Lots of research has been done. An incredible amount.

I am completely NOT against anti-anxiety drugs or depression drugs. I think they can be extremely beneficial to those in need. But I also think other methods should be tried first, and as a society, we're far too dependent on prescription drugs. I've seen RX drugs personally ruin lives but I've also seen them better lives. I think exercise, for example, releases endorphins better than any drug could. I feel 1000% better when I work out then when I don't. I get depressed too when I spend a lot of time inside or without much social interaction.
Nope, natural is NOT always better. Completely agree with that. Doing minimal vaccines is not some holistic mumbo jumbo. I think both (holisitic and modern medicine) have their place. I chose modern medicine for most. But I think if certain ailments can be cured naturally, do it. |
When there is an actual chemical imbalance the endorphins you get from exercise are not enough if you can even get out of bed. I think the word depression is probably thrown around way to much and those that just feel icky or sad for a day or two are like oh I'm depressed I need medicine when there are those of us out there suffering from the chemical imbalance trying to find the one or combo of meds and hardly able to get out of bed or unable to go to the store for a loaf of breed because of anxiety. Yes our society might jump on prescription meds to fast but there are many prescription meds that are very nessisary and the alternative could be death or using a vitamin could be even be more dangerous because there not FDA regulated and some really have crazy scary side effects. I think no one can really understand how nessisary prescription meds are until they have to have them. No a pill does not fix everything and therapy is required but the right meds are a very important part. I think sometimes this hotlistic stuff goes great for some but when you have a very sick dog I think that can change pretty fast.
