Depressed? Self-Help Kits Work Wonders While Antidepressants Do More Bad Than Good

Do you find yourself feeling too sad much the time? Maybe you're
clinically depressed. If so, what kind of help should you seek?Your
first reaction is probably to run to the doctor. And his first
response will likely be to prescribe antidepressants. After all, US
doctors wrote 189 million prescriptions for antidepressants in just
one year.But here's the really depressing news: Antidepressants don't
work and they can have terrible side-effects. The side-effects are
impossible to deny because drug companies must list them on the
packaging to protect you and any other consumers who may take
them.Some patients do benefit from them. However, drug makers still
try to dupe us into thinking that they actually work for everyone. In
fact, a new study - published in the New England Journal of Medicine -
shows that drug makers only publish their studies that demonstrate
drug benefits but don't publish the ones which don't show benefits.As
a practicing psychotherapist, this is frightening to me because
depression is among America's most common health problems and some
even suggest that it may soon be the second leading cause of
disability in this country. After all, if drug makers only publish
their positive results, consumers' view of them will be warped.This
would lead patients to think that they work for everyone when
actually, for most people, they may be no better than a placebo. This
deceptive practice has fueled the use of psychiatric drugs to the
extent that they are now the second leading class of drugs
sold.Antidepressants Are Huge Money-Makers for Pharmaceutical
HousesDepression means big profits for shareholders. After all, women
have up to a 25 percent risk of suffering severe depression and men
have up to a 12 percent risk.Antidepressant medications gush money for
pharmaceutical manufacturers and their shareholders. The use of these
drugs has tripled in the last 10 years and spending on them soared by
130 percent in one year alone. By 2008, the Americans were spending no
less than $12 billion on them each year.The study in the New England
Journal of Medicine cited above shows that these drugs are often no
more effective than a placebo. In fact, because of the potential for
terrible side effects, they can be very harmful.Because
antidepressants may be popular doesn't mean they're helpful.
Unfortunately, as we now see from the research, they often don't work
and have the potential for deleterious side effects which makes the
patient's quality of life even worse.Studies show that antidepressant
medications may:...Trigger a potentially life-threatening irregular
heartbeat....Cause abnormal retention of a patient's urine....Cause
the patient's mouth to go dry....Be disabling....Increase a patient's
suicide risk....Result in a numbing of the patient's emotions.In fact,
eighty-six percent of patients taking antidepressants report having
one or more side effects. These include sexual dysfunction, fatigue,
insomnia, loss of mental abilities, nausea, and weight gain.The
