The drug companies who produce the drugs in the class known as “antidepressants” is providing thousands of new pharmaceutical drugs designed to manage depression. Later uses of these drugs (off label as it is called) began to include anxiety, headaches, trouble sleeping, arthritis, and many hundreds more.
The FDA tells us that drugs cannot cure anything. So doctors are sold on prescribing a drug which can’t cure depression, but only manage it. The FDA is also clear in stating that no one knows how exactly antidepressant drugs work.
Holistic Methods of Eradicating Depression
There are holistic (meaning here drug free) methods of actually treating depression, but unfortunately these are not promoted nearly as widely as are pharmaceutical drugs. Since they are not promoted widely, a patient has to seek them out usually through holistic doctors, clinicians and personal research.
NOTE: Part 2 of this article will outline some of the most reported as successful holistic methods of eradicating depression.
Some Common Antidepressant Drugs:
• Paxil
• Prozak
• Zoloft
• Elavil
There are literally thousands of these drugs, and as the FDA reports, it is not actually known how any of them work.
Studies out of the Mayo Clinic Show Alarming Trend
The Mayo Clinic, a quite well respected medical center, has actually recommended the use of antidepressants for other conditions as well, even though no one knows exactly how they work. Some of the most alarming ones are:
• Headache pain reliever
• Relief from arthritis
• Relief from back pain
And so on.
What really makes this an alarming trend, is that antidepressant drugs are responsible for a large percentage of suicides and attempted suicides and other extremely horrific side effects.
Some Side Effects of Antidepressants:
• Here is a partial list of the known and reported side effects of the type of drug known as the Tricyclic antidepressants: (Elavil, Asendin, etc)
