Literally the biggest story in years ignored. Take your pill goy

>"no you see it's not society that needs to change, it's your mentality"
>"here, take these mind bending drugs, that'll help"

I always knew this. When I was a teen they tried to put me on this shit. When I asked a medically trained doctor how they worked he shrugged and said he doesn't know and says they just keep putting you on different drugs until you "feel" good. How the fuck is this legal?

If you aren't depressed in this sick world then you are probably retarded desu.

The root causes of depression are very simple.
Either it's depleted dopamine, or it's dopamine receptor downregulation, both of which can be caused by too much vice activities, too much anger, an unhealthy diet, or too little exercise. Schizophrenics and manic-depressives can also become depressed in their cycles of mania/psychosis HIGHS and their depressives LOWS.

When excess dopamine impacts dopamine receptors in the brain, the neurons response is to "downregulate" in an attempt to prevent dopamine-induced psychosis, because psychosis is generally fatal if it does not abate, as it can readily lead to someone doing something that will kill them as they cannot differentiate fact from fiction. So nature has us a built-in relief system called "dopamine receptor downregulation". When this downregulation lasts too long or is exceptionally strong, it causes depression.

Depression is simply the lack of dopamine response. Lifestyle changes are the best options for treatment, but can be hard to get going due to the lack of motivation that accompanies depression also due to low dopamine response.

Based and redpilled

A natural imbalance aides developing depression and what not.
Being too fat
Too skinny
Too malnourished
Etc.
Swallowing a pill will never resolve that.

Not necessarily, but it means you can grapple with it and actually bring yourself to fight against whatever is causing it. Which is what they don't want you to do. They don't want you to cure your shitty life, they want to cure you from their plan.

its an obvious narrative shift to something new to make even more money, because the old narrative isn't working as well anymore

they're leaving us no option but complete secession and war

>it's just that narrative sells

No, its addictive pills with sideeffects that keep money in the healthindustry that sells

The theory that chemical imbalances cause mental health issues is an antiquated idea but people still parrot it as if it’s fact. In reality anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues are by and large caused by your thoughts as studies with cognitive behavioral studies have shown. We tend to repeat cognitive distortions over and over and believe it as fact. Example: “I want to be married but I never will be!” is a distortion because you are fortune telling, catastrophizing, and employing all-or-nothing thinking. A more accurate statement you could tell your self is “I want to be married, and maybe one day I will be. I can’t know what the future holds. I will be okay either way.”

In short, don’t be lazy with your thoughts. Find your distorted thoughts and correct them truthful thoughts.

Every single century, the people think they know how the world works. Every single subsequent century, the people then look back and laugh at how silly the preceding generations were to believe such tripe, and then themselves go on to believe they now know how things really work.
Bottom line is we don't know shit.

Depression is part nutritional, part spiritual. When your physical constitution is weakened, demonic indwelling spirits hit you with intrusive thoughts and negative feedback loops.
The Science cannot quantify a spiritual assault so they invented chemical imbalance even though there is no baseline.
Jerry Marzinsky was talking about this for years regarding the clinically insane, as big pharma prefers turning people into zombies rather than actually investigating patterns of phenomena which show a singular intention from a negative outside influence.

Dumbass that's a chemical imbalance

When you've both done lots of speed, AND have studied pharmacology as a hobbyist, you can get the gist of what depression actually is.
Serotonin for example has nothing to do with it, and increasing serotonin in a depressed person will do nothing to cure the depression. Extra serotonin response CAN make a person more "accepting" however and this is why SSRIs can lead to suicide, as the enhanced serotonin can make people more comfortable with death and thus killing themselves. This is also why LSD and shrooms can help people with terminal diseases become less fearful of their fate, so there are times when higher serotonin is a boon.

Using serotonin response to treat depression though, is a fucking RETARDED idea. Combat sports, exercise in general, a healthier keto-based diet, getting away from people who anger you in life, etc are far better treatments.

If a pharmaceutical is used, it should be a one-time high dose of something like ketamine, MXE(no longer available), or a related dissociative anesthetic NMDA-antagonist, as these drugs chemically pull dopamine receptors out of a downregulated state. But again, ONE-TIME recreational dose, not daily use. No daily use of drugs is healthy, EVER.
