[[cl...]]

 

A psychiatry researcher who taught his students depression was caused by a 'chemical imbalance' in the brain says everything he thought he knew about SSRIs is wrong:

I, myself doubt psychiatry these days; I have for years.

While I do believe there are mental illnesses; I don't agree with how they're handled. Psychiatrists give out medications like candy.

 

Instead of medicating, why not try to find the root cause of the very problem? Seems to me, good therapy and longer sessions would benefit a person rather than giving them a cocktail of pills.

 

I'm not sure if I buy into the chemical balance theory; perhaps, a person could be having anxiety or depression because of developmental psychology. Seems the target is mostly adolescents, and they are growing--meaning anxiety is part of their growth.

 

Looking back, that was the case for me.

 

That's just an example and my thoughts on the subject matter. I'm no professional, lol. I guess just another person with an opinion.

 

But, I don't buy just because someone is depressed, they're bipolar...

 

OR

 

Just because Billy or Sally at age 14 has anxiety has an anxiety disorder.
