your brain chemistry. Weed will only throw your chemical imbalance off." But wait a second, thats what the medicine does! The only difference is that my medicine changes my imbalance, and it takes 4 to 6 weeks to work, and a joint changes my imbalance and it only takes 5 minutes! "well its only temporary" they argue! SO IS THE DAMN MEDICINE!
Yes but smokeing weed may throw you even deeper into depression.. I know it from experience.. I almost had heart attack.. Never experienced such anxiety in my life before. The effect of weed greatly depends on your toghts and mind.
Yeah, there is no proof of a chemical embalance, but there is a definate study of activity in the brain. Depressed people (like myself) who were BORN with a disorder, can take tests like MRI's and prove that activity is decreased in a depressed person whereas in a non-depressed person.
What happens, is after chemicals are released (jumping across the synaptic cleft and onto a cell, the cell then pushing the chemical out of the synaps), causes an electrical impulse that is sent from the Neuron, down the Axon, and to the next cell. This electrical impulse then sends a signal telling the next chemical impulse. Basicaly: a cell fires electrically, converts into a chemical signal, which causes the next cell to fire, and so on.
But in a depressed brain, the chemicals aren't firing off as much. (less activity). That looks like this: A Cell fired electrically, causes a (weak) chemical signal, which causes no response. P.S. I'm not a doctor, i'm just smart enough to know that this douche is wrong.
Yup - Drug em up - get em away from what the fuck is really going on in this twisted fuck up society created by these people.. He seems as if he actually believs this shit.. Sorry for the aggression!
@KhaledMr25: altho i don't agree with your religion, I absolutely agree with what you are saying! Much of depression is a spiritual problem, that can be GREATLY solved by trusting God.
Prozac, for me, worked well. I am not on meds now, but am going through a severe depression, and am looking at things like this on youtube and reading also to see what to do (as an American I have no health insurance also).
I've had experience for years on both sides of the issue, as far as taking medication. I agree that there is a definite spiritual question, especially in the face of a society which mostly has anti-human and anti-individual or contradictory messages and themes. However, I do think that there is enormous amounts of evidence that depression has a cause from chemical imbalances in the brain, and that some meds do work.
i have just been through a massive depression due to ocd and social phobia and intellectual disabilty related issues and bulimia nervosa i havnt been to the doctors cause it would seem make me feel strange explainign i didnt feel quite right or normal but its whats right isnt it gp
There is no chemical test for depression, but if you get an MRI you can clearly see that the part of the brain that regulates emotion has much less activity in someone who is depressed. Don't believe me. Check it out for yourself.
I cant speak for everyone but can speak for myself. Im 50 yrs old and have been depressed most of my life regardless of my circumstance. 12 yrs ago my mom said she thought i needed to see a doctor about my depression. 1st i saw a therapists for 10 hours. She thought i was "normal". So i tried the meds. Took several before i found one that worked. Wellbutrin SR150 was a Godsend. I have taken it off and on for 12 yrs with no side effects or withdrawal at all. Easy to talk for others but....
Man!...you hit the nail on the head with me, my depression was serious, but music was and is my way of dealing with it, cuz it's soothing and cathartic, but due to my intellectual inclination, my family keeps pushing me to study law and i'm in a rut cuz they don't get me...i jus wanna rock
I have Bipolar Disorder, and well, I can tell you how it feel likes to be depressed. All of this sh!t like LexaPro, Welbutrin, Abilify, Lithium, this will not help you, you will only get more tired then you already are, and pushed more deep into the circle where you are in at this moment. Your Doctor may tell you otherwise, but they ar all just in this game together, making profit of all this medication subscriptions, and they are expensive. Take my advice, like I did, go Jogging! ;-)
It's a proven fact that in the brains of people that are chronically depressed; the part of the brain that regulates emotion is inactive. I'm not talking about the part of the brain that says it's okay to look homeless and to be somewhat condescending. Hell, babies can do that when they have a load of feces that they're proud of.
When this psychologist referred to a chemical imbalance, I thought that he was talking about the supposed chemical imbalance which the average layperson would understand as treatment. What I take from this video is that depression is misunderstood because people are ignorant of everything (biological, sociological and psychological) and speak of depression in a very superficial way.
Anyone who takes this guys advice is making a big mistake. He's ruining the life of anyone who takes him seriously. I know exactly how wrong this man is. If you're depressed don't stop here for your answers. Believe it or not you can feel better. People have devoted their lives for the past 100 years to help with depression. And the medication works fantastic!! Guru therapy and natural whole wheat methods will always land you feeling a step behind life n feeling flat. Trust me I tried and tried.
Depression is so rampant and widespread many don't know they have it. You're guidance is hurting more than helping. Your answers here are detached from reality.
I think you should spend time treating your own mental illness and stay away from this arena.Seriously.
there are many ways to help depression though just talking in an open enviroment like northmkm.com would help hope this helped i like to spread the word about our site because its important to reach those that need it please dont look at this as spam or a scam go to the site check it out we are trying to grow as a community
Depression was born when modern man denied the tragic reality of life. Maybe it used to be possible to be severely sad without being ashamed of it, nowadays that has become impossible. To be sad in modern society is an insult to society: 'how can you be sad in all this wealth?' Thus the sad person feels ashamed and the psychiatrist role is to devaluate the experience of this person by turning him into a patient, by making his experience a symptom. And who profits?
Depression. fear, anger, resentment, blame ,attack, victim, me me me. The door out is open to you IF you CHOOSE compassion, love, forgiveness. why not give it a go for a few days. i wish you only the best
I didn't watch the clip I've been seeing a Psychiatrist for over 10 years a Therapist once again same old shit really.I'd rather be dead seriously I'm sick of living with all the conditions I have what is the point really?

