satou didn't take her meds and she got a cute gay gf. she also died though, so its a mixed bag.

These things are addictive as hell just smoke weed.

I don't want to smell like a skunk just farted on me though.

don't take psych meds it's just the doctor's way of being lazy and getting out of actually helping you

Benzos have the worst withdrawals of any drug on earth. Far worse than opiates/heroin.

The withdrawals last several months and are neurologically horrifying. Uncontrollable shaking, extreme severe anxiety to the point of terror, potential death, psychosis, electrical shocks in your head, the list goes on…

And this will last several months, some people have lingering withdrawal symptoms for years, and many people claim they have permanent damage.

So why do doctors prescribe these for long term use still? Why is there 17,000 malpractice cases filed every year in the US and in reality millions of malpractice cases big and small every year? Stop trusting doctors, especially dumbass ones that went to college decades ago and don't even know anything about benzo withdrawals.

And you can get physically addicted to benzos far easier than you think, even taking them on what you believe to be an infrequent basis.

Literally you're better off drinking.

Did your parents and family teach you to seek the light of Christ and God for healing? Probably explains a lot.

I fell for the psychiatry meme until I realized I wasn't the problem but rather a completely broken world was the real underlying issue.

Those pills are just to fry your brain in the hopes it'll dull you down enough to become a NPC.

WEEEEEEEEEE WOOOO WEEE WOOOO
SCHIZO ALERT SCHIZO ALERT
WEEEEEEEEEE WOOO WEE WOOOOOO

Then smoke outside

The trick to psych pills is to stop taking them after a while… The doctor wants you to live with them for the rest of your life but that'll only make you miserable. Don't take them long enough that it makes you feel the withdrawal, just enough so that it resets your brain and makes the worries go away.

The trick is to get 2-3 hours of good exercise a week to stabilize your chemistry instead of feeding the pharm monster.

>>507163
i spend like 6 hours masturbating a week and I'm always exhausted by it, why hasn't this "stabilized my chemistry"?

>>507163
Depression and anxiety are real illnesses, nothing wrong with getting a little medical help for them

Save the benzos for only extra-shitty days when you know you really need your mind to rest but you can't get it to relax.
If you don't pay attention to how much you use them yow will get addicted and suffer the consequences.

Also, If your doc offers you antipsychotics refuse, Don't take them at all costs. Trust me it's not worth it.
These doctors are not your friends, Don't trust a single thing they say.

>>507177
people with schizophrenia and manic depression already have enough trouble trusting their doctors why would you post something like this thats exclusively meant to hurt people like us

>>507150

Whatever you say, Doc.

Conclusion

Exercise is a viable non-pharmaceutical treatment for depression. The benefits of exercise may also persist beyond the end of treatment, unlike antidepressant medication (4, 90). It is critical for future studies to test whether the brain regions identified in this review may be neurobiological markers of depression that may serve as targets for exercise-based treatments for depression.

Summary and Bottom Line

In summary, exercise appears to be an effective treatment for depression, improving depressive symptoms to a comparable extent as pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. Observational studies suggest that active people are less likely to be depressed, and interventional studies suggest that exercise is beneficial in reducing depression. It appears that even modest levels of exercise are associated with improvements in depression, and while most studies to date have focused on aerobic exercise, several studies also have found evidence that resistance training also may be effective. While the optimal “dose” of exercise is unknown, clearly any exercise is better than no exercise. Getting patients to initiate exercise —and sustain it – is critical.

SUMMARY

The mechanisms underlying the antidepressant effects of exercise remain in debate; however, the efficacy of exercise in decreasing symptoms of depression has been well established. Data regarding the positive mood effects of exercise involvement, independent of fitness gains, suggest that the focus should be on frequency of exercise rather than duration or intensity until the behavior has been well established. The addition of self-monitoring techniques may increase awareness of the proximal benefits of exercise involvement, which is generally reinforcing to the patient.

Physician advice is likely to go a long way toward providing motivation and support for exercise. Follow-up contact may also be important during exercise adoption. While this follow-up may present a time challenge to the provider, less time-consuming interactions such as brief telephone contact and automated telephone contact have been shown to increase adherence to exercise programs.77–80 Finally, it is interesting to note that while depression may be an additional risk factor for exercise noncompliance, reported drop-out rates among depressed patients are not too different from those in the general population.13,21–23,26

Overall, the evidence suggests that exercise can improve depressive symptoms and this is observed even in those suffering from major depressive disorder (Pilu et al., 2007) who have been shown to benefit more from physical exercise than other psychiatric groups (Tordeurs et al., 2011). Exercise, additionally, may exert a positive influence on QoL, although these benefits are subjective in nature and measurement can be difficult due to methodological concerns. In practice, clinicians may be somewhat hesitant to recommend lifestyle changes to depressed patients since they may lack the motivation to exercise. This may be hampered further by public media coverage of negative trial findings which can amplify the difficulties in persuading patients with depression to take exercise (Trueland, 2012). However, the magnitude of the known health benefits of exercise for all mean that researchers have proposed this as a “first-line therapy” in all patients (Nahas and Sheikh, 2011) where prescription should be tailored to patients' current level of activity, preferred type and intensity of activity.

Abstract

This article reviews the studies on the effects of physical activity on the emotional states–anxiety, depression and mood. The meta-analyses of correlational and experimental studies reveal positive effects of exercise, in healthy people and in clinical populations (also in patients with emotional disorders) regardless of gender and age. The benefits are significant especially in subjects with an elevated level of anxiety and depression because of more room for possible change. The most improvements are caused by rhythmic, aerobic exercises, using of large muscle groups (jogging, swimming, cycling, walking), of moderate and low intensity. They should be conducted for 15 to 30 minutes and performed a minimum of three times a week in programs of 10-weeks or longer. The results confirm the acute effect of exercise i.e. the reductions in anxiety and depression after single sessions of exercise. The changes in anxiety, depression and mood states after exercise are explained most frequently by the endorphin and monoamine hypotheses. Exercise may also increase body temperature, blood circulation in the brain and impact on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and physiological reactivity to stress. The possible psychological mechanisms include improvement of self-efficacy, distraction and cognitive dissonance.

Because i'm one of these people and i have first hand experience with those of course.
I'm not an authority, I'm not out to hurt anyone. Don't listen to me and make your own judgement if you want to, I'm just offering an opinion based on my personal experience and i genuinely believe psychiatry to be untrustworthy.

>>507188
antipsychotics really help some people, but yes some doctors overprescribe. find a psychiatrist you can trust, don't just trust them because of their degree. most doctors are petite bourgeoisie reactionary conservatives after all.

Rule 1: Never get a foid psychologist/psychiatrist

>>507177
Fuck off moron the seroquel I was perscribed was the best thing to ever happen to me.

>>507154
You were right of course. 24 hours after taking ONE pill and one pill alone all I can think about is suicide and crying uncontrollably. I'm going to fucking kill the croaker who prescribed this crap to me for belly-pains.

How does everyone have a doctor? How can I get my own doctor?

>>507584
be from any first world country not called america

>>507584
get those 'tismbux

what do you have to live for though ?

>>507595
I think the bigger concern with things that can kill you is that if they hurt you and don't your life turns out even worse

>>507583
Successfully detoxed off of the benzos and feelin' good. Think I might blackmail my doctor for pushing pills on little ole me… that license probably cost him a dime, would suck to lose it…
