| An article was published in today's New York Times titled: Popular Drugs May Help Only Severe Depression. The writer, Benedict Carey, points to new research suggesting that SSRI medications are no more effective than placebos in the treatment of mild to moderate depression. This new research is no doubt a blow to the pharmaceutical companies. This research will no doubt make waves in the mental health community. Who wouldn't want a magic pill to take away their depression? If you aren't suicidal, I vote for exercise and psychotherapy. Medication may take away some of the depression, but wouldn't you rather understand why you are feeling this way so that you can take appropriate steps to feel better? Allopathic medicine is so concerned with rooting out pathology, that I think it loses sight of the messages that our emotions are trying to send to us. Don't be so quick to run away from emotional vulnerability. Sometimes going into emotional pain is the way to finding freedom from it. |
