ooohhhh .... good info here!
I've been ???ing this for a decade....
wow just wow! โฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธ
Not only do antidepressants not cure anything, but the mind-altering drugs also donโt treat any known abnormality. Thatโs called accurate information. Letโs repeat. Antidepressants do not treat or cure any known abnormality.
This information isnโt a new revelation. Never in the forty years that SSRIโs have been on the market has any antidepressant treated any abnormality, least of all postpartum depression.
It was claimed that antidepressants treat a โchemical imbalance?โ
That theory has been utterly and completely debunked in a 2022 paper by Professor Joanna Moncrieff and Dr. Mark Horowitz that revealed
that โIt is important that people know that the idea that depression results from a โchemical imbalanceโ is hypothetical.
And we do not understand what temporarily elevating serotonin or other biochemical changes produced by antidepressants do to the brain.
We conclude that it is impossible to say that taking SSRI antidepressants is worthwhile, or even completely safe.โ

While many physicians have known this for decades, if anyone took the time to really consider the โchemical imbalance theoryโ theyโd quickly realize the nonsense of it.
First, did a doctor conduct a test of the patientโs brain chemicals to identify which chemical was out of balance?
No. Why? โฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธ
There is no test known to man to measure anyoneโs brain chemicals.
Moreover, even if there was a test, who decides what chemical level is accurate and when and how does one deduce that the chemical level is correct?
Prozac, Eli Lilly, the pharmaceutical company that manufactured the mind-altering drug, advised the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that โthe actions of Fluoxetine (Prozac) are presumed to be linked to its inhibition of CNS neuronal uptake of serotonin.โ โPresumed?โ
Eli Lilly didnโt have any definite idea about how the drug worked in the brain and hence they used a very lawyerly word to explain what is believed to be working.
Twenty years later, drug developers still are no closer to understanding why people are depressed or how any of the antidepressants โworkโ in the brain.

Summary TL;DR For decades people have been told that depression is caused by a serotonin deficiency. This was the rationale behind the introduction of the SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitโฆ
