I had severe depression for years. I was referred to a Chinese doctor with a reputation for curing hard cases. She asked me about my diet. I told her that eggs gave me severe asthma attacks, and that this had never happened before. She wrote a prescription for three antibiotics. I thought she was nuts. I took them, and within three days I have never experienced depression ever again. It was due to bad gut bacteria, killed with antibiotics.

Speaking as a 68 year old who has felt depressed from her earliest memories I think the reason why, no matter what happens, my depression never really goes away is because I see this world for what it truely is and its not a pretty picture - how can anyone be happy in this nasty blood soaked cesspit - you may not see it but I do. I live in a world wherein 70billion land animals are brought into existence annually, they are factory farmed and then slaughtered to be fed to a blood thirsty flesh loving human race - oh and lets now forget all the sea creatures another 100billion - its all killing killing killing - no amount of SSRI's is going to make me happy all the while I know this to be the truth. I'll be glad when its time up I hate this place it stinks.

This is a great topic. Thriving is the goal, surviving is not enough, yet anhedonia is even below surviving and merely existing. I had years of anhedonia and it was not until the ssri was removed that I started to recover some of my old self. My experience was a little different as I finally got a new team and was diagnosed as Autistic and with ME. Explains so much and now I know my fatigue is not “just depression”. It has a physical aspect and it explains why exercise seemed to make my depression worse. I am celebrating my first partial remission in 12 years. I look forward to part two.

Thank you for this. I think a lot of healthcare providers don't understand the patient's subjective experiences of MDD. I would be so grateful if you would continue to expound on these topics and lead us on an exploration of new possibilities beyond the old "chemical imbalance" narrative. I think anhedonia in particular is the most insidious and painful aspect of MDD. It does seem to me that anhedonia is rooted in the physiology of the brain, and that both chemical and behavioral interventions could affect that, but I would be very curious to know your thought on what interventions, clinical or otherwise, have shown some efficacy in addressing anhedonia as a symptom. Much appreciated!

I think you hit the point. I think it is impossible to use a scientific and objective analysis angle to look at a mentally ill patient. I think what the therapist can do is to understand the patient with heart, but the main power of change lies in the patient himself. So the conclusion is that psychotherapy should be the main treatment method, but I think modern psychotherapy has become based on emphasizing scientific principles, and I think this has lost the original spirit of psychotherapy. Everyone's problems are different, and there is no consistent answer. If the therapist wants to help, I think it is the therapist's strong empathy and ability to analyze things that lead the patient to see the root of their problems step by step. For example, I later found out that my problem was that I was escaping from this real society, because I felt that this social culture was difficult to adapt to, but how to enhance my confidence was something I had to explore, and the therapist could only play an auxiliary role.

I’m bi-polar spectrum, I consider the depressive side more debilitating and life threatening. In my experience I can see why psychiatrists try to address it from a medical standpoint as opposed from a patients narrative. After having routinely experienced ups and downs, it seems obvious to me that things like confidence, connectedness, meaning, etc really are just at the whim of the brain. One of the traumatic experiences I’m struggling with is that witnessing this routine inflation and destruction of my personality challenges the commonplace understanding of the self. (Just like schizophrenia) If I separate myself from the narrative, it does just seem like depressive episodes are considerable amounts of emotional pain, that don’t necessarily have to do with anything. It’s the experience of being relatively stable that connects people to narratives of meaning, confidence and purpose. The MDD may not see it, but as a BP it can change like a light switch, and you get that immediate clarity. I’ve had success keeping my mood good with routine like sleep, sunlight, diet and exercise but I’ve had to accept that NOTHING can get me to go to the gym if I’m experiencing anhedonia and avolition. What I’m trying to do now is experiment with using a short term stimulant to get me back into the gym mid depressive episode to get the upward momentum rolling again. Really curious if you have any off label suggestions for those who are looking for a non daily approach to interrupting an episode. Great video.

What medications- on anoher point- DO is make it easier or the patient- more open to starting things that might help them pursue passions, exercise, and become willing to connect more socially.Whe you're very depressed, it's the hopelessness that makes you unable.unwilling or that it's even possible to even TRY. I started my art again, took lpong walks w/ my dog (get a pet!), sstarted weight training and started WANtING to try new things and, with my anxiety under control, traveling more.

