I agree with you Point of no Return. Imho Depression is often a pharmaceutical bandwagon and society has become conditioned to it. I even have had one family member in particular tell me ‘im depressed’ in my life when in reality my life was great and fine – I simply wasnt smiling when i was around this one person as i hated being around them and they interpreted it as me being depressed – incredible delusion!
This family member is a pharmacuetical advocate and has f~~~ed up my uncles life by telling him he needed to be on meds and convincing him that he had mental problems. The meds f~~~ed up his kidneys for years and he is close to death. IMO If a person keeps telling you you are depressed you might end up believing and becoming that way even if you were not depressed in the first place !
Imho Listen to, trust and turn up your own internal radio of what you need and want in life and switch off other peoples radios around you if they are not on the same frequency or make you feel down.
Imo Society and the pharma industry want to tell people they are depressed and get them on profit making drugs when in reality most of the time its people going through hard times – its not an actual brain disease.
I took anti depressants twice in my life during a couple of hard times and they made things much worse i felt awful on them. Focusing on my own goals and personal freedom is what worked.
I am not an expert on this and open to more information on this but it appears to me there is no scientific evidence to support the belief that depression is a ‘biological’ brain disease. “No biochemical abnormalities have been reliably scientifically identified in depression at all,” writes Author Dr. Terry Lynch. “There is no scientific evidence for a chemical imbalance in neurotransmitters causing depression, and that there is no scientific evidence that it can be effectively treated by drugs assumed to be balancing brain chemicals.”
IMO psychiatry is not a science based on measurable data it is a subjective practice that is often flawed.
BELOW IS AN EXTRACT FROM AN INTERESTING ARTICLE I FOUND ONLINE ABOUT A PhD GUYS HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE WITH BEING DETAINED IN A PSYCHIATRY HOSPITAL
“:I HAVE A PhD in science (in a non-medical field) that was based on the premise that progress is achieved by data-based proof.If I had a heart attack or a stroke my life would be in imminent danger to the extent that I would have no difficulty with the appropriate medical professionals acting in my best interests. This is because these are conditions that are easily empirically defined in ways that can very rarely be argued with.
However, this would not be the case if I found myself being involuntarily detained in a psychiatric hospital. Many people with serious mental illness don’t believe that being admitted to hospital is in their best interest.”
The unstated assumption underlying this statement is that psychiatrists operate to the same standards as cardiac surgeons or stroke specialists.This assumption is wishful thinking. Why? Because psychiatric diagnoses are based on the subjective interpretation of behaviour by third parties. A psychiatrist may be highly trained but their diagnosis is still subjective.
Three years ago I was involuntarily detained in a psychiatric hospital in another jurisdiction, at the hands of mainstream psychiatrists.
My incarceration was by far the most barbaric, dehumanising and debasing experience of my life. The distress that caused this was hugely exacerbated by the experience, rather than relieved. This, it seems to me, was because those responsible for what I was subjected to believed that they were scientists.
Once there I became a faulty object in need of treatment. Not a cure. According to them I had an incurable “disease” that they, and they alone, were entrusted to “treat” – one that I would be afflicted with for the rest of my life, apparently in the same way as if I had suffered a heart attack or a stroke. However, unlike any other established medical profession, they had no empirical test results to back this up with. Not a single one.
Even more extraordinary, compared to any other profession on earth, they could incarcerate me for as long as they deemed necessary until I agreed with their point of view.
To have done so would have broken my spirit, a not uncommon occurrence in psychiatric patients. After human beings become enmeshed in the mental health system many emerge as shadows. Luckily for me I escaped and got back home before this occurred.
I know what my heart is and, indeed, other organs in my body. But what exactly is the human spirit? What is the soul (psychiatry means the healing of the mind or soul)?
Great minds have considered these questions for millennia and we are still unable to define what these qualities are, even though they are so essential to defining what it is to be human.
The scientific method fails us when we enter these domains. It can, at best, only scratch the surface of these things.This is why psychiatry is not a science. Psychiatrists who believe otherwise are deluding themselves.
Psychiatry has far too much power and we all know what that does. A good psychiatrist can be a life-saver, but bad ones are killers of that elusive, but core, quality of what it is to be human: the spirit. As a profession it needs to be knocked off its pedestal, reformed and humbled.
I had a lucky escape from the spirit-killing hands of mainstream psychiatrists three years ago. According to the scientific method that mainstream psychiatrists slavishly adhere to, since the human spirit cannot be measured, it does not exist.
They have forgotten that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Consequently, psychiatry has become desensitised, worshipping at the altar of science to the extent that it has lost its way and can treat people as mere faulty objects with chemically imbalanced brains.
This is an unproven hypothesis and, although it has been good for psychiatry, it has not been good for its patients.
According to Prof David Healy of Cardiff University school of medicine (based on international studies over the past half-century) compulsory detention for mental illness has risen threefold, admissions for serious mental illness have risen sevenfold, admissions overall have risen 15-fold, suicide rates among those with schizophrenia have gone up 20-fold, and diseases such as diabetes have increased exponentially among those who are mentally ill. There has also been a dramatic drop in life expectancy in people with a mental illness in the US. This is the bigger picture, and a very disturbing one.”
