At their best, SSRIs have therapeutic effects by numbing emotions. I

imagine that people at lower incomes, with high stress levels are

already numb.

This may be true to some extent, but a lot of

depression is " situational depression " . If I can't pay

my bills, buy the things I need, fix my car when it

breaks down etc, etc., then I think a million dollars

would do a lot more for me than an anti-depressent

drug. I have to wonder what, if anything, a drug would

do for anyone who is in a situation causing the

depression. Change the situation and the drug would

not be needed. It appears to me that a drug would help

create a false reality or delusion, that everything is

ok, when it is not.

Money is not always the answer to " situational

depression " , so a good answer to " situational

depression " is a good friend and/or a good

psychologist.

" Money is not always the answer to " situational

depression " , so a good answer to " situational

depression " is a good friend and/or a good

psychologist. "

I think hit the nail on the head here. Let's see the stats for how

many upper-income people receive a combination of talk-therapy with their

chemicals. I'll bet the numbers are staggering. Not like lower-income people

who are handed sacks of samples and sent out the door to deal with it all

themselves - after being crammed into an overfilled appointment book and getting

very little face-time with the shrink to begin with.

Living through, and with emotion is the answer, not flat lining the

response to grief.

Most are grabbed , when becoming aware of the real world around them.

They respond in kind to an insane world.

We are double spoken since birth, then seeing the constant war , violence,

bloodshed, then the beginning of the end of the final first last insult.

Psychiatry?????.

If a persons world is trash, and they are treated as such, why not become

someone else.

More insult is, to stop hallucination,with terror.

Where to withdraw, we all know where, the safety of the mind.

But look at who is drawing us back in torment.

Why? To be what????

What If I like hallucination? What If I like being someone else? What if I

want to just

say no ?

I hear it said by the same persons.

" That's not normal "

How do we deal with them?

Shut them out, cause they are abusive.

When shutting them out , what happens?

We are psyched again !!!!

What do we use today , to end this mess ? The knowing.

Will it be a device, nature, gravity,

How many on psych meds with this single thought,

god only knows .

Killing the body, the spirit , the mind, our social understanding, our

survival

instinct . Nature. Sex.

We do what nature does , beach ourselves like whales who know

its not worth going on .

I wonder if these beached whales , got into some of the same chems we did ,

and do.

Anyone with any care to themselves, or just pride would reject such

utter nonsense of normalcy, gaaaaaa yuch

Normal is a propaganda word ..........

Newspaper, to hide the shame away from me please,,,, please............

crude

A drone, constant as a hive of hornets.

Away but very close !!!!

Ticking like a bomb...........

God damit its normalcy.

Get the hell away, you mess of __________.

Fill in the blank for yourselves.

Damn psychiatry and its supporters, you are such an ugly

bunch of _______.

Emotions for the day..........

anger...........

Better to be mad than sad .

I think hit the nail on the head here. Let's see the stats for how

many upper-income people receive a combination of talk-therapy with their

chemicals. I'll bet the numbers are staggering. Not like lower-income people

who are handed sacks of samples and sent out the door to deal with it all

themselves - after being crammed into an overfilled appointment book and getting

very little face-time with the shrink to begin with.

Poverty and mental illness can certainly feed eachother making a

vicious cycle. ie. You can't earn more until you're healthier and you

can't get healthier without money.
