I still want to know what TC did in the first place to make his gf not want to be with him anymore. She had something bad happen to her this weekend, and I got scared so I told my friend group about it because I was going nuts not being able to do anything or see her. She's a very private person, and got upset that I told my friends about what had happened. She found out after one or two of them text her to see if she was okay. --- Golden Cities of Amber Spots <3 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Well that's irresponsible of her, she had you worried sick and failed to contact you? What kind of attraction can there be to a person like that besides a booty call?

In all seriousness, anti-depressants should be a last resort rather than a first resort. When anti-depressants undergo clinical trials, they're only required to show statistically significant short-term improvement over a placebo drug. What isn't reported is that people given the placebo improve nearly as much with far fewer side effects. Research is also showing that ~85% of people with major depression who take no medication get over it within a year and rarely relapse, whereas those who take anti-depressants are likely to remain on them long-term or to relapse when taken off of them. I'm not saying to never take an anti-depressant--obviously there are many people whose lives were saved by them. But they are massively over-prescribed while their risks are downplayed, and they only mask symptoms of depression without treating it. Unless you are very seriously depressed to the point of being suicidal, it's probably better to try other strategies first.

^ This is from the actual study one of your Alex Jones level articles is referencing. Nobody is claiming that medication should be a first resort, but it does help many people.
CONCLUSIONS: The magnitude of benefit of antidepressant medication compared with placebo increases with severity of depression symptoms and may be minimal or nonexistent, on average, in patients with mild or moderate symptoms. For patients with very severe depression, the benefit of medications over placebo is substantial. --- If they drag you through the mud, it doesnt change whats in your blood ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yes, and if you read my comment I noted that as well. Those "Alex Jones" articles, as you called them, were written by psychologists with distinguished credentials citing many different studies. You may want to read them more carefully before you pronounce judgment.

You may want to read them more carefully before you pronounce judgment. Then theyd be biased since their practices are threatened by psychiatry as psychologists dont prescribe medication The fact is that many types of mental illness can be caused by imbalances that arent necessarily treatable with lifestyle changes alone. Everyones mind is different so maybe let professionals use their judgement instead of trying to spread propaganda online. --- If they drag you through the mud, it doesnt change whats in your blood ...

Kelly Brogan is a medical doctor and board certified in psychiatry. John Kelley is a psychologist and teaches at Harvard Medical School. I'm not sure how posting writings by these people amounts to propaganda, particularly when both cite many studies by other individuals backing up their claims.

TC has expressed repeated suicidal thoughts. By disparaging a method of treatment you could be doing real harm.

Yes, and I expressly indicated that medication is preferable for that situation in my original post. For other situations, trying other treatments first would be preferable for the reasons outlined in those links. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The articles are not biased, propaganda, or Alex Jones-tier just because you personally don't agree with the conclusions. They're written by people with excellent credentials, and they link to a plethora of studies. If you don't agree and don't want to read them that's your prerogative, but other people can make up their own minds.

MrMelodramatic posted...Because I'm not worth their time. Why are you antagonizing him? TC definitely seems to have depression, so insulting him isnt going to help him.

we didn't break up but we had our first real fight. The thing she got upset at me for sharing happened again, and this time in front of the great majority of our friends. I'm with her rn. --- Golden Cities of Amber Spots <3 ... Copied to Clipboard!
