Is this the cause of your depression?

If you go to a doctor with just about any complaint, chances are high that he will whip out his prescription pad and give you a dangerous chemical. This is especially true for depression. Doctors love to prescribe antidepressants. I’ve seen it firsthand.

Doctors in Florida dumped antidepressants (Lexapro) into my dad at age 89. This despite the warning on its black box, which specifically warned against using it in his condition. He promptly fell into a coma.

Fortunately, my dad survived the ordeal. But what really gets me is that he may have needed only more vitamin D for his alleged depression. At least that’s what a new study says.

How to treat anxiety without drugs On Wednesday, I showed you how the American Psychiatric Association has classified grief as a disease. They, obviously, want you to take their antidepressants. Well, they already consider another normal human emotion, anxiety, as a disease. Of course, the APA wants you to take drugs to calm you down. But a new study shows you don’t need drugs. There are some tested nutritional remedies that can work wonders. And another new study confirms it.

Last week, I showed you how taking low-dose aspirin every day could reduce your risk of dying. And the longer you take it, the greater the benefit. But I also showed you that the side effects can be really bad — in some cases horrible.
