anti-d's

[TheDovic]

They do exactly the same thing to me. How do the majority of people take their anti-depressant medication today? Through pills. Whether its tranquilizers, stimulants, or pills, they both aid in lessening the emotional symptoms of depression, and they all have the same amount of potential to be used in "defeating" depression, or abused. I didn't mean it in a derogatory tone, I just simply called anti depressants what they are - pills.

 

 

 

The thing is depression isn't a disease, it is a behaviour. No behaviour is a disease, yet it is almost treated as such with the medication being administered. If you have a foreign infection in your body, you may need medication because it is from a third party source that has invaded your body. Depression however is determined by your thinking and your reality, therefore it is in a sense self inflicted and created by you. If you came to this state of depression naturally through your own thoughts and behaviours, then you are very well capable of getting out of it on your own as well.

 

I mean how did the human race survive without anti depressants before now? There was much harder times through out history filled with brutality and injustice, yet people were never able to resort to anti-depressants to help lessen the load and deal with their problems, they managed to get through it on their own. Our body is a self sufficient system after all. You give off the impression that anti-depressants have almost become necessary.

 

Both of you are correct! As my doctor put it just this morning, the debate about depression is much like the chicken and the egg i.e. which came first?

 

He explained it to me like this:

 

Some people's level of happiness is naturally lower due to brain make-up therefore they are more prone to depression. HOWEVER, all depression ultimately comes from cognitive distortions i.e. the way we see the world is skewed! As it comes from our perceptions it can ultimately be treated.

 

This is why CBT is so effective as it teaches people to recognise their cognitive distortions and challenge them. The more they challenge, the less depressed they feel and the more likely they are to reprogramme their brains. As you continue to reprogramme your brain the chemical levels will stabilise, much like the effect anti-depressants have.

 

I personally think anti-depressants should be used when doing CBT though as they offer the much needed short term relief to allow the patient to complete the therapy which will help long term!
