@Jérémy no I know what you mean to much of anything can kill you.

Unfortunately it's a consequence a metabolic syndrome. Your neurons will be deprived of glucose, killing them. This causes the secondary depression.

@@iamthehype3684 Jeremy is correct. Breathing pure oxygen is harmful and can be toxic. People on oxygen are not just breathing the oxygen from the tank, they are also breathing the surrounding air. The tank of oxygen is supplementing the oxygen they are breathing from the air. I believe his point was about breathing ONLY the pure oxygen.

That's merry-go-wrong if you ask me.

one more thing there is the inability to concentrate on anything that you might like and hence can take you out of depression

+Patricia Ricken Leroux On youtube the system is different. you are advertised to based on your search history but youtube advertising is selective which is why you won't see an ad for a horror movie before a Cartoon Network Video. usually it has to do with how the video is tagged or what channel it is, branded companies and popular channels.

Those are both the same drug, sort of. Lexapro is a slightly modified version of celexa because their patent expired and they needed to keep making money. Lexapro was good for me 20 years ago but I tried it again last year and the side effects were so bad I couldn't empty my bladder properly.

That's seriously fucked up.. But with drugs affecting brain I could understand that it sometimes might end up really bad, it somehow could be understood. To me seemed worse that acne cream that could cause in some cases deadly bleeding diarhea. That is seriously disproportionaly high risk compared to what it was supposed to treat.

I love your hair.

Those warnings actually lies too. If you don't have suicidal or homicidal thoughts to begin with, taking anti depressants can't make them magically appear, just like they don't make them magically disappear. That means, if you already have them, then in a depressed state they are likely either supressed or used as a fixation point, because in a depressed state you aren't energetic enough to act on them. However, if you uncontrollably take antidepressants while having suicidal, homicidal or any other obsessions, you might end up in a situation, where you don't have enough time to asses your options (if you take too high of a dose, or if you're isolated yourself, and don't have anyone to talk to), you're energetic enough to act on your obsessions and from a fixation points they become actual goals, since you don't have any other goals at this very moment.

thts an awesome explanation

Mordewolt You're wrong on that I am afraid

Yep. Empty yer bank account.

Good to hear about a positive experience for once. I have been depressed for a long time, about 9 years now, and I haven't once turned to anti-depressants because I'm scared to death of them. I figured that I'll wait for the science to catch up, but it has also taken a big toll on me. I'm 27 years old and completely reliant on my parents, because I can no longer will myself to repeat the same patterns everyday that normal people do, let alone working or studýing. And it just so happens my friends are all financially successful and self-reliant, so of course they don't understand why I don't just apply for jobs and make money. Anyway, I'm at the point where I might as well experience the horrors or trying on different anti-depressants. Maybe I'll get enough energy to do exercise and some other meaningful self-care

Hi Jacqueline & Fabienne Everyone has to decide for their self what to believe and what not to believe and what a person chooses can affect their mental (spiritual) and physical health.

Exactly. Like, I don't get mad very often (as in week or months go by when I'm just casual) but the moment I do, my grandmother insists that I have mood swings, so a doctor gave me some medication to regulate that. Except that it had no effect because I never had symptoms to begin with. So naturally the doctor upped my dosage like every other day.

Still not good, but way less worse than it may at first seem.

@@lunakoala5053 I love your comments

Bralph888 what did you do instead of taking their prescribed shit?

Easy way to combat depression is hobbies. Do something that makes you happy. Whether its games, watching movies, or hell even releasing sexual tension as your body literally can't tell the difference from stress and sexual stress. What ever releases dopamine generally will help you. Also avoid depressing shit. Like movies that have a bad ending or bittersweet or a show that is overly dramatic that pulls on your heart strings.Basically avoid what puts you down and focus on what builds you up. Medicines can help but really if you do what I said it can get you off of it. Just manage your emotions. It may sound hard but all you need to do is stuff you like. And if it literally requires no effort like tv shows or movies then all the more easier to fight the lack of motivation depression can cause.

@@densetsu4286 I had to do the prescribed route because I didn't just have a lack of motivation I also received little to no pleasure doing anything including once favorite hobbies. It took 3 freaking years to stop suicidal thoughts and get some inkling of pleasure back. And I still sleep too freaking much.

@@beautylikeatulip well we are all different and not every method works for everyone. This is just what works for me. Just making sure positive dopamine can be released in my brain to lighten my mood. Comedy for me is by far the best. Es specially standup due to it being so relatable at times and hilarious as well.

My boss suggested once that I should take antidepressant medication and I said to him I would rather receive a shot in my face to do that.

Except if you still live in Seattle.

or, to being 'rogered'

For example, if one drug is effective for a parent, it's much more likely to be effective for their child. Not only that but some people have purely chemical depression that will go away with medicine, for some people they only have life issues to sort out because they've lived with depression for so long it's affected their ability to function in general, like how someone may have a permanent limp in the future if their broken leg isn't treated properly during the healing process

Interesting.