This guy doesn't know what he is talking about! I suffer from PMDD, Being depressed has nothing to do with whats going on in your life, sometimes I cry uncontrollably over nothing. I do become sad over bad things that may occur in my life e.g bad break up/money problems/work/ study problems but that is not depression, that is just going through a tough time, depression on the other hand is worse than just going through a tough time. Let me explain what happens to me physically and mentally when
This video is dangerous. You obviously to NOT understand the meaning or dynamics of depression. It is NOT simply feeling blue. I just hope that people with REAL depression don't come in here and watch this and give up hope when they try to think themselves out of it and it doesn't work. Please, don't treat this condition like something a person can talk themselves out of - you're going to send people into despair and suicide!!!
This dude is horribly off... I think he is mixing up general depression and clinical/ major depression which is IN FACT an absolutely biological disorder of the brain that has no dependency on outside situations. As someone with clinical depression, I can assure you I could have been surrounded by puppies, naked models, and bags of money and still been in the darkest depths of human desperation and sadness. Its effects are much like diabetes, everything aches, you feel constantly dizzy / heavy
i know i feel alone, like nothings's ok, and that you don't deserve same
happiness others have. i know you have something inside you that you want.
you're more powerful than you ever knew, you're strongbow than you ever imagined. I know you're reading this, and i want you to know that i know what its like. I know wat you have been through pain crying but thats all a sign of a strong spirit in every way. Even though i may never be cured from my ocd and keep going through happines every minute
He is not talking about depression, he is talking about sadness. Depression is an illness, sadness is a normal reaction that is temporary. You can stay depressed your whole life, often depressed people have low serotonin.
@nostalgikeren they have low serotonin because of their behavior (i.e. eating and sleeping habits, drug usage, not taking steps towards self-actualization, etc etc etc). depression is not a disease. would you say happyness was a disease? no, happyness is not a chemical imbalance, it is the result of behavior
People who have these issues need time space, &environment, resources to do the best they can as an individual-someone below said "I suck at life" & I know how they feel-I've thought the same thing & slammed my head on the wall & scratched my face & cried & wished I would die- Ive been through so many of those days-& you end up in the hospital-& that really sucks- So with limited resources I've tried to find ways to be healthy individual because the social is too problematic for me.
One problem I have with depression and related issues is trying to get people who don't have the same issues to understand the scope of issues that I experience--People seem dismissive and can't understand no matter what you tell them-they just think it is attitude problem or strictly behavior- It is painful enough to feel so impotent & worthless & alienated & lonely & misunderstood-and it is even worse when you are punished,shamed,humiliated and dismissed for it.
I hate all these mental health doctors they may work wonders for some people but at the end of the day i think its all about money. Im 14 and i attempted sucide i told my pyschologist that i thought i was depressed and i had never felt so emotionally drained in all my life. They just told me that i was fine and there was nothing wrong with me. So i just take overdoeses for fun right ? fucking people these days whenever you want help there not there and when you dont want help they suddenlyappear
@EpIcPrOdIGyPeRsOn dont give up too easily on yourself. it's your life, treat yourself like your best friend who needs help. life is a brief event, even if you live 100 years...time will wipe us all out sooner or later, all that is happening now later on won't matter that much. tell me do your obsess on what happened to you when you were 5 year old? same thing will happen 5,10,15 years from now...it wont really matter what happened now...and imagine you are old and dying, nothing will matterthen
you know why i feel depressed because life suck, and you know what i am going to do i am going to buy much vodka tomorrow when i get up than i going to drink it all and smoke a lot of cigaretes #ftw what are the solutions, i suck at life there is no soultions, i only sit at internet 24/7
I depressed and have social anxiety and i see tgis video i feel better until for a bit but still no happy effect its horrible maybe i should chill out more with a drink or two
I'm sorry Doctor, but do you know what depression is? If it were a fact of life, or a "right of passage" than millions of people would not die each year from it. You seem to not understand what depression is which is surprising you being a doctor.
@BlackOpsAid It's really crap, isn't it. My depression led to me being agoraphobic, so a big help for me was to be outside, and visit beautiful places, and just be with people I loved. As for the worries, that's the hardest part. I'm still struggling with that bit, but as I separated myself from the people that made me feel that way, and surrounded myself with new friends who made me feel happy and good about myself, I found my self confidence growing and worries decreasing. Good luck hun x

