Are antidepressants good for you?

Depression is a fake illness made up by trashy people who want to justify their poor behaviour.

This

Well that's obviously false, what about antibiotics preventing infections, and anti-venoms for people who have been bitten by snakes, etc.

No. Depression is an excuse to avoid responsibility. Physiology is the jewish science and it's purpose is to crush the spirit of the goyim.

I'd give my left nut for a pill that actually worked.

So far I've spent over $100k in therapists and treatments and drugs and nothing's done a fucking bit of good. The only conclusion one can make is it's all a giant fucking lie. National Socialism is the only possible cure to what ails us.

chill out man
smoke some weed, oh wait. You can't

They're mostly trash. I'm instead using an anti seizure medicine which has been a life saver for me. None of the negative effects of an ssri. It's a far better approach to treating depression and anxiety disorders.

You race traitor. Depression is an externally applied device to control and diminish resistance.

They've fucked up my brain so much. Prozac, Lexapro, Zoloft, etc. They turn me into an emotionless zombie. While I'm on them I can't work, can't exercise, and can't go to school. They fog up my brain to the point where I can't even think. Someone may say something to me and it would take 3 or 4 seconds just for my brain to process the information. Not to mention it kills your virility permanently, even after quitting antidepressants you will never be able to get as hard as you previously did.
Just go to a mental hospital and look at the people who are "regulars." Their brains are completely destroyed from years of taking cocktails of medications, yet they're constantly being committed to mental hospitals for suicide risk.
I vowed to myself that I'll never take antidepressants again. I still have depression but at least I'm not a sluggish idiot who sleeps 12 hours a day.

>Physiology
I assume you meant to say psychiatry, you fucking idiot.

When they work they work very well, but when they don't they are the most dangerous harmful shit out there. I think the main problem is they are prescribing anti-depressants to young people with still developing brains. What works for them can turn into something that doesn't just a few months down the line.

Sounds like they're working as intended.

For 40,000 years we've persevered and suddenly it's impossible without gulping down pills.

Anyone in this thread know how antidepressant bloodscreening works? I don't take mine because they fuck up my sleep schedule but need to make sure they show up on some blood work I'm getting done soon to make sure my psychiatrist doesn't lose her shit. A friend said I need to take it two weeks early because they're long acting meds and the blood work tracks how ingrained it is in your system but they're not sure if just taking it five days early would be sufficient to fool the tests. Anyone here have experience pulling the wool over their psych's eyes on taking their meds?

They have some nasty side effects (especially the potent ones) but you should never rely on the meds only. It has been proven that antidepressants are more effective in conjunction with therapy (there is about a 75% success rate). In any case, it is best to check in with the doctor regularly so he can adjust the dosage or even change the medication if needed.

they are chemical lobotomies, stop them now to mitigate any more harm and start going to the gym.

Go lift iron or run for an hour and it is near impossible to say you are depressed.

Oops. Yea. I meant to say psychology

The issue would be that for the last few decades or so we in the western world have been placed into an environment that is incredibly different from what our bodies and minds spent 40,000 years adapting to.

It’s amazing how bored your mind gets when you aren’t chasing dinner for the better part of the day. Our problem is short lifespan, we have it infinitely better than people did even 100 years ago but since we have no first hand knowledge, social rejection is literally the worst thing in the world to us, on-par with starvation and polio

Fucking this, barbells save lives. Squat rack 2-3x/week and you don't even need to lift as much your arms will get bigger from the t bost and so will your cock

I have depression and mental illnesses. Haven't taken a pill for any of it. I would've snapped by now I imagine. I'll just coast like this until I die, I can manage it most of the time.

Keep fighting burgerbro, I'm pretty much the same way if I don't take meds for my thyroid., and want to end it all.

Take St. John's wort instead of Jew chemicals.

No really. Well at least no the ones we have now, like citalopram. They even are connected to suicide on kids. New drugs are being tested like MDMA, Magic mushrooms Ketamin (illegal drugs) and they are throwing positive results
Sometimes antidepressants are not much better than a placebo. From my point of view is better therapy. Self help book can help as a support with therapy.I think the more effective therapies are:CBT (by Aaron Beck) and REBT (by Albert Ellis).
David Burns, a psychiatrist, was an student from both of theses psycologies and from his point of view none form of therapy is better (neither cbt neither rebt). His says "tools, not school of therapy" and "skills, no pills".

