Rethinking Depression Part 3, Depression & Bipolar Myths

Rethinking Depression Part 3, Depression & Bipolar Myths

Anna Miller, the founder and CEO of The Depression Project and Carol Creel, the President of LifeWorks Marketing discuss common myths surrounding mental health issues such as depression, bipolar disorders and anxiety problems. Are these experiences really mental illnesses as psychiatry and big pharma would have you believe? Is depression really caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain? Are there alternatives to treating these problems without the use of antidepressants or other medications or psychotropic drugs? What are some ways someone might be able to begin to recover from depression?

who has benifited the most from the label

who has benifited most form the side effects of the medication

who has benifited most from the dispenscing of the drugs

is depression related to reality

and why is reality so bad.........

what do the doctors and pharasist spend all this money on and is this examle sutainable.

@timelesstruths Those are important questions which you have asked. The exercise of pure capitalism does bring hardships with its benefits.

[timelesstruths]

the reason its all a big scam "making money at all cost" the benifits out way the risks.. and the risks are all on your part because the doctors and lawyers protect themselfs and each other and well you know the world isnt getting better for you or me just the money makers..................

and you can bet those who you turn to may seem conpassionated but beware of happy smiling faces

It is the way it is because what are you going to do about it.

to end suffering cause no suffering

love

yeah, I agree....it stinks of being just a big scam to me

[dickmoe99]

why is it ok for the government to sponge off us our entire lives like a parasite but when we do it to them we're the scum of the earth? whats that about?

[dickmoe99]

ha! thats been my general feeling as well....I just watched an interview with Sinead O Connor and all they really talk about are the symptoms and almost none of what caused this bipolar. The feeling I got from it was that the doctors did more harm than good with their meds and convinced her she was sick and crazy when she really wasnt

@Bongtasia

I can promise you that bi-polar is real.

If you had it you would realise that.

[AlterEgoTrip]

I am a firm believer that attitude still counts 90% because its the magic no one ever seems to tell you about when you are young, its like you can be extremely poor and living in a shop front (borrowed by a friend to have a place to live) full of scorpions, and you could feel really down about not having anything, and then still keep up your attitude and end up with a job.. a well paying job. Attitude helps your connection with people, and friendships can be important in a pragmatic way too.

[Bongtasia]

bipolar is a man made disease they made up to profit off of the basic depression

[pistasheo]

this is stupid. money doesn't buy happiness

The marketing claims are a bit over the top, don't you think?