I'm sure you are among those that think homosexuality is just a choice. Much of the science of the brain is very much in its infantcy. You obviously haven't been there.....
All you nay sayers should be ashamed. You don't appreciate the genius of Dr. Breeding. This so called depression gets too much attention. If you people would just focus your lives on the positive you would find that you were never ill to begin with. Now, if you will just excuse me, there's a bullet from a gun that has my name on it.
I can't believe he can just sit there giving us all the answers when behind him all the while there's a Teddy Bear choking with a noose wrapped round it's neck, it makes me sick it really does
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO UNDERSTAND.. THERE IS NO CURE FOR DEPRESSION... THERE IS ONLY AN ALTERNATIVE... AND THAT IS TO JUST WALK AWAY.. FROM YOUR DAILY LIFE.. WHEN I GET THE BALLS TO FOLLOW MY OWN ADVICE I WILL TELL YE HOW I GOT ON.. BUT UNTIL THEN I WILL WAKE, WALK, TALK WITHOUT KNOWING THE TRUE MEANING OF MY WORDS AND SIT HERE AT NIGHT AND TELL MYSELF IM SUCH A BITCH FOR NOT DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR ME.. IF YOU DONT LIKE THE BOOK YOUR READING, READ ANOTHER.. IM NO FUCKING DOC BUT TELL ME IM WRONG
Depretion heppens not when you regect the status quo and go on the road to become a rock star. Depretion kicks in when you realise that to become a rock stor is even worst then to become a doctor. On top of that you are mot even talented enough...
There is a CURE for deep Depression, Despair, and Hopelessness. I was in the Chains of Hopelessness for years and couldn't find anyway out. I used my Addictions to cover up the pains I was feeling. But now I am finally Free and have so much Hope, Joy, Happiness, Peace, and Love that I have ever experienced. There are 100s of people that I know personally who have experienced the same things! Click on my name to see these Powerful Stories of Hope and Freedom. You can have the same also!
One thing I've noticed is that a lot of people have causes for their depressions. I don't have any discrete cause that I can identify for my own depression. I just have generally melancholic disposition and find it very difficult to care about anything in this world. I call it an existential depression.
I know you feel alone, like nothing's ok, and that you don't deserve the same happiness others have. I know you have something inside you that you wish the world knew. You're more beautiful than you know, You're stronger than you ever imagined. I know you're reading this, and I want you to know that I know what it's like. I know what you've been through, But you're so much more than you think you are. You're amazing in every way. And even though I may never meet you, I love you. Be strong
More things that compound depression for me at least-maybe someone else can relate-Trying to articulate (especially to people who don't care, or don't experience the same feelings-at least to the the same extent)How & why I have depression, why I'm incompatible,why I can't stand certain things, why I become irritable & depressed & suicidal- it is a never ending debate with people who either cannot or do not want to understand and that really bothers me I wish those types would stay away.
People who tell you that your depression isn't real, or that it is fake, or illegitimate are more sources of unhappiness. Especially people who have a degree of success,--they can't see things from the perspective of the individual who has difficulties like depression,social friction,shyness,incompatibility,emotional distress--they simply chalk it up to a lack control or weakness in character then wash their hand of you-toss you into the loser bin-
Here are things that compound my depression- peer pressure from groups trying to make you do things or be ways that you aren't comfortable with & telling you that you are some way that you dont believe yourself to be. Obsessive individuals-people who focus their attention on you either for reasons they think are good (they think they can help you,but you already know that how they want to help you will only make you feel smothered & unhappy--or obviously for reasons that would be bad.
One thing that depresses me is people's antagonism--Tonight I was feeling pretty good- & then just one person's calloused remark-someone who has success in their life--said to me "you really know to lose well." I have struggled since childhood with depression & anxiety, & self destructive impulses, dysfunction in the family--after that person said that I started getting suicidal thoughts & searing feelings of anger that they felt I deserved such mean spirited, antagonistic comment.
I've seen some of this guys videos. He clearly isn't capable of understanding that lack of evidence for one theory IS NOT evidence that proves another theory. Essentially, if he has a real PH.D it needs to be revoked because he has not even the faintest idea of how to conduct science of any kind, let alone science of the mind.
We didn't even know how CD's actually worked until a few weeks ago. That doesn't mean they don't work.
There's a small and excellent online depression support group called Depression Hangout that is always open to anyone who is struggling with mental health problems (not just depression). It's run in its own chaotic way by its members who meet regularly in the chat room and it's a great place to seek and provide help and support, make new friends and even just have a laugh. (We all need that too!) To join just go to depressionhangout-dot-blogspot-dot-com.
I am thinking perhaps this is an interactionism. Not an approach for this functionalist, smacks of failed freudian theories dressed up in crunchy granola gear.
This seems to be a 'feeling' based approach to behavior, I can't feel trust for people who's behavior leads me to believe they would panic in a crisis situation. This opinion is of course very subjective, I could only go to 30 seconds before I felt I was being brain vamped. Not very cheerful stuff this.
