Yes Linkadge!...I like your question!
>Tell me one alternative, non drug approach to treating depression that I have not yet tried.
I dare you !!I asked Nezirov this same thing in a similar way..
Like I said before, you can quite easily, Nezirov, say that all these medications are a disgrace and psychiatry is terrible etc etc Bear in mind though that as much as your intentions maybe good for informaing people of this....they may also be offending people in way because other people on here reply on such medications..
I personally think you most probably didn't really need to even be prescribed an anti-depressant in the first place, would you agree?...In a nutshell your views are based on people who have very mild symtoms then and could be helped by talk therapy perhaps ~ you speak for these people with mild symtoms, who go to a doctor presenting these mild symtoms but get medication when it is not needed.
In the mean time understand that most people on this board, I believe do not have mild symtoms like yourself.
Many of these people cannot simply say "oh I'm not going to take my meds because I get sexual side effects" because if they don't take their meds they get sucide thoughts and extream side effects from there illness which far out-weigh the side effects from the medications.
You answered this question eariler with a very bold statement indeed.
---------------------
> Invent a better drug youself, in your basement.
Huh? Actually I have the scientific exertise to do that
--------------------
What is your scientific background?
Like I said before "anti psychiatry" people think they have all the ansers becasue they can say how bad medications are and so on.
Now you have expressed many many times your view on this.
Lets you if you can now do the same with so many writings on how you personally think you can treat:
Schizophrenia - Paranoid, delusional, etc.
Bipolar disorder - Mania Symtoms, Mixed states & Bipolar depression.
Severe depression
Severe depression with anxiety
Servere anxiety
ADHD
I look forward to the many positive repsonses which could possibly equal the many negative ones you have to say about psychiatry...possibly without a politicians answer - by which I mean direct sloutions to the illness presented before us today.
Kind regards
Nick