Really interesting. In his gripping recent memoir Donald Antrim writes: 'What is the hospital, if not all of us? What is medicine, if not touch?' It may be true that depression is (in part?) a social disease, caused by isolation, loneliness, or deprivation of touch. Or maybe it's the case that something in someone's life collapsed -- the very thing that someone had hoped would give life that much needed 'meaning'. But how to restore that part again, I wonder, if that's not something we should expect directly from medication or psychotherapy? Especially if someone is in the deep end of a major clinical depression and unable to experience, or unable to expect (or even accept) any support from social connections, even if there are close family members and friends around to offer it? Do you think there's some kind of order to be followed here: first medication and psychotherapy to help someone out of the darkest days of the depression (but which medication? and which therapy?) and then later, when some improvement is happening, something that is more rooted in daily life, in the realm of purpose, connection, touch, interest, ambition?

I would say all these things in various combinations have value. It's far too complex in comment to discuss all the various ways of evaluating and making decisions on medication and psychotherapy.

You brought up the doctor v patient dissonance which is something very important. I have a friend who studied psychology and therapy. He did everything by the book, got good grades, etc. But in chatting with him he didnt have the slightest clue what it felt like to be desperate, to be lonely, to feel like an alien, to want to die. He hadnt a clue. And all his solutions are based on putting the horse in front of the kart. Example: Healthy ppl enjoy walking in the forest therefor ppl who are mentally ill should walk in the forest. He never thought that its actually ppl who are declared as being healthy who enjoy walks in forests. Its because they are a certain way that the forest is enjoyable. He would say the same for exercise, for eating healthy, for socializing, for movies, hobbies etc. His idea is basically to try and make the so called mentally ill normal. Do what normal ppl do and you will feel normal which is good. This has been my experience of therapy. Just do what normal ppl do and you will feel ok. Absolute bullshit. You may be able to improve a persons emotional state with meds but many ppl who have serious mental health issues such as NPD, BPD, Autism, Anxiety Disorder, Schizo Affective Disorder etc are inherently broken due to a broken state of self that cannot be repaired as the self is unconscious. Normal ppl are normal due to a form of rearing that is conducive to social expectations, its why normal ppl dont really have a sense of self as theres nothing diverging about their experience for them to notice or reflect on. You cannot fit a square into a circle and this is very analogous to what therapy often attempts to do.

Many people also report becoming very emotional on it (me included). Obviously n=1, and I see you mainly focusing on strictly already proven medications, but maybe you could chime in on the purported mechanism of action of NSI-189, expansion of the hippocampus, which gets smaller due to depression.

Antidepressants also tend to use up Niacin......faster than if you were not on antidepressants...this will make your antidepressants not work properly. There are scientific papers on this

You'll never get better from pills. Fasting had a huge effect for me however. So has neutralized vinegar, you can find studies on its effects on depression.

Never seen them feel free to post them here, but if vinegar and fasting can cure everything I feel like we wouldn’t have a depression epidemic

What is your opinion about Magic Mushrooms for Depression
@ShrinksInSneakers Жыл бұрын
It will be a part of psychiatric treatment in the near future. So far the studies have been small and we need large RCTs to prove the effectiveness of these medications. Early data suggests psilocybin works but we need more data is the bottom line. I also doubt these will be disease modifying medications. This means that people will likely still be susceptible to future depressive episodes. The hope would be people would stay well longer and not require daily medications.

Medicine treats symptoms and has side effects. Diet is what most mental health issues can be fixed with.

do you experience depression? dont we all experience depression?

Sure have, and some depressions are mild chronic and may not require any intervention at all. Others may have transient psychosocial issues that lead to low mood again may not need treatment or CBT/psychotherapy may be enough. Usually by the time people are seeing a professional they have tried everything including lifestyle intervention. The reason people see professionals is to determine what is a pathological disease process and requires intervention and what is not. This video is discussing those more challenging situations. Hope this helps clear things up

Therapy has marginal effect at best and even in best case scenario you still need to keep going to therapy to sustain the effect. Dont let these grifters take your money, spend them on hobbies instead, woodworking or something. Where i live therapy is free and i was still not getting my moneys worth!

When a person is abused & their reaction is framed as illness, how can they recover? You're blaming a person for the actions of others !!! Psychiatry has got it badly wrong, 99.999% of the time.
