Are you or someone that you know depressed and/or have problems with tension? Well you're not alone, many individuals have the same issue. Odds are you have seen your doctor or healthcare professional and they have given you medication- a mind distorting substance that only treats the symptoms without addressing all the inherent issues that caused your problems in the first place and then there are the negative effects that follow! This is in my opinion the difficulty with modern allopathic medicine and it is stemmed from the opinion that profits are much more important than helping individuals.
Lets go through the dangers involved with taking anti depressant medication and what you ought to know before taking them.
They are quite addictive;
SSRI's are one kind of antidepressant medication that are very addictive and there's a lot of side effects not only with taking them in the very first place but when you discontinue using them as well. This is important to know before you commence them as you don't want to be addicted to prescription drugs.
They have horrible side effects;
Sometimes the side effects are much worse then the initial state that you're attempting to treat, here is only a few, flu like symptoms, reduced 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 even some very extreme reactions; loss of coordination, agitation, hallucinations, fainting, headache,chest pain,severe dizziness,shallow respiration,muscle cramps, slurred speech, severe weakness, feeling unsteady, seizure (convulsions).
They are expensive;
Obviously if you are addicted to them you must take them continuously so it is an ongoing cost. When a new drug is manufactured it has a patent put on it so only the one firm can produce that specific drug for several years so they have a monoploy on it.
Individuals can not take them when lactating or pregnant;
You wouldn't need your unborn child to become addicted to these nasty drugs and it can even be passed on through your milk when breast feeding.
Unfortunately many individuals who take these drugs don't realise that there are natural and less evasive ways of treating your anxiety with little to no negative effects. Mainstream doctors are educated at medicinal institutions that are funded by the pharmaceutical company's. There is even rumours that doctors receive incentives for selling a specific company's drug.
Some people can defeat their depression simply by leading a healthier life style. Regular exercise has been shown to release more natural endorphins (chemicals that make you feel good) into the brain enhancing your state of mind. A lack in B vitamins and omega 3 has also been demonstrated to have a direct link to depression and anxiety so taking a high quality supplement or just simply adding more vegetables to your diet may become a better choice then a lifetime of drugs.
Mercury is a harmful neuro toxin and carcinogen, it is been found in tinned tuna and this may be hard to believe some dentists use it in the fillings in your teeth. How will you know you have mercury poisoning? The symptoms include depression and chronic tiredness. In case you have mercury based fillings you need to see your dentist in order to get them removed and get an alternative in place. Then you will have to do a mercury detox, your naturopath can help you with this. So it's not just about including more healthy things in your lifestyle it is also about excluding undesireable things. Many food additives ie. Preservatives, artificial flavours etc, unbalance the chemicals in your brain and cause disharmony so that it would definitely become a safe bet to say they are not helping anyone at all.
Everybody's body differs and will react to different things, some individuals are sadly born with a genetic predisposition to depression and related symptoms but that won't mean you should only give up and accept the drugs your physician has prescribed you. In case you are suffering form depression or anxiety or both you should do a little research on how best to beat it naturally or merely do some research on the special drug you have been prescribed. There are several excellent books as well as good blogs where you might find advice and take care for your own wellbeing and take back your power over your life...
