Women are pushed into unnatural roles for the sake of "equality". Families are falling apart and neighbours hardly talk to each other. Is it any wonder that people's mental health suffers? Along comes the pharmaceutical company, offering you a quick fix...<br /><br />That's how I see it.

Stress hormone cortisol will quite literally burn connections in your brain, if cortisol levels are high for a long period of time (or extremely high stress for shorter period of time). <br /><br />This is why the serotonine theory does not work: increasing serotonin (or other neurotransmitter) levels in your brain wont help if the synapses are not there! It is like pouring gasoline all over your car, but the engine wont start because there are no pipes for the gasoline. Well, maybe this was very bad metaphor.Housewife Outdoorsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-90336480996539016872018-05-28T05:10:41.112-07:002018-05-28T05:10:41.112-07:00Isn't depression often the consequence of stre...Isn't depression often the consequence of stress? In this case, a less stressful life will sure help. Yes, I know, the modern idea that life happens "at work" is insane. I've been thinking of writing a post on this very topic.

I also know lot of people who use them. They make you fat, frigid and aggressive. And they are useless to most people, studies show that their effect is quite similar to that of plasebo's.<br /><br />My depression started getting better when I decided with my husband that no matter what, I do not need to join worklife never again. Obviously my doctor thinks that I am still sick and working would heal me because "then you could feel you are a part of this society". :rolleyes: For your information, my fellow housewifes, according to my doctor, you are not a part of society! Neither are children nor elderly people who do not work. Or unemployed, I assume. ;)<br /><br />Housewife Outdoorsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-61975078949624203272018-05-26T00:41:46.110-07:002018-05-26T00:41:46.110-07:00Interesting!I usually get most of my info from Dr....Interesting!I usually get most of my info from Dr. Mercola though he is more paleo than me:)<br /><br />The strangest part of it all is that drug abuse is considered a horrible horrible thing unless it's prescription drugs and than somehow it's all fine and dandy. Unless a person is older and/or has a very serious medical condition care should be used, especially if the medication is in any way addictive. I know smb who once had a surgery for a benign breath tumor, and she refused to take morphine after it, because of how addictive the stuff is plus it made her feel worse than pain she experienced.

I would not be surprised to learn that all these crazy shooters had been on psychiatric meds.<br />On the blog madinamerica.com, I recently found info on something called Soteria, which is alternative treatment in a home-like atmosphere, focusing on "sincere human involvement and understanding", treating people with dignity and respect.<br />Too many people are worshiping at the altar of the quick fix for their problems, to the utter detriment of the world as we know it.<br />I am shocked to hear of people that I know personally taking "a little something to make me feel better". If only they knew they were damaging their brains and that there was no chemical imbalance in their brains UNTIL they began to take the medication!!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446471087473468726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139017677124620997.post-61741183995207373932018-05-25T14:40:08.178-07:002018-05-25T14:40:08.178-07:00I will admit I'm always interested in natural ...I will admit I'm always interested in natural remedies.