That guy needs a hair cut and a shave, after that he might be taken seriously, but I doubt that. He has no idea what a depression is. What deep forest psycho school he went to?
Blah blah blah blah. I went to a psychiatrist for seven months, and was told all the hippy crap that you've repeated in this video. The only valid points you have made are about the difference between sadness and depression, and medication.
But rearranging your life? Seriously? I tried that, and you know what? I still couldn't eat, sleep, smile, or function properly for ages.
Bloody psychologists. You could get more guidance from a fortune cookie.
@Bethywethy6 Hi Bethy I wanted to ask you. Because I did a stupid mistake I took Citalopram and after I stopped it I lost all my emotions and i feel terrible i cant do my work and I dont feel love for a boy I liked before. I wanted to ask you how did you manage to cope with this, now i feel like you. But Im confused I dont know what to do, a psychiatrist prescribed me tricaclics but iM scared to take them after what happened. I wanted to ask you how did you manage to cope with it
@Bethywethy6 I love the way you put this. Hits the nail on the head. And hits this lemon sniffing psycho hippie in the head. This advice is just dangerous bullshit. Thank you for saying it.
@Bethywethy6 You're correct, his points are invalid and I have went through clinical depression too, but I still think he has a point. After reading over some of the work of Albert Ellis, a cognitive psychologist, I realized that depression is largely a creation within the brain. It relies upon both the environment of the individual and the beliefs which people nurture.
I can't explain myself fully because youtube comments only give you so much characters to use.
@defuzed28 Oh, this video, amongst other things. It is incredible, watching this video almost a year after recovery, how much I still want to hit this stupid hippy doctor.
HORRIBLE SIDE EFFECTS LIKE SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION, OH NO. Are you aware that depression HAS SIDE EFFECTS? Like waking up at 4 am every night, not being able to concentrate, feeling tired constantly?
I've woke up at 4 a.m for the last few nights, but I've been diagnosed with clinical depression for just over a year now and it's not something that's happened to me all that much.
I agree with you that anti-deppresants seems fishy (I have not taken them myself), but the anti-depressant drug families have nothing to do with the amphetamine class of drugs. I think your confusing stimulants like methylphenidate with SSRI/SNRI, etc.
Two completely different types of drugs although they sometime interact with the same receptors.
people who have got depression know what depression is, but they ain't got a clue about happiness,most of the time, some people don't even know that there suffering from depression they just get on with life, but their performance is diabolical most of the time, so society pays a price , fuck the professionals just give people the keys to the drug cabinet, it's better to die having a go , and that's on drugs or with out drugs, to much talk and no action is also fucking depressing.
have more sex, different positions, don't be afraid to spice up things......bring another woman to your bedroom. Have a triangle. Orgasm is the best pill.
Some of his points are valid - our society is overmedicated, we are overprescribed anti depressants, and yes, a lot of the people who take them have an underlying cause to their depression which can be addressed practically. However, chronic depression is not simply a case of rearranging your life, often there is no explainable cause of your mood, which suggests it is pathological. Also, anti depressants can be very effective for treating other disorders such as anxiety or panic disorder.
What would Dr. John Breeding have to say to someone suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder? That is depression caused by something external & physical.. Is that the 'blues' then? A natural dip in life's road? Would this respond to psychotherapy? No.. but it will respond to greater light levels..
There is evidence that thyroid irregularity can cause depression also. Is that something that would respond to talking cures?
i have no will or motivation to live. i don't find excitement or happiness doing any thing. why fight? i don't feel pleasure about anything, so there is no point in facing life.
@thebeginner15 same ere, I try to dig my mind into something other than the reality of life, sometimes you have to look away. I try to dig into something like weight lifting to get a positive look, sometimes it helps.
I think the doctor here is addressing the misdiagnosis of discontentment and unhappiness with depression. True depression is none of the things he mentioned. It is not a low spot of melancholy and uncertainty that needs to be worked through. True depression cannot be worked through. It is not a normal process thaat can resut in growth. It is a pathology. It is a true mental disorder. Also, if you hate your life long and hard enough, it can lead to true hopelessness and real depression.
antidepressants dont produce an amphetamine type effect... at least not MOST of them. Quite the oppositte is often the case. Also, depression is not a low spot in life. Depression is a major sickness that often has NO RELATION to reality. Your life could be totally successfull and happy and wonderful, OR, it could be a symptom of a life you absolutely hate... in either case its much more than a bit of a blue mood or a temporary sadness, the way you make depression out to be.
I write songs and play music..... I refused to take the meds.... then they threatened me telling me i will have my civil rights taken from me if i dont take them....... the guy in the vid has expressed the condition perfectly..... (if you like, come listen to me play guitar).... it's just me being expressive...(smile) xx BlueAndTofar ... The Middle Way