He favours CBT but again he thinks is no panacea. He has a model call TEAM CBT which mixes tools from others therapies.
So the whole idea for CBT and REBT can be resume by Epictetus, a philosopher, he said ‘it is not events that disturb us, but our interpretation of the event‘.

Burns, Beck, Ellis, all agree on the idea that the majority of our emotional problems are because our irrational thoughts nor external factors.
So when you change the way you think, you can change the way you feel.

Burns on his model talks about addressing the resistance you can have to change. Maybe you want to be happy or have a good relationship with your family. But you seem to feel to comfortable doing nothing or you gain something of your depression like feeling like a victime or your angry to your family because you want them to act like you think is ok but they dont do it.
He explains that in his models he doesn't view your depression on anxiety or anger as a defect, they only show part of you that can be positive and even beautiful.
Read "when panic attacks","feeling good", "feeling good together" by David Burns

Nope... pharma is a mask for those weaklings not willing to do the character development and personal healing of both physical and mental emotional stuff. So knuckle down, buckle down and do the work instead of lookin' for a pill pansy.

chin up mapley homeboy. it will all be ok.

Hasn’t your doc prescribed a tranquilizer? It’s safer to tell her the meds don’t help you.

Short answer is no they don't and there is litte good evidence to suggest they do.

It's not a cure, but like this user says they keep you from killing yourself. Yes it is not a permanent solution and is not good to depend on for when shit actually hits the fan in the US, but they allow you to make the necessary improvements in your life so that you will not feel the desire to kill yourself when you go off of them. It is a process that may take years to accomplish however, as it probably took you years to get your life to the point where you think about ending it.

They fuck you up with side effects that can be permanent (like impotence) and are repeatedly shown to be no more effective than literal placebo in studies, so no. Your life sucks because you're depressed and you hate yourself.

That's no true. Theres some side effects like impotence but no permanently.

>TL:DR yes and no take the medication and get better (maybe)
So many words to say it's bullshit and we don't know.

No. Psychiatry is protomedicine. They will be regarded in the future as we regard alchemists today

This guy knows the truth.

The people running the studies of effectiveness make no distinction between the observable gradations and causal groups of mental illness. For example, there might be somebody who has depression because their kid got hit by a bus, and somebody who has depression because they just fucking have depression their entire life for no reason. The first category is obviously extremely fucking different than the second and correcting the first person to their normal state is possible with time, hence therapy and pills get rated as "working". They pack the studies with the type of depression they want to get the result they want. This type of academic fraud, specifically the type of taking subsets of a population who will have favorable outcomes and generalizing to the entire group, is endemic of the field, do not fucking trust it. It is a complete joke.

Not reading your post but I'll answer your question

There is literally no reason what so ever to take any SSRI or anti anxiety meds. Diet and lifestyle changes will cure your issues while meds will hide them. This is fact and the reality of the situation. People inside the thread saying they need the meds are people who flip out when they stop taking them because the problems are all worse.

I have never known someone who has benefited from the meds. They all diminish personality and creativity while numbing their minds. Dozens of people are no longer human in my life because of these meds.

I've done a lot of reflection on this as I have probably been "depressed" for 14-16 years. When everyone keeps telling you everything is great and made out of rainbows and that is a complete lie how would you expect some people not able to cope? Society and people are utter garbage. People can label me depressed or depressing all they want. I always say I'm a realist and when I ask them to come with counter arguments everyone pulls out of the discussion. I wonder why that is. I sincerely believe there are people who are depressed for real as a mental disorder. The vast majority? No. I believe that is people unable to cope or make their own path in life after realizing not everything is fluffy unicorns and rainbows which sends them down a spiral of REALISM. Not depression.

depression is a side effect of living in a corporate hell hole, if you are not PARANOID then you are not paying attention.

I was on Prozac for 3 years, then lexapro for another 2. I stopped taking it on my own back in September, no doctors guidance. Had 2 weeks of basically withdrawal: shakes, anxiety, no appetite, morning dry heaving. But now I feel like I'm excelling, like I can actually feel good about myself for accomplishing things. Which, in turn, drives me to accomplish things. I don't doubt that they've helped you, and I know it's scary to come off them (especially cold turkey). But they aren't the key to your ultimate happiness.

