RE: IS THE CURE FOR DEPRESSION HIDDEN IN OUR BRAINS? [PART 1]

in #life7 years ago

This is excellent. I've been dealing with anxiety, panic attacks and depression for most of my life. I just finished reading a book on coping mechanisms for panic attacks....Trying to avoid the fear of the physical sensations which causes the full blown attack. Your article reminds me of what I've read before regarding the link between depression and being disconnected from nature. I look forward to reading more from you!

I think most inflammatory diseases of our times are due to the fact that our bodies were simply made for a completely different environment than the one we live in. The other obvious example being of course obesity. I also think that we are dealing with depression in the completely wrong way. Pills don't really offer much. Whatever you give you the human brain, it will eventually develop tolerance towards it. In the cases that antidepressants do ''help'', it's usually with patients who would have improved anyway, with or without pills.
