The Worst Way to Treat Depression (Revealed!)

Depression is not an issue to take lightly.
It impacts your mood (sadness, apathy, mood swings), your behavior (social isolation, agitation), your cognitive function (lack of concentration, thoughts of suicide in some), your sleep (insomnia, restless sleep), and your body (fatigue, loss of appetite).
Of course, these factors can’t help but spill over into your relationships, your work, and your overall quality of life.
I hope you’ve never faced clinical depression.
But if you’re one of the 18 million people in the US who have—and if you’ve ever taken or considered taking antidepressants—then you’ll want to read this.
There’s a big fat secret about antidepressants that Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know… but thankfully, word is finally starting to get out.
Antidepressants don’t work.
Study after study has shown that they either don’t work from the get-go… or they stop working after taking them for a period of time.
And yet—and YET—doctors prescribe them like they’re the only solution, and patients continue to take them because they don’t know any better.
Now, here’s another study to pile on to the proof.
A large study that tracked millions of Americans compared the outcomes of patients taking antidepressants to those not taking the drugs.
They found that there was NO DIFFERENCE in either the mental or physical quality of life scores over a two-year period between the two groups.
In other words… the antidepressants were completely ineffective.
Sometimes we feel like doing something is better than nothing.
That is NOT the case with antidepressants.
Because while they might NOT be helping your depression, they have the potential to cause side effects that can ruin your quality of life as much as the depression itself.
The researchers hoped that future studies would look into non-pharmaceutical ways to treat depression in combination with antidepressants.
I have a better idea.
Ditch the antidepressants (after talking to your doctor, of course), and focus on treatments that can make a real difference.
And in the meantime, keep reading articles like these for natural ways to prevent and fight depression.
Here is one to get you started.
