It is widely believed that antidepressant drugs are the best
treatment for stress, depression and anxiety. After consulting
with their health professional, many sufferers will be put on a
course of antidepressants, but how effective are these drugs?
Not
very, in fact they cannot provide a permanent cure and here are
the reasons why.
Antidepressant drugs are used to treat stress, depression and
anxiety because of an alleged "chemical imbalance" within the
brains of sufferers. What this means is that there is a lack of
a
chemical responsible for regulating our moods called Serotonin.
If there is a lack of serotonin in the brain, is this then the
root cause of anxiety, depression and stress? Unfortunately,
there is no evidence at all to support this theory. Indeed, low
levels of serotonin are a symptom of stress, depression and
anxiety. The issue here is that treating one of the many
symptoms
of these problems will only mask the cause and will therefore be
unable to provide a complete cure.
The main reason why antidepressant drugs are prescribed to
people
who suffer from stress, depression and anxiety is because a
chemical imbalance in the brain is believed to be the root
cause. But this is just a theory, there is no evidence to
support
it whatsoever. A chemical imbalance is just one of the many
symptoms involved. All antidepressant drugs do is to treat one
symptom. What's astonishing is that there is no test to
determine
the levels of the imbalance. Treating the symptoms will not
provide a cure, the only way to cure stress, depression and
anxiety is to treat the root cause, harmful and flawed modes of
thinking.
If you're taking an antidepressant and it isn't working, you
will
be told that:
"some drugs are more effective than others. What works on one
person may not be as effective with another. That's why doctors
repeatedly change the type of drug. It's simply a matter of
finding the drug that is right for you." This simply isn't true.
There are other factors - tolerance to a drug, dosage of a drug
and the simple fact that chemical imbalances aren't the root
cause of your anxiety or depression. Tellingly, Yale University
has published results showing that for 70% of people,
antidepressant drugs are totally ineffective. Other treatments,
especially cognitive therapy, are far more effective.
You're now aware of the reasons as to why antidepressants cannot
provide a cure for stress, depression or anxiety. Please use the
information to help you select better treatments and you will
soon
start to enjoy a happier future.
Please Note: If you are taking a course of antidepressant
medication, please do not stop taking your medication until you
have consulted with your health professional. They will be able
to advise you on how best to withdraw from the medication in a
fully controlled, safe way.
