> Is it really untreated manic depression that caused all these brain abnormalities ? If untreated manic depression causes brain damage, the same magnitude of brain destruction has seen in those patients treated with medications. So isn't something missing here?
> When there were no drugs available to treat depression, many awesome brains still survived with this mysterious illness. Newton, Lincoln... Why the disease didn't make their brains a mush?For what it's worth..Lincoln DID take medication for "melancholy" called "blue mass"...but unfortunately it contained high levels of mercury, which exacerbated his condition...and for lack of a better word, turned his brain into "mush"
Newton also took medication for depression, this is a well established fact.

> Wouldn't it be better to fight depression without the aid of chemicals as our ancestors did? Like turning those negative symptoms into productivity ? (For example if you wake very early in the morning, you will have a great deal of time left to do something more than what you usually do)Our ancestors went to herbalists, and shamen...
our "ancestors" used a variety of medications derived from natural sources...the very medications we use today are based on naturally occuring substances.>
> Why Edronax (reboxetine) failed to get FDA approval ? Because neither reboxetine nor fluoxetine appeared superior to placebo in the treatment of depression according to one study. Shouldn't we have to read something between lines here ?The FDA did not approve reboxetine because the studies were performed outside of the US.
> Yes. Depression is a created illness, and antidepressants are a created necessity.