Also, since coming off them, I post about 2 Atlantis threads a day on here and talk to my friends about the JQ

doctor's are criminals fro handing these deadly drugs out like candy. YOU do realise the anti depressants get in the water supply.

People who promote pharma jew pills should be killed. This is actual mind control. The DSM is pure bullshit designed to control people.

I'm on a pretty dynamic cocktail of meds, some work some don't. It's much more of a guarantee that I stay on the dosage of meds that work if I just continue to lie taking the antidepressants. On top of that, most anti depressants have pretty horrible side effects. No psychiatrist is just going to stop prescribing me antidepressants given my diagnosis, they're just going to try and put me on different ones, a months long process of experimentation I'm no longer willing to go through.

No, it was made up by pharma jews to deal out chemical lobotomies to free thinkers.

Dude fuck antidepressants. They make you completely happy with a shitty life. They make you complacent. If you are unlucky they kill your libido, if your really unlucky they kill it PERMANENTLY. Don't look up those symptoms goy! Just keep forking over the cash to the pharmaceutical company and to your counselor.

We don't know what causes depression, or why you are depressed. And we don't care. Eat some colored pills to fuck with your neurotransmitters some more because you need a pill!

My high school math grades went from straight A's to C's and D's after going on Prozac. They are Golem zombification pills.

This.

If you are actually suicidal without then yeah please. I find I become suicidal anyway. I have since learned to deal. I can't change anything about what happened I can just move on.

>I've never seen anyone cured by them do they actually work?

male "pornstars" use them to ejaculate slower, they also make you manic. "cured" is not a thing among pills to be cured of something you need surgery or strong antibiotics

Honestly you are subhuman and are part of the problem for why people get depressed in the first place

If you aren’t disabled in some way there is no excuse to bring depressed

It works for a limited time, the depression WILL come back if you don't keep taking higher and higher doses or fix your actual problems. It's also a real bitch weening yourself off of them.

This. After I took Prozac I never really was the same. My drive was already pretty shot but Prozac took something out of me. Like I really don't feel the same and it caused more issues for me to work through.

>We don't know what causes depression, or why you are depressed. And we don't care. Eat some colored pills to fuck with your neurotransmitters some more because you need a pill!

They really need to die. This is too much. Pharma jew shit is a control tool handed down by the jew elites. It lets malicious personality types destroy those around them with impunity.

I've been prescribed several different anti-depressants over the course of 10 years. The most they ever did was cause me to be stable and not lash out, although they zapped me of any energy and motivation and ability to be truly happy. I'm weaning myself off of them now as I'm convinced they're a scam.

They aren't a cure as much they "stave it off". If it was a cure then you would take X amount for Y amount of time and you would no longer suffer Z. That's a cure.
But truthfully why would you want to find a cure? Like Willy Wonka, I never understood his business model. He's creating a neverending gobstopper, which we know aren't expensive because he's creating them specifically for people who are poor. So once the poor people all buy one, they don't need to buy another. The income from that product will immediately cease once they all have one each.
So it's similar to how the (((big pharma))) works, why, assuming you could, would you want to give someone a pill that cures whatever ailment they have when you can just keep them coming back week after week to part with their hard earned shekels when basically that's the only choice they have, because you pick and choose what drugs the goys are and are not allowed.
It's not like any of the goys these days would say anything, they literally live to (((rent))), they don't buy, own, have the finished product, they borrow it for an extended time.

>"You just bought that house?"
>"Nah renting it m8, paying £X per month"
>"How much did you pay for that car?"
>"Finance m8, only £X per month so it's not bad"
>"Have you got any good VHS/DVDs/Blu-Rays/whatever generation your from, I can lend for tonight?"
>"Don't buy them m8, I just watch the Netflix innit, only £X per month"
>"You have any CDs or anything?"
>"I have some MP3s"
>"Can you stick them on [device] for me?"
>"Can't m8, just stream them through Spotify, it's only £X per month, I think it's worth it"

