Recovering Emotions After 24 Years on Antidepressants
This article is absolute bullshit and quite frankly dangerous. It seems to me this woman was emotionally vulnerable and taken in by a snake oil huckster masquerading as a doctor.<p>> Shortly after I started seeing him, my new doctor had me read the book Anatomy of an Epidemic by Robert Whitaker.<p>Robert Whitaker's theses in that book have repeatedly been scientifically disproven. It's anti-science drivel.<p>>  The pharmaceutical industry also says that mental illness represents a physical problem with the brain that needs to be fixed. There are no studies that prove that this is true.<p>This statement is untrue. Literally three seconds of googling showed me this: <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4471964/" rel="nofollow">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4471964/</a><p>Which basically says that when we deplete the body of certain neurotransmitters, people get depressed. That sounds like a pretty clear statement that there are biological processes at play in mental illness.