I am going through depression right now. It is no joke. It literally drains the joy of life out of you. It is a terrible affliction. I dread getting up in the morning. All I want to do is lie in bed. Only God can help.
i hope this guy suffers from major depression once in his life ,also i hope i meet him in the street so i can display my mental illness to him by smashing his fucking face in.
While there is no evidence that depression is CAUSED by chemical imbalances, there are mountains of evidence that depression and chemical imbalances are correlated. I do agree that drugs are often unnecessary. But in the case of depressed people who are completely non-functional, they are MANDATORY. And those people exist. They can't do ANYTHING, not even get out of bed. Personally I think depression is caused by bad thought patterns but depression itself can become a pattern hard to break.
Depression's a very common issue among North American people, and like any other issue in America, it is commercially exploited to the fullest extent. I guess everyone's road to recovery is different- I'm finding that music is helping me cope quite a bit. Some people need drugs in severe cases, I'd say explore the spiritual route first; medication should always be a last resort.
@iamwalls Do you try to pray your cancer away before agreeing to treatment? If you have diabetes, do you pray that your insulin will miraculously take care of itself? If you believe your body is a temple, why would you ignore the damage happening to it? Because it's attached to the organ containing your personality and not your knee?? God gave you a brain—please use it! He's blessed this country with medical advances—why would you refuse such a gift!?
@rlquinn1980 First of all, we're talking about depression; not cancer, diabetes, or bodies being temples (??). If you don't already know, depression is a mental illness, and as so, should be treated by mental ailments, first. Spiritual healing doesn't refer to some nonsensical ancient gypsy sorcerery of sorts, it refers to a psychological approach at healing the body. If you wanted to stop laughing, would you shoot yourself with a dose of morphine? No, you'd stop and take a breathe, or two.
@iamwallsRepeated medical studies over the last sixty years have shown over and over again that there is a strong biological component to depression as well as other mental illnesses. (Please watch lecture, youtube.com/watch?v=NOAgplgTxfc) Additionally, advances in neuroscience that the mind is not some mysterious abstract component, but that our brains ARE us. Just as uncontrolled blood sugar is a symptom of diabetes, so melancholy is a symptom of an ailing brain.
@iamwalls Ack! Sorry about that. Try this: Run a search on YouTube for "sapolsky depression" It should be the first video that pops up "Stanford's Sapolsky On Depression in US (Full Lecture)" 52 minutes, 29 seconds.
@TheChembalin Congrads You're actually right. What if we could stimulate the brain to heal itself through increased blood flow and stimulation? No need for anti-depressants and no need for the good Doctor Breeding.

