Chemical Imbalance of Brain - NONSENSE - PROVEN

A recent paper was released from the Journal Nature which is a high impact publication.

Which means it is a highly reliable source of published papers.

The paper shows that serotonin imbalances do not exist and SSRI's need to be questioned. Not to mention that other studies show that SSRI medications are 70% a placebo affect. The doctors passing out pills like candy need to be questioned, particularly their motives.

How can they keep giving people pills when the evidence is so weak?

How much of is profit driven? My fear is that profit is the major driver.

Final discussion in the paper:

Our comprehensive review of the major strands of research on serotonin shows there is no convincing evidence that depression is associated with, or caused by, lower serotonin concentrations or activity. Most studies found no evidence of reduced serotonin activity in people with depression compared to people without, and methods to reduce serotonin availability using tryptophan depletion do not consistently lower mood in volunteers. High quality, well-powered genetic studies effectively exclude an association between genotypes related to the serotonin system and depression, including a proposed interaction with stress. Weak evidence from some studies of serotonin 5-HT1A receptors and levels of SERT points towards a possible association between increased serotonin activity and depression. However, these results are likely to be influenced by prior use of antidepressants and its effects on the serotonin system [30, 31]. The effects of tryptophan depletion in some cross-over studies involving people with depression may also be mediated by antidepressants, although these are not consistently found

What can we learn from this?

We need to question EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. We can no longer blindly just do what they say because their motives are now highly questionable and in my opinion always have been.
