ARE ANTIDEPRESSANTS SUCKING OUT YOUR LIFE??



ANTIDEPRESSANTS SUCKING OUT YOUR LIFE??  It’s been a concern for some time that antidepressants (namely SSRIs) flatten out a person affect–sort of like Botox for the mood.  Further concern over contribution to antidepressant medication in situations like Columbine exist, especially given the freedom which prescriptions for this class of drugs are given out by PCPs.

This article finds that the response to a reward (in this case chocolate) was blunted by SSRIs.  Exercise, healthier diet, Vitamin D, stress management, sunlight and increased intake of healthier fats have all been shown to greatly improve mental health and brain function, with only positive “side effects.”
