Liberal parents and big pharma cause depression.

Are you able to go outside, sit on the porch and watch the birds?
I pray that you will find your joy and your peace again.
You have mail.

You notice we started having lots of problems when kids stopped playing with other kids outside in the sun and fresh air, doing physical things, and came inside to watch TV and play video games?

I’m convinced that the majority of the rise in autism and mental health issues are directly the result of antidepressant use among women — particularly during pregnancy.

This will never be fully studied though, as antidepressants are a blockbuster moneymaker for the pharma industry.

“Do you think everyone who takes SSRIs are fat and eat junk food and just sit on their asses?”

No.

Just most of them. Especially when alcohol is added to the list.

Including all these kids the doctors are prescribing these SSRIs to?

I guess we see the world from two different lenses, my FRiend.

*** Unfortunately Dr’s are happy to prescribe potent mind altering drugs anytime.***

This thread is reminding me that the first thing the doc did for kidnap victim Jaycee Lee Dugard was to drug her to deal with her extraordinary abuse. I’m sure they were doing cognitive therapy, too, but she had survived amazingly well. There’s a lot there to unwrap, and it will take a lot of time for her.

My own experience is that they prescribe these SSRIs all too quickly. I think these drugs are doing more harm than good for most of the population to whom they are prescribed.

Heroin and opiate addicts are depressed. Heroin addicts are personality types that avoid the sun, are “night people.” They are therefore low D. I got a person to take D supplements because of having a lot of colds and flu. 7 months later when I met her again she told me her life was so much better, that she didn’t get sick any more and she had quit taking Methadone. I had not known about the Methadone.

That person to whom you gave advice, owes you.

You made someone feel good and that is a great thing.

I believe in the Vitamin D value, too.