What a load of crap. Anti depressants aren't like amphetamines, they don't cause dependency and they are not hard to get off (personal experience) .
Not everyone gets depressed, they do get sad. There is a big difference between being sad and depressed. Depression isn't an extreme form of sadness it is something else entirely. I true psychologist would know the difference
@UnluckyGambler I just watched Sapolsky and he actually gave evidence concerning not only chemicals in the brain, but also biological factors such as genes and environmental factors. Everything he said was backed by evidence unlike this guy's video. I would recommend Sapolsky to anyone wanting to know about clinical depression. Thanks for referring him :)
I need to find a girlfriend who is in the same condition as me that would help me out so much I would be able to relate and we could figure things out without medication in other words WHERE THE HELL IS MY SOULMATE FFS!!!
This guy is the most ignorant fucking tool I've heard. If you want to go backwards and advocate the idea that people with depression just need to snap out of it, keep listen to the shit he's sputing
DEPRESSION is not a fine word and if you knew what you where talking about you wouldnt state so! You doctors create stigma and untruths....the best being the names choosen like "DEPRESSION" or "MENTAL HEALTH"....I mean hello, they are a joke...MENTAL should be MIND. Depression may be your boyfriend cheating on you, to others its a life of beatings and sexual abuse! I really find you offensive
have opinions on medications but dont you dare think you know what depression is! You may be a doctor but I know everything you dont as I have been through it! FACT! You havent a clue so continue writing your books but your a hypocrite as YOU have NO IDEA! I have taken all anti depressants for 15 years. I can state for a fact valium is not addictive. I took it for over a year and had NO problems stopping it! PSCHOLOGY is fake. only sufferers can tell the truth! NOT YOU!
insomnia, major panic attacks and anxiety which I have constantly. I havent slept for three years due to chronic constant anxiety. I do not like people confusing sadness and REAL depression. I dont care about chemical imbalances, but many have terrible lives and this affects them. Are we suppost to just be upset about getting raped, beaten or used? Are people with no parents suppost to be like those with good parents? This is NOT BEING SAD!!!!
ive watched many of your videos but this one wound me up. You discuss DEPRESSION is tems of just a low mood, not being happy in your eveyday life, basically a sadness everyone goes through. Your confusing sadness with serious depression. Child abuse victims, people who have suffered terrible childhoods such as myself are not just sad. We have serious affects from those childhoods and how you can just pass that off as being a little bit upset is disgraceful! REAL CHRONIC DEPRESSION causes
This has been flagged as spam show

