@dirkson those drugs probably caused your depression in the 1st place.. take the highs n lows... Just SAY NO to prescription drugs !!

THE IMPORTANT QUESTION IS.. WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE DEPRESSED?
-
yikes! i just started taking an SSRI 4 days ago. no more! i had a feeling about this. i knew this. psychiatrist medication just is not natural.

stupid antidepressants. why were they made in the first place? they only make everything worse

They certainly had this effect on me. I started taking them in the 2nd half of my sophomore year at a n.e boarding school. Emotional numbing became noticeable in the 2nd year of use, comorbid with exacerbated anxiety. This was ironic, since Paxil was meant to treat my anxiety-generated depression. I had a second stint with medication, ending several years ago, and have found all to have long-term negative effects, little benefit. "Everyone's problem is different, as long as it's the same."

My doctor didn't inform me of many of the side effects of SSRI drugs before I was prescribed... it would have been good to know considering THE HELL it was trying to get off them. I'm not writing this to deter anyone from taking them. But there should be a thorough understanding of the effects of any drug before it's taken.
She's probably quite correct about everything she says in this video. However, it's rather easy to tell that she's never had clinical depression. If I had to choose between life with both love and deression, or a life where I DIDN'T want to kill myself every day, I'd be a fool to pick the first. Furthermore, I'd be a dead fool.

'Informative video. However, she did not mention the fact that many people are complaining about PERMANENT SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION AFTER USING SSRIs YEARS AFTER DISCONTINUING THEM. There is a support group on Yahoo with over 2400 members dealing with this, many who wish they'd never taken antidepressants. There are some of us on that forum who have suffered this kind of loss from so-called "antipsychotics". I, for one, have been off neuroleptics over 26 yrs. and I'm still numb. (See my channel.)