So since everyone is different it's liker everyone is an unpaid tester/guinea pig? it's like unfinished $60 video games where we pay to be beta testers.

And the idea that depression is so mysterious and complicated that it's impossible to determine its etiology is potentially very dangerous. A lot of doctors take "depression" as a self-explanatory diagnosis and medicate accordingly. But, say, thyroid damage, whether by autoimmune disease or cancer, can also cause depression; so the idea that one doesn't need to look any further after diagnosing depression allows those diseases to progress. Even after it was obvious my thyroid was the problem, it took me years to find a psychiatrist who would base my treatment plan on the results of regular blood panels rather than going by How Sad I Felt.

Since we don't know how the brain fundamentally works, we don't know how any mental illness works or how medications work. It's not a chemical imbalance and who the fuck knows really? Antidepressants create an artificial condition that your brain has to compensate around. This compensation is the false happy feeling you get until your brain becomes so tolerant to the drugs that maybe it changes permanently or something (who knows? not psychiatrists) and they stop working. Then it's time for the next one and the next one until the healthcare industry has milked your insurance for every penny it can and you are a husk of what you once were that you can't really even remember.

chaosmastermind I’m a girl and I understand. Soft dick makes me miserable too!

Fluffynator Um...that’s factually incorrect. SSRIs work by blocking the reuptake of serotonin (a neurotransmitter) in the synapses of the brain, increasing the amount available. Loss of sex drive is a super common side effect and it also happened to me when I used to take them. I don’t know where you learned whatever you’re talking about, but it’s dangerous to go around saying things like that. You’ll contribute to the stereotypes and misconceptions that make the systemic problem worse 🙈

@Fluffynator My prescriber straight up told me it could make it harder for me to cum. And it did. But there is a cost-benefit analysis.

Antidepressants don't "induce to suicide". Depressed people sometimes commit suicide, and depressed people also use antidepressants, therefore sometimes people using antidepressants commit suicide, not because of the drug, but because of the mental ìllness the drug was used to treat. Of course these drugs aren't without their side effects, but they aren't supposed to be used without a good reason, i.e. only for severe depression with risk of suicide or disability, not for mild depression or just bad mood. If the illness can lead to death or disability, one can accept the risk of side effects, do you not agree?

@@exantiuse497 yeah no, they can trigger suicidal feelings. The drug companies admit it. BTW, antidepressants are the most addictive drugs to try and get off of.

@@madtabby66 Agreed, suicide is a possible side effect of the withdrawal from the meds or even just taking it at the wrong time. Even the drug companies admit this.

@@exantiuse497 i disagree, my wife has been struggling with depression all of her life and only once has she thought of suicide and that was on meds

Okay so suicide risk is higher for people who start antidepressants within the first week or so but there is a reason for it. Lots of them work by delaying the reuptake of seretonin in your synapses which basically bridge the gap an electrical impulse has to cross so you can feel things. So early on, it hasnt had the chance to properly make you *feel* better but it gives you more energy and motivation to plan a suicide attempt - and better planning makes them more dangerous. So they do work if you get the right ones and ride through that early period. The additional suicidality is, weirdly, the first step to them making you better. It just needs to be accompanied with careful planning, awareness from loved ones and a very good crisis plan

Yup, one of those pesky side effects can make you feel much worse. Usually because it's a guessing game to find the right tablet and dose

it's a temporary effect since antidepressants tend to restore motivation before reducing the depression

buntcubbles ah yes, because only doctors have ever dealt with antidepressants. Nobody who's a patient would have any experience with being on them.

***** A temporary effect that can have permanent consequences

Like so many other medications out there. Some acne meds can cause suicidal thoughts. but at least one can be monitored and kept safe (in hospital if need be) until the true effect of the meds can be determined. taking heart meds can have permanent consequences from a risk that lasts indefinitely yet hardly anyone bashes those.

Positive psychology teaches people to subject happiness on themselves, and if they can't subject happiness on themselves,-like they are supposed to believe- than they should take drugs to help them get their. Either way, its implied that you should artificially manifest happiness, when in reality, emotions don't work that way. I am not here to discredit the reality of depression, and thank you for your information about the drugs, but I am speaking in the perspective of a man indifferent to the idea of blocking out unpleasant thoughts, when, for most people, what we should really be doing is working out those unpleasant emotions. Sadness and anger don't just exist to give us a hard time,, after all.

I think I took Paxil at one point but the one they had me stay on was Abilify. I also went through those same symptoms stopping the Abilify so I hear ya.

When you were going off them did you feel depressed? For how long? I don't know if I still have depression or if it's just the withdrawal.

truth is, sadly the medical field is also a business. doctors gives a when they see b and that's all they do, humans are far more complex. self medication is the best solution for stress and depression.

I was placed on zoloft for 3 years. I was dead convinced I needed it to stay sane, but eventually my friends got through to me and I realized I was just a zombie. Getting off it sucked I was moody as hell and it was hard to control my emotions but all my friends were happy because I was HAVING emotion. After a bit, my moods calmed down and now Im just a normal person. I still have bad moods sometimes, but thats normal and okay.

