glad someone else is figuring out the junk food connection to depression, the gut acts like a primary brain and talks to your upper brain constantly. (japan became somewhat westernised with their diet at around the time that they started getting mood problems, shocker) situational depression is always ignored by doctors who prescribe junk that actually makes depression worse in nearly all, it even says on the insert, may cause suicidal thoughts or tendencies

I was prescribed Zoloft in 2004 from a doctor that said I had anxiety and it immediately made me feel like a complete brain dead zombie. I got off it without talking to the dr and never went back to her again. I later learned my Dad had a similar experience. Meanwhile I know people that have been on these drugs for years, including my brother, and their behavior is completely off the wall. They have emotional issues, tend to be completely irrational and they can’t get along with others.

They’ve lied about causation in many illnesses to promote unsafe drugs you have to take for the remainder of your life. And the recommendations to take the drugs, like statins, have been changing to earlier ages. But many people don’t want to take responsibility for anything in their life and popping pills vs changing your lifestyle is going to keep this fraud going strong. And sadly all this pharma crap is washing back into our drinking water, food, etc so it is hard to avoid it all.
