Are you or someone you know depressed and/or have problems with anxiety? Well you are not alone, many people possess the same issue. Chances are you have seen your physician or medical care professional and they have given you drug- a mind distorting substance that just treats the symptoms without addressing all the inherent inbalances that caused your problems in the first place and then there are the negative effects that follow! This is in my opinion the problem with mainstream allopathic treatments and it is stemmed from the opinion that profits are much more important than helping individuals.
Lets go through the risks involved with taking anti depressant drug and what you should know before you take them.
They're very addictive;
SSRI's are one sort of antidepressant drugs that are very addictive and there's lots of side effects not only with taking them in the first place but whenever you come off them as well. This is necessary to know before you commence them as you do not need to become addicted to prescription drugs.
They have terrible side effects;
Sometimes the side effects are much worse then the initial condition that you're attempting to treat, here is only a few, flu like symptoms, decreased libido and difficulty in having an orgasm,nausea,trouble getting to sleep, drowsiness and flu like symptoms, these are just a few. Them there are some very extreme responses; loss of coordination, agitation, hallucinations, fainting, headache,chest pain,severe dizziness,shallow breathing,muscle cramps, slurred speech, severe weakness, feeling unsteady, seizure (convulsions).
They're pricey;
Obviously in case you are addicted to them you have to take them always so it's an ongoing cost. When a new drug is designed it has a patent set on it so only the one business can produce that specific drug for quite a few years so they have a monoploy over it.
You can not take them when lactating or pregnant;
You would not need your unborn child to be addicted to these nasty drugs and it might even be passed on through your milk when breast feeding.
It is unfortunate most individuals who take these medications don't realise that there are natural and less costly ways of getting treatment for your depression with little to no negative effects. Mainstream doctors are prepared at medicinal schools that are financed by the pharmaceutical company's. There's even rumours that doctors receive kick backs for selling a specific business's drug.
Some people can beat their depression just by adopting a healthier life style. Regular exercise has been shown to discharge more natural endorphins (chemicals that cause you to feel happy) to the brain enhancing your mood. A deficiency in B vitamins and omega 3 has been demonstrated to have a direct link to depression and stress so taking a high quality nutritional supplement or just simply eating more vegetables may become a better alternative then a lifetime of drugs.
Mercury is a dangerous neuro toxin and carcinogen, it is been found in tinned tuna and believe it or not some dentists use it in the fillings in your teeth. How would you know you have mercury poisoning? The symptoms include depression and persistent fatigue. If you have mercury based fillings you must see your dentist to get them extracted and get an option in place. Then you'll have to perform a mercury detox, your naturopath can assist you with this. So it's not just about including more healthy things in your life it's also about taking out the undesireable things. Many food additives ie. Preservatives, artificial flavours etc, unbalance the chemicals in your brain and cause disharmony so that it would really be a safe bet to say they aren't helping every ones moods.
Every ones body is different and will react to different things, some individuals are sadly born with a genetic predisposition to depression and associated symptoms but that won't mean you should only give up and accept the drugs your physician has prescribed you. If you are suffering form depression or stress or both you must do some research on how best to overcome it naturally or just do some research in the specific drug you have been prescribed. There are numerous great books or even good websites where you may find info and take care for your own health and take back your control over your life...
