I've been saying this since I started this blog


I've known about this for years, but it's helpful to see it verified in a meta-analysis. 

"Depression is not a chemical imbalance in the brain and scientists have no idea how antidepressants work, a review by University College London has concluded."

"The researchers say that patients should not be told depression is caused by a chemical imbalance, or informed that the SSRIs can correct the problem. Although it is clear the antidepressants can work, they must be doing so through a different route, the paper concludes."

 You can read the article here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/07/20/depression-not-caused-chemical-imbalance/ 

Can you imagine big pharma coming out and saying in a TV ad, "Yeah, take this for depression. We have no idea what it's actually doing, but please let us take advantage of your misery to make money."

Is it metamorphosis?

My cat is dying.

My mother is dying.

My job is dying.

My nonprofit project is dying.

I feel caught in a tsunami of impending loss and I'm powerless to stop any of it.