One more thing! It KILLS me how doctors tell you that smoking weed won't doesn't help. My doctor said "smoking weed won't help you, because it changes your brain chemistry. Weed will only throw your chemical imbalance off." But wait a second, thats what the medicine does! The only difference is that my medicine changes my imbalance, and it takes 4 to 6 weeks to work, and a joint changes my imbalance and it only takes 5 minutes! "well its only temporary" they argue! SO IS THE DAMN MEDICINE!

Yes but smokeing weed may throw you even deeper into depression.. I know it from experience.. I almost had heart attack.. Never experienced such anxiety in my life before. The effect of weed greatly depends on your toghts and mind.

Yeah, there is no proof of a chemical embalance, but there is a definate study of activity in the brain. Depressed people (like myself) who were BORN with a disorder, can take tests like MRI's and prove that activity is decreased in a depressed person whereas in a non-depressed person.
H0ST100 3 weeks ago
What happens, is after chemicals are released (jumping across the synaptic cleft and onto a cell, the cell then pushing the chemical out of the synaps), causes an electrical impulse that is sent from the Neuron, down the Axon, and to the next cell. This electrical impulse then sends a signal telling the next chemical impulse. Basicaly: a cell fires electrically, converts into a chemical signal, which causes the next cell to fire, and so on.
H0ST100 3 weeks ago
But in a depressed brain, the chemicals aren't firing off as much. (less activity). That looks like this: A Cell fired electrically, causes a (weak) chemical signal, which causes no response. P.S. I'm not a doctor, i'm just smart enough to know that this douche is wrong.

I've had experience for years on both sides of the issue, as far as taking medication. I agree that there is a definite spiritual question, especially in the face of a society which mostly has anti-human and anti-individual or contradictory messages and themes. However, I do think that there is enormous amounts of evidence that depression has a cause from chemical imbalances in the brain, and that some meds do work.

When this psychologist referred to a chemical imbalance, I thought that he was talking about the supposed chemical imbalance which the average layperson would understand as treatment. What I take from this video is that depression is misunderstood because people are ignorant of everything (biological, sociological and psychological) and speak of depression in a very superficial way.

Depression was born when modern man denied the tragic reality of life. Maybe it used to be possible to be severely sad without being ashamed of it, nowadays that has become impossible. To be sad in modern society is an insult to society: 'how can you be sad in all this wealth?' Thus the sad person feels ashamed and the psychiatrist role is to devaluate the experience of this person by turning him into a patient, by making his experience a symptom. And who profits?

People who tell you that your depression isn't real, or that it is fake, or illegitimate are more sources of unhappiness. Especially people who have a degree of success,--they can't see things from the perspective of the individual who has difficulties like depression,social friction,shyness,incompatibility,emotional distress--they simply chalk it up to a lack control or weakness in character then wash their hand of you-toss you into the loser bin-

Two completely different types of drugs although they sometime interact with the same receptors.

Some of his points are valid - our society is overmedicated, we are overprescribed anti depressants, and yes, a lot of the people who take them have an underlying cause to their depression which can be addressed practically. However, chronic depression is not simply a case of rearranging your life, often there is no explainable cause of your mood, which suggests it is pathological. Also, anti depressants can be very effective for treating other disorders such as anxiety or panic disorder.

I think the doctor here is addressing the misdiagnosis of discontentment and unhappiness with depression. True depression is none of the things he mentioned. It is not a low spot of melancholy and uncertainty that needs to be worked through. True depression cannot be worked through. It is not a normal process thaat can resut in growth. It is a pathology. It is a true mental disorder. Also, if you hate your life long and hard enough, it can lead to true hopelessness and real depression.

antidepressants dont produce an amphetamine type effect... at least not MOST of them. Quite the oppositte is often the case. Also, depression is not a low spot in life. Depression is a major sickness that often has NO RELATION to reality. Your life could be totally successfull and happy and wonderful, OR, it could be a symptom of a life you absolutely hate... in either case its much more than a bit of a blue mood or a temporary sadness, the way you make depression out to be.

I am going through depression right now. It is no joke. It literally drains the joy of life out of you. It is a terrible affliction. I dread getting up in the morning. All I want to do is lie in bed. Only God can help.

While there is no evidence that depression is CAUSED by chemical imbalances, there are mountains of evidence that depression and chemical imbalances are correlated. I do agree that drugs are often unnecessary. But in the case of depressed people who are completely non-functional, they are MANDATORY. And those people exist. They can't do ANYTHING, not even get out of bed. Personally I think depression is caused by bad thought patterns but depression itself can become a pattern hard to break.