It is a good thing you are alright after stopping your medication BUT many people will not be. If video's like this one scare you - although it has ,many valid points. PLEASE talk to your doctor about your medication and desire to try being without medication. In most cases the doctor will help you.

that's not the point at all. This video is not anti-medication. It is not saying that anti-depressants are never useful. It says that it shouldn't be taken by people without the expertise of a doctor. If you didn't auto-diagnose yourself with a bipolar disorder, then your comment is irrelevant.

Bro all the problem is in your head. You're paying other people for lying to you. Tsk2 so sad

My bipolar meds are not antidepressants - but they are used for epilepsy as well.

@@monhbatonon6333 You must be one of the lucky ones who have never experienced mental illness, my friend. Wanting to die since I was thirteen years old and having no control over how upset minor inconveniences made me was not, in fact, all in my head. Losing friends and family because I could not regulate my own emotions was not all in my head. The scars on my wrists are not all in my head, and neither was the attempt on my own life I performed while I was in high school. Do not comment on things you have absolutely no knowledge about.

What are you on? Cause I’ve tried like 6 different antidepressants/antipsychotics/mood stabilisers and none of them have really worked. Mood stabilisers were the worst, literally made me devoid of life, I didn’t even look at my phone, let alone do anything else

What do you mean?

They used to be kind of just "haha, see how these business people are not to be trusted", now it feels outright scary, like it's getting waaay to close to Dark Truths. George Orwell wrote "1984", creating the term "Big Brother", and this feels like even HE would be scared of what we are now seeing people like "Roger" doing to control us :-o I still enjoyed the video, of course!

Orwell in 2016 LUL

Soon it will be Grim and Dark... in the far future of Grim Dark...

Yeah, no. It's nearly impossible that 1984 can become a reality in today's society. In a post-apocalyptic scenario, or if you live in North Korea, sure.

I'm glad the antidepressants made such a difference for you! That's wonderful. I think the point of the video is that antidepressants shouldn't be overprescribed, not that they shouldn't be prescribed at all. My antidepressant tried to kill me (it's more complicated than that, but for sake of time I'll leave it at this). If my doctor hadn't been so happy to prescribe without question, and if she had listened when I mentioned the terrible side effects, that never would have happened. Antidepressants just need to be used with skill and good judgement.

How do you know if your still depressed..🤔

Idk never had depression in my life,,,

The most cynical people are often also very deeply insightful and pensive with a sensitive underbelly. They just need a layer of protection from the bs they have known was there since they were young. Question everything .

I really like and 100% agree with your brilliant comment, from the day we are born until the day we die, we are used, indoctrinated into a system that is well established and ingrained into our society, go to work, pay extremely high taxes, that a large portion go directly to the privately owned federal reserve bank owners pockets.... your given foods that are genetically modified, which make you sick, the sugar and preservatives make you sick aswell, the heavily promoted alcohol and tobacco industry help to ruin your life, the gambling industry is everywhere now, designed to seperate you from your money, which its very good at...almost done, then when your sick you get to experience the pharmaceutical and crooked medical industries, they suck the life right out of you, and break you financially, if you can go back to work while dealing with these man made and nurtured illnesses, that's great, they can continue to squeeze the last ounce of tax money from you.. we are debt slaves, meant to be mindless, indoctrinated sheep that do what there told, and listen to a media that's has one job, keep us in line an lie to us on a daily basis

I agree on the meds, but no, depression is more than that, sadly the pills are a bad joke that in the long run make it worse.

Meds can work if you're patient enough to find the one that's right for you, give them enough time to get to work, and combine them with other types of therapy, though I agree that they should only be used in extreme cases because the side effects are so bad and other therapies tend to work much better/quicker. But that's something to discuss with a doctor. And depression is so much more than being sad. A lot of the time it feels more like crushing apathy. Even the simplest tasks like getting out of bed, answering a message, or doing the dishes feel impossible. For some men it can manifest as extreme anger. There's so much more to it than "feeling sad". People often say they feel "down" or "sad" because it seems like the simplest and most accessible way to describe a feeling that makes no logical sense. You telling your friends/ex gfs that their illness doesn't exist is not helpful, and they probably hate it. On top of that, if they really are depressed (which you're not qualified to assess no matter how well you think you know them) hearing that their illness isn't real enough times can cause them to avoid treatment and start hating themselves for not being able to just pull it together like everyone says they should, which puts them at higher risk for other mental illnesses, self-harm, and even suicide. So maybe don't do that anymore.

+Brutis119 "You have cancer? Just imagine you don't have cancer and it will go away!" That's effectively the argument you're giving. I think that medication alone wont stop depression, but it's something that needs treatment. Telling your friends to just "stop thinking about being sad" accomplishes nothing, and makes your friends feel worse that they can't just turn it off.

Amen.
