Why has Cipralex and other antidepressants medicines become commonplace?!

in #antidepressants7 years ago (edited)

If you are too tired to read it all, there is a conclusion at the end of the post :) special for lazy bloggers :P

A lot of pressure ah?

North Korea wants to bomb the whole world.

get up in the morning.

A phone from the Boss/actually any phone call except if it's the lottery.

The news that runs through my eyes on the television at the speed of light.

Oprah Winfrey(kidding) ;)

The nephew shouts.

My sister cries that her son is shouting.

You have to finish a degree.

you have to find a job.

You have to go through a certain threshold of income.

Everyone knows everything about everyone else

The smartphone! WhatsApp.

Terrorism.

Traffic, traffic jam

I can go on all day believe me( I assume you are).
Who did not think, "F**k it, I'm going east to the monastery"

As we progress technologically, evolution remains behind, feeling as though we are not physically built for all this progress yet

Recently we have seen researchers that on the one hand are worrisome, but on the other hand, they are not surprising at all!

The consumption of Antidepressants in Israel (especially in central cities) increased by 13 percent between 2013 and 2016

Israel - one of the countries surrounded by enemies, if not the country surrounded by the most enemies.

While I was in the army, I used a tranquilizer(Clonex). But you know?
I see that everyone use some tranquilizer, whether it's a conventional medicine, whether it's grass or marijuana or a cigar or anything else that the user thinks calms him down

The prevailing view of people who take medications such as these psychiatric ones are:

"It's crazy, unable to cope, born defective."

The truth is that the studies show that the opposite is true, these people are the strongest psychologically and they have reached a situation where they have coped too much with life.
So they need crutches - crutches that are anti-anxiety drugs \ depression.

The same is true for heavy smokers - they are always considered weak.
The truth is the opposite, since their body and mind can tolerate so many doses of poison that actually shows physical strength and mental strength.

In conclusion:

My opinion is that the reason why antidepressants such as "cipralex" have become so common is ## that:

People understand that they are taking things that are not approved by the Health Ministry in order to calm down, cigarettes, soft and hard drugs.

So if you're already taking something that calms you, and you're a psycho anyway, why not use something conventional with a doctor's escort?

I would love to know what you think dear people!

Thing is - regarding "soft drugs" like marijuana, the law is what making people feel guilty! Generally - marijuana is not considered more harmful than alcohol, yet alcohol is totally legal and marijuana is not. Not only does it make people buy it from unreliable people on the street without regulation on the contents and quality of the material - it also makes what they do a crime, and instead of being a relaxing and potentially health improving thing - they have to worry about the police and about scammers putting foul and dangerous materials in the weed. I think that legalizing will solve this aspect of the problem, but of course it will not solve the problem from the root of it.
The solution might be in a big change of attitude in the whole society, things need to be considered less seriously - you failed a test? So what! It's ok, try again and be cool. The whatsapp annoys you? Turn the internet off for a few hours - and so on.

This is the thing i like the most about a religious Shabbat - you dont even feel the need of cellphones, computers and so on - you are calm and relaxed, this is my thing for calmness :)

לגמרי מסכים,
במיוחד עם הקטע ההזוי שאלכוהול חוקי והסם מריחואנה לא :(
והאמת שתקופה לא שמרתי שבת ממש וזה ממש היה חסר לי
אנשים לא יודעים מה הם מפסידים וזה חבל.

You are very much right, I am a weed smoker and have been most of my life. I know it's just a crux like anti depressants but it's a good one if you get the right stuff and it's not illegal which unfortunately isn't the case in the UK, so I have to by from street dealers and you don't really know what your getting. I've now actually slowed down my weed smoking because I got into the situation that I thought it was the only way to not feel anxiety which I now don't believe is true. I now smoke ever couple of weeks and leave it the rest of the time.

It is sad reality @amiramnoam. People who become addicted tend to never come out of it.

אני מבין מה אתה אומר. אני אישית לוקח סרטרלין שזה תרופה נגד דיכאון ועוזרת גם לחרדה. שהגיע מזה שהייתי בבית שנה וחצי מבלי לעשות כלום וזה פיתח לי דיכאון
יש כל מיני בעיות בעולם הזה שגורמות לאנשים לפתח דיכאון וכל מה שרשמת אלו הדברים היותר נפוצים. אבל יש גם מקרים כמו שלי :)
אני האמת עכשיו בתהליך הורדת מינון אז מקווה שעוד חודשיים אני אגמל מזה :)
נושא חשוב מאוד לדבר עליו! תודה

באמת נושא חשוב , אנשים לא מודעים כמה אנשים סביבם משתמשים :)
תודה אחי!