Depression's a very common issue among North American people, and like any other issue in America, it is commercially exploited to the fullest extent. I guess everyone's road to recovery is different- I'm finding that music is helping me cope quite a bit. Some people need drugs in severe cases, I'd say explore the spiritual route first; medication should always be a last resort.

@iamwalls Do you try to pray your cancer away before agreeing to treatment? If you have diabetes, do you pray that your insulin will miraculously take care of itself? If you believe your body is a temple, why would you ignore the damage happening to it? Because it's attached to the organ containing your personality and not your knee?? God gave you a brain—please use it! He's blessed this country with medical advances—why would you refuse such a gift!?
rlquinn1980 1 year ago
@rlquinn1980 First of all, we're talking about depression; not cancer, diabetes, or bodies being temples (??). If you don't already know, depression is a mental illness, and as so, should be treated by mental ailments, first. Spiritual healing doesn't refer to some nonsensical ancient gypsy sorcerery of sorts, it refers to a psychological approach at healing the body. If you wanted to stop laughing, would you shoot yourself with a dose of morphine? No, you'd stop and take a breathe, or two.
iamwalls 1 year ago
@iamwallsRepeated medical studies over the last sixty years have shown over and over again that there is a strong biological component to depression as well as other mental illnesses. (Please watch lecture, youtube.com/watch?v=NOAgplgTxfc) Additionally, advances in neuroscience that the mind is not some mysterious abstract component, but that our brains ARE us. Just as uncontrolled blood sugar is a symptom of diabetes, so melancholy is a symptom of an ailing brain.

@iamwalls Ack! Sorry about that. Try this: Run a search on YouTube for "sapolsky depression" It should be the first video that pops up "Stanford's Sapolsky On Depression in US (Full Lecture)" 52 minutes, 29 seconds.

@TheChembalin Congrads You're actually right. What if we could stimulate the brain to heal itself through increased blood flow and stimulation? No need for anti-depressants and no need for the good Doctor Breeding.

What a load of crap. Anti depressants aren't like amphetamines, they don't cause dependency and they are not hard to get off (personal experience) .
Not everyone gets depressed, they do get sad. There is a big difference between being sad and depressed. Depression isn't an extreme form of sadness it is something else entirely. I true psychologist would know the difference

to those of u who want some REAL knowledge about depression, watch robert sapolsky. now THEREs a real scientist.

@UnluckyGambler I just watched Sapolsky and he actually gave evidence concerning not only chemicals in the brain, but also biological factors such as genes and environmental factors. Everything he said was backed by evidence unlike this guy's video. I would recommend Sapolsky to anyone wanting to know about clinical depression. Thanks for referring him :)

DEPRESSION is not a fine word and if you knew what you where talking about you wouldnt state so! You doctors create stigma and untruths....the best being the names choosen like "DEPRESSION" or "MENTAL HEALTH"....I mean hello, they are a joke...MENTAL should be MIND. Depression may be your boyfriend cheating on you, to others its a life of beatings and sexual abuse! I really find you offensive

have opinions on medications but dont you dare think you know what depression is! You may be a doctor but I know everything you dont as I have been through it! FACT! You havent a clue so continue writing your books but your a hypocrite as YOU have NO IDEA! I have taken all anti depressants for 15 years. I can state for a fact valium is not addictive. I took it for over a year and had NO problems stopping it! PSCHOLOGY is fake. only sufferers can tell the truth! NOT YOU!

insomnia, major panic attacks and anxiety which I have constantly. I havent slept for three years due to chronic constant anxiety. I do not like people confusing sadness and REAL depression. I dont care about chemical imbalances, but many have terrible lives and this affects them. Are we suppost to just be upset about getting raped, beaten or used? Are people with no parents suppost to be like those with good parents? This is NOT BEING SAD!!!!
honeytrap99 1 year ago
ive watched many of your videos but this one wound me up. You discuss DEPRESSION is tems of just a low mood, not being happy in your eveyday life, basically a sadness everyone goes through. Your confusing sadness with serious depression. Child abuse victims, people who have suffered terrible childhoods such as myself are not just sad. We have serious affects from those childhoods and how you can just pass that off as being a little bit upset is disgraceful! REAL CHRONIC DEPRESSION causes
