Post-acute withdrawal syndrome can persist long after stopping antidepressants, lasting from months to over 13 years, yet Big Pharma's biased studies downplay its severity.
When it comes to depression and mood, we must consider a comprehensive management strategy, which includes proactive lifestyle changes, behavioral therapy, nutritional support, and natural supplements. Research links depression to metabolic phenomena, including gut dysbiosis, inflammation, insulin resistance, and oxidative stress. The relationship between chronic stress, depression, and anxiety is complex, but incredibly powerful. Depression is a multifactorial disease and requires addressing several neurochemical and metabolic imbalances that may underlie mood disorders. Nutrients that can help with depression include a wide range of nervous system function through omega-3s and magnesium. DHA is a great food for cognitive function and anti-inflammatory properties. Magnesium is a cofactor for more than 300 enzymes in the body; it is important for regulating blood sugar and has a calming effect on the nervous system. In general, Americans consume too much omega-6 fatty acids and not enough omega-3 fatty acids. The truth is that the science of antidepressants leads to more depression and all kinds of actions against life and moral integrity.
Exercise increases levels of powerful brain chemicals such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, which may help mitigate some of the effects of stress and the creation of new neurons, including those that release the calming neurotransmitter GABA. It also increases levels of anandamide, an endocannabinoid that acts against pain and depression. For neurotransmitter synthesis: SAMe, folic acid, B12, B6, and tryptophan improve the supply of serotonin. Methylation is essential for many functions in the body, including neurotransmitter production. Insufficient sunlight and vitamin D are associated with seasonal depression, as is their ability to control inflammation. Insulin resistance is associated with depression. Ancestral diet and blood sugar regulation: berberine, chromium, and green coffee extract. Blood zinc levels are associated with mood and depression. Hypericum perforatum is a medicinal herb used to treat depressive, neurological, and psychiatric disorders.
The explicit use of psychiatric drugs has no conclusive effect on the disease being treated, but it does have side effects and dependence. The manifestations of an underlying pathology should be analyzed for an individualized assessment of the disease, taking into account the nature, context, and origin of each person's particular emotional and behavioral difficulties.
Drugs commonly called antidepressants produce a short-term mood elevation, but require an increased dose to maintain this effect and cause dysphoria when discontinued. No known substance appears capable of producing a long-term mood elevation, which suggests the misleading nature of the term "antidepressant."
The fact that medications such as antidepressants and antipsychotics are being prescribed for increasingly longer periods is especially worrying given the serious adverse consequences associated with long-term use of drugs such as antipsychotics, which include cardiac complications, metabolic dysfunction, and neurological damage such as tardive dyskinesia.
To generate a positive change in our mental attitude and its relationship to bodily health, it is necessary to "reprogram our mind," that is, to discover how it generates attitudes, symptoms, development, thoughts, and feelings of well-being. This is possible through psychological therapy, with cognitive restructuring techniques, among others, where the person uncovers the erroneous programming in their subconscious, which generates discomfort and illness.
If the mind has the power to direct the functioning of our body, it is obvious that it can do so correctly and generate health if we learn how. To do this, it is important to discover where the subconscious generates emotional blocks and unblock them to allow healing emotions, attitudes, and thoughts to flow. Negative thinking patterns are the source of tremendous suffering and emotional misery. In fact, they are key factors in both depression and anxiety.

Also, a strong faith in God does a lot to help with depression. I have found that having God to turn to for help with my problems solves most. It gives me peace, quiets my mind, allows me to think more clearly, find my solutions. Also "real" friends to talk things out with, look for a solution. Sadly, today everyone seems to want a fast, no effort on my part, cheap solution! That was my doctor's reply years ago when I asked him why doctors prescribe so many pills. Patients come to him asking for something quick! Thanks to berberine, I now have my blood sugar under control unless it is a bad weather day, can't go out in the sun and I have a pitty party. Then a talking to myself, thinking of the good things, people in my life takes care of that. Key to it is it is okay to have a pitty party, just do not let it last, tske over your thoughts! Do not give in to it and run for the pill bottle, alcohol or drugs to solve your problems!
