You appear to be very savvy. However, I do believe that we are all [including doctors] being brainwashed into thinking that medication is the answer to the problem, for the very reasons that you suggested. SSRIs do seem to be the best of the bunch, BUT I would only recommend taking them for the minimum time where absolutely necessary, so that they do not become addictive. I do not like the idea of meddling with our brains. I believe that the causations can be many. We have so much pressure imposed on us nowadays by our peers, society in general, and even ourselves. In fact we may place the most pressure on ourselves. I know that this was the case for me. Our expectations are so high and we are not as forgiving as we could be. The resulting stress can culminate in depression, anxiety and panic attacks, just to mention a few. What we eat can also affect us. Just look at how much even small things like artificial colorings in foods and drinks can do to the hyperactivity of children. What other things are there that have an adverse effect that we are not aware of? I know that many people believe that bipolar disorder can be brought on and also controlled by what we eat and when we eat it. I am looking forward to the e-book that should be coming out in the not too distant future. I agree with what you say Scott. You appear to be very savvy.

You hit on many good points here. Yes, we should fix the cause and not just put a band aid on the problem, but we live in America. It's the same with all of the major diseases - it's all about making money. On the other hand I'm not sure if they have the ability to fix the problem at the root yet. SSRI's seem to be the best that they can do - at least that's what I'm hearing????????? And, yes it is all about the conversation that one has in their own head whether they realize it or not. The thing is sometimes you just can't get that good conversation going in your head. I think it's helpful just to realize that what you think about controls your mood and if you are feeling down to focus on empowering thoughts. Thanks for the post!