Etc etc etc. The only thing they seem to buy new is clothes and that's only because they don't want to be left behind in the (((fashion))) stakes and be ridiculed. Anyone who follows (((fashion))) shows you how much of a goy they are, buying clothes that they'll say are awful in 6 months time, why? Because that's what goys do - as they're told.

the depression you are talking about is not the same as actual depression
Acual depression needs it's named changed to somthinge else because Acual depression is a disorder in which your brain does not produce enough or any of the hormone that simulates the feel good emotions and sleep

>We don't know what causes depression
The majority of depression is caused by the mentality of the individual, either inflicted upon oneself or by one's environment, and the rest can be linked to a lack of proper dopamine production in the brain whenever said individual performs an activity that otherwise be pleasurable. Leftytards don't like this answer though because it would imply that one can overcome depression with the right therapy because depression works as an easy victim complex for the left. As long as depression is wrongly pushed as "uncurable" and isn't linked by any certain age/sex/race/etc. requirements, anyone can pretend they have depression for victim pity points.

Antidepressants can only help you fix the dopamine production issues. They cannot fix the self-inflicted or environmentally inflicted issues that lead to one's depressed outlook. Only the dopamine underproduction part of depression is genetic.

The drugs can help, but the side effects of coming off of them are very strong since your body got used to relying on them to help with dopamine production among other processes. Ideally, you should work out the issues with therapy before even considering popping pills but if you are already taking a prescription you still need to seek help for fixing the environment/lifestyle you have that's causing you to be unhappy with yourself.

But then there's the moral dilemma of whether we consider "Actual Depression" as a physical disability that needs to be weeded out of the gene pool or not.

No, no one understands the problem but here take these pills, sometimes they seem to hep some times they make things worse but yolo take them every day. That will be $1000 shekels a month goyim.

I had depression when I realized I'm going to die on die and be alone in the dark forever.
But I got over it in a few days, nothing

good for you. any time someone is happy its a good thing.

you wont be alone long. the worms will keep you company.

they used to call it manic depressive, i think, which makes more sense.
it's the same way i think we need a separate word for "rape" (he didn't stop when i said no), and actual rape, attacking you in an alley and fucking you.

Was on them for around 4-5 years. Things got worse and worse and worse. I stopped cold turkey, had withdrawals for a few months. Now I'm good and healthy and haven't had suicidal thoughts in a long time. At first they seemed to work but then it just got progressively worse. Don't ever take anti-depressants. Literal goy poison.

They're toxic shit that make people worse in many cases and have a host of awful side effects.

As for people who are 'suicidal' without them? Personally I doubt it, sounds like placebo effect to me but honestly if someone needs a pill to stop them killing themselves we should just let do it. People that mentally weak aren't worth keeping around.

you can doubt it but there's literally people who are suicide machines and if left untreated they will attempt suicide.
i think anti depressants are given out too freely. i think around 70% of users are female (going off memory). there is a small subset of people who need them though.

Remember when medical science used to CURE things and not just TREAT them?

was on them
have permanent mental changes and sexual problems now. quit few years ago
thanks, kikes.

I don't believe that. Most humans have the free will to control their actions. Suicide is a conscious choice. If you're referring to somebody who because of retardation or something is unable to control their actions and keeps trying to hurt themselves then they should be locked away somewhere rather than given pills because they are mad and a danger to the public.

Suicide is most common atheistic societies, because the taboo towards it has disappeared. In Muslim and strongly Catholic countries it's less common because they are taught repeatedly that suicide is one of the worst sins.

It probably wasn't the pills, just you aging. Once the chemicals are flushed out your body there are no lasting effects

all mass-murder-suicide pills are bad. you need more nature, not more chemicals.

Google “psychiatrist job CIA.” Number of psychiatrist job openings exceeds number of CIA employees. Stay far away from psychiatrists.

nah, look up lingering sexual effects of ssri's. rare but happens. this stuff can change your brain

plus it happened overnight it wasnt a gradual change. i never recovered back to 100%

>tfw reading these comments
>all you ever took was Ambien for sleep

SSRIs increase the risk of suicide. It's such a common "side effect" that big pharma can't even deny it. They had to put a warning on the box.

Their excuse is that the patients were too apathetic to kill themselves before taking antidepressants, but the drugs worked so well that they finally have the motivation to commit suicide. How amazing!