Depression and stress is like so common these days. Even a 10 year child gets stressed. Everyone wants to be in the race not realizing the heavy prices they pay. Even a normal argument stresses out people. When I do counselling with people and dig them down deep they realise in reality there is no problem at all. Its just that the tolerance levels and patience has gone down drastically. Humans want to function as machines with instant results.
The pharmaceutical companies are minting good money. They never let you get out of their grip. We have to decide by ourself what type of life we want, a crippled one or with freedom

you right, I consider the issue that they make all the stress for sell Medicines hehe
those pharmaceutical companies.

Because what's called social media makes people alone.You have 1K-5K-10K followers, but you are eating at home alone.Such people are getting into isolation and going into depression.I think this is the main reason.@amiramnoam

@amiramnoam - Now I know why I feel like taking some sleep medicine these days. LOL. I am stressed out with some issues like my father's health, some tight deadlines and of course, some global issues like terrorism which affect all the regions where I travel. Surprisingly, as you have pointed out in your post, I always have thought I am very strong mentally and do not need support but I guess at some point we all feel overwhelmed.
Thanks. Very enlightening post. upvoted full

Well I have been suffering with Kidney Issue since 2015 and i have taken infinite amount of Pills since then. Poor Immune system and Blood Pressure are the biggest issues of Health in the Modern era. You mentioned above the Reasons behind Stressful life i am 100 Agreed upon this.

Quacks are always there to give you confidence to take wrong pills which causes the harm. It is the basic need of the society to make them educate and aware of their side effects.

Morning walk and consumption of Fresh Vegetables are the best remedy to this problem.

also Remember Life is too shot don't waste it to get Heat upon tiny things.

Thanks a lot for addressing this most important issue of our lives @amiramnoam

Worth reading Blog with amazing write up <3

Stay Blessed, Steem On!

My friend ease out for sone time, get onto a organic super foods diet, some yoga and meditation and all your problems will be gone.

Hey@nainaztengra Thank so very much for giving me the tips to face this fatal disease. I will it to get back to life My Friend :) Thanks for your kind words

You are welcome. Kidney issue you should have lots and lots of water. Minimum 4 litres to be consumed all before 6pm.
First thing in morning have a glass of warm water with apple cider vinegar organic one.
During the day have one glass of water with soaked chia seeds, and mix wheat grass and spirinula powder to it.
Give me your feedback after 1 month :)

It's a bit more complicated than that, as I explained to you over chat. Pills are the "easy" way for doctors to treat mental disorders that are a result of our lives. Post trauma, personality disorders and other acquired mental illness are more prevalent today than ever, and we don't quite know what to do with it yet, and it goes far beyond the sigma.

Pills are easy. They're simple. Supposedly, you pop a pill and the mental toll should no longer affect you physically. Except that's not a very effective solution. Without therapy (good therapy, the rare kind) you simply cannot rewrite the flawed processes in your brain that cause and perpetuate the mental illness impairing your function.

The best and only way to live and deal with mental disorders, in my experience with someone living with cPTSD and GAD is a very well balanced combo of medication and guidance from a professional. I am not ashamed to admit I have no idea how to live, and need guidance in choosing my path through all the overwhelming anxiety that is life.

through all the overwhelming anxiety that is life.

So true. and I totally agree with you. I personally went to a psychologist twice a week and after a while started taking pills. I can say that the pills help more than the therapy. but when you have these two together, it's more helpful.
Why life has so many scary shit?..

It's widely spread,but honestly pills causes a lot of harm on our immune system,i rather get sick till i can't move than take pills,thx anyway for the info i aprreciate it

I can understand if you are addicted .
but would you prefer that there will be no pills?
סטים חתימת פוסט.png

I m not addicted,i think pills are to be taken when necessary,per exmple pain killers for a random headache that's a bit not necessary and it has it's side effects,maybe some old school mediation and medicines can help replace the pills
