Stress, depression and anxiety are the plagues of the modern
world. Every year, over 20 million people in the western
world will enter into an episode of major mental trauma.
Most of them will be treated with antidepressant drugs. But
do antidepressants work and
how effective are these powerful
meds at providing at
providing sufferers with a cure?
The reason why people who are suffering from stress,
depression or anxiety are prescribed these powerful
medications is because of the mistaken belief that chemical
imbalances within the brain are at the root cause. This is
in fact not true.
Chemical imbalances are one of the symptoms of these
illnesses. Antidepressants are used to correct these
imbalances. Therefore, antidepressant drugs can only address
one symptom and as they don't address the root cause, there
is a seventy percent chance of relapse once a sufferer
ceases taking the medication.
What's even more shocking is that the proof for the
existence of chemical imbalances within the brain is
minimal. In a recent interview with People Magazine (July
11), the president of the American Psychiatric Association,
Dr. Steven Sharstein is quoted as saying "We do not have a
clean-cut lab test for chemical imbalances".
This begs the question: If these imbalances cannot be tested
and proven, why on earth are these drugs being prescribed?
Clearly, if a sufferer is to find a cure from the pain of
these widespread and ever-growing illnesses, a much more
effective treatment is needed, specifically, a treatment
which treats the root cause of these illnesses.
The root cause is flawed modes of thinking. This is easily
demonstrated. Two people can suffer the same traumatic event
in life, death of a loved one for example. One will enter
into a major depression, one won't. The only difference
between the two people lies in the way they have assigned
meaning to the event. This is the reason why not everyone
who experiences trauma develops stress, anxiety or
depression.
The bottom line is that the only way to cure stress,
depression or anxiety is to treat the root cause.
Antidepressant drugs cannot do this. The only way to beat
them is to replace flawed modes of thinking with more
effective ones which strangle these illnesses once and for
all.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR HEALTH PROFESSIONAL
BEFORE YOU STOP TAKING ANY ANTIDEPRESSANT MEDICATION.
