The Myth of depression by Robert Heard

Why do so many people get depressed or what they think is depression? The medical community uses the DSM IV to guide them through diagnosis that has absolutely no basis in terms of research evidence. We use terms like Bipolar,Manic Depression. These are simply myths and relate to ones emotional state and as far as we know there is no chemical cure. And, chemical cures do not work at all, such is the case with anti-depressants. Latest studies in the U.K. strongly indicate that anti-depressants are of no use to anyone as they do not work. They cause side effects such as suicidal thoughts, sexual dysfunction and are highly addictive.

So what is the answer to life’s down side in terms of how we may feel if something goes wrong in our life such as trauma, loss, abuse, domestic violence. Psychotherapy has prevailed as the only option to help people with so-called depression. It is a lot if work, but has shown many excellent results in a relatively short time. This is done with out medication or chemicals of any sort.

The pressures of big pharma are enormous as well as the medical profession. If you feel like you may be depressed and your Doctors gives you a prescription for anti-depressants you know this will not help you and get someone to refer you to a good therapist, something that doctors know nothing about.
