The Disturbing Truths about SSRi’s Antidepressants

Further, consider the serious side-effects of causing violence, suicidal thoughts or tendencies. -Remember, this has to be considered in relation to the well-documented evidence that many shooters were known to be on antidepressants such as SSRi’s during their shooting…

However, it has been said that the greatest issue/concern is that nobody is really talking about SSRi’s and their obvious inherent dangers.

These widely-used ubiquitous drugs have been given the thumbs-up by many, including celebrities giving the impression that they are somewhat benign.

Look at the influence direct-to-consumer pill-mill Big Pharma TV advertising has had on SSRi’s. Having seen the ads., consider the many requests consumers have then made on their doctors to prescribe the advertised SSRi’s such as Lexapro. Consider the ease by which doctors write out prescriptions for such drugs on patients’ requests…

However, beneath the shiny facade, the above-mentioned side-effects confirmed by peer-reviewed research data, indicates just how disconnected the general public are from the disturbing truths about SSRi’s.

The unproven chemical imbalance theory

Doctors have been trained to deal with mental health conditions by giving each patient 20-minute consultations. After diagnosing their symptoms, they then write out a prescription for a drug that deals with the related so-called chemical imbalance.

However, not only is this treatment model oversimplified, the biochemical imbalance theory is unproven. -No proof of low serotonin levels in patients’ brains. -At its best the low serotonin levels can only be blindly assumed. At its worst, the claim is a straight-up lie. 

It should be intuitively understood that the causes of anxiety and depression are multi-faceted. -What about the considerations to nutrition, exercise, environment, socializing, emotional handling…?

Further, as there is no chemical imbalance, these drugs only work by numbing emotions, keeping patients dumb, weak and docile (a state the globalists want us all to be in), while amply feeding the Big Pharma profit model. 

“Safe and effective” claim

A number of psychiatrists have voiced their issues/concerns that SSRi’s have shown to be ineffective and counter-productive. However, many of these issues/concerns have been ignored. Many in the medical establishment, as they do with vaccines, keep chanting the unfounded mantra that SSRi’s are “safe and effective” (based on what??).

According to renowned psychiatrist Dr. Joseph Witt-Doerring his meticulous research has led him to conclude that SSRi’s are not as safe or effective as we’ve been led to believe.

He goes on to say that when conducting clinical trials, the treatment group only shows a relatively low-level of confidence (3.85%) when compared to the other half of subjects, the placebo group, over the eight-weeks only study for the drug trial.

Yet, this low-level effectiveness for the drug on trial is accepted as proof that it works. No other aspects are considered; how patients are coping, getting on in life, job situation, handling relationships and other factors indicating success or failure.

Ignoring long-tern effects

-The fact that these drug trials last only eight weeks, no long-term follow-ups… exposes the poor or even scandalous methodology.

Remember, in spite of the known side-effects, no one in big Pharma is carefully monitoring patients over the months or years. It’s tragically ironic that one of the side-effects of these anti-depressants are suicidal thoughts…

On the long-term, here are some of the most common issues/concerns:

1.No studies have been conducted on patients’ progress as they develop a drug tolerance over time. -What about emotional states? What about behavioral changes? For examples, manic behavior or irritability are known to occur.

2.Drug toxicity. Consider the effects of the brain getting drugged day in day out. As this is unnatural, how does a patient cope? Bear in mind that nocuous drug toxicity may interfere with the body’s normal physiological functioning.

3.What about coming off these antidepressant drugs in the long-term…? Remember the eighties “blockbuster drug” Prozac? -Some patients took decades to wean themselves off this addictive drug.

4.Patients are not told that their fatigue or brain-fog is related to the long-term effects of antidepressants. Instead, the doctor tells them that they have developed treatment-resistant depression, a classic case of misdiagnosis. Telling patients that their mental illness, which is unfounded, has morphed into something else. -Patients are then offered more medication to deal with this new mysterious “other illness.”

Stats

When it comes to taking antidepressants such as SSRi’s the stats are highly disturbing. For example, nearly 20% of American women are now on antidepressants. For women in the over 50’s group it’s 1 in 3.

-An example of how Americans are the targets for a muti-billion-dollar industry.

Overprescription epidemic healthcare economics

If doctors really cared, they would carefully go through the patient’s circumstances at length to find out what’s happening, why they have a mental condition and how they’re coping.

However, another reason for doctors spending only 15-20 minutes with their patients is the money saving aspect.

As a doctor’s time is money, it’s much quicker and more economical to tell the patient that they have a chemical imbalance, prescribe an FDA approved SSRi drug such as Paxil or Lexapro for their depression, and that’s basically it. -Patient processed, churned out through a system at speed like a sausage machine.

Warnings of side-effects or informed consent are not given enough attention…

For instance, what about the correlation between suicide attempts and SSRi’s for under 25-year-olds…? -Why isn’t this really getting talked about?

Here are some solutions

*In reflection, medical staff including doctors need to involve themselves more with patients to monitor their progress: Questionnaires, interviews and coping strategies with regular scheduled follow-ups to review the patient’s situation.

*Stop TV advertising

*Stop the FDA revolving door

*Medical bias has to stop by establishing independent research not tied into Big Pharma controlling self-interests. A commitment to the truth should be regarded as paramount, not regurgitated PR phony baloney effrontery like the “safe and effective” lie to conveniently maintain the status quo. –The data clearly shows the opposite. 

*Help patients come off the meds. Because patients have got so used to SSRi’s expert advice for the disciplined careful control of coming off these highly addictive meds is crucially needed.

Psychiatrists such as Dr. Joseph Witt-Doerring and Dr. Kelly Brogan have done some great work in this field.
