What is curious is that most of them will be on these drugs for life. Equally curious is that over seventy percent of people who stop taking them for any length of time, will relapse into another painful episode of their illness.
Something is rotten in Denmark. Because if these drugs are as effective as their manufacturers claim, then sufferers should be cured of their disease. Clearly, this is not happening.
<] Q] Why? I mean, if these drugs are so good, why do not they treat stress, anxiety and depression?the commonly held belief, both by the medical profession and the people who suffer from illnesses such as stress, anxiety and depression, is that anti-depressant drugs are most effective treatment.
This is actually not quite true.
antidepressant medications do not help the sufferer. But they can only help them temporarily. They can not offer a permanent cure for this disease. This is because antidepressants treat the symptoms of a stressful illness -. reduced levels of "happy chemicals" called neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters are chemicals within our brain that help regulate our moods. So, all antidepressants do is to suffer "boost" by raising levels of neurotransmitters. The real issue here is that, when the sufferer stops medication, there is a seventy percent chance of return.
The reason for relapse is because these drugs simply have not addressed the cause of these diseases. By increasing the level of our "happy chemicals" all drugs are doing is masking the problem. Now, in the short term, the benefit of our mental well-being encouraged by increasing levels of "happy chemicals" is very helpful in helping us start the recovery process.
last sentence is very important. It explains how these drugs should be used. Because when we feel stressed, burned out, terrified of the future or that life has no point (all common feelings associated with stress and depressive illness), we find it almost impossible to work. Finding our own way "out of the tunnel" is a mission impossible.
and this is where antidepressants can help. In giving us an incentive, we feel more able to cope. We can begin to take the first steps to end our suffering.
But they will not provide permanent cure. They are the only way to cure this painful disease is address the root causes as to why these diseases occur. cause of the harmful mental habits and processes we have learned and put to use for most of our lives - from childhood in most cases
.and here lies the crucial difference. Antidepressants can help us in controlling short-term illness. Learning the mental habits and processes that crush these illnesses so they can not even begin to emerge to help us in the long term treatment of these diseases.
Something else I think you'll find illuminating about these drugs:
No single drug has proven more effective than any other, a recent study conducted at Yale University in the U.S. in the U.S. showed that the drugs are ineffective for seventy percent of patients. This is because the chemical imbalance in the brain are a symptom, not a cause.
Now you know why this is so.
What is also interesting to note that the sales of these products in the U.S. alone is worth 12 billion dollars annually. Pretty good for something that can not provide a cure is not it? Of course, one of the questions here have suffered paying thousands of hard-earned dollars for a drug that can not be cured in a month, month out, year after year.
I do not think is right. Because I firmly believe that people who suffer from stress, anxiety, panic attacks, depression and similar illnesses, want to get rid of him from his life forever. Cure means cured, permanently.
I overcame a terrible 5 years of anxiety-induced depression without taking any antidepressants. By learning the address of harmful mental habits and processes that I was the lowest point anyone can go, I turned my life around and found happiness again.
What worked for me will work for you and it will provide one thing they deserve, and that antidepressant drugs can never provide: a permanent cure for their suffering
.IMPORTANT: Please consult with your health professional before you stop taking any antidepressant drugs
