I'm so fucking tired of people reducing depression to "your brain chemicals are broken, take these pills". Yeah, serotonin exists, obviously depression manifests neurologically, but WHY are so many people's brains broken in exactly the same way at exactly the same time? You think it's just coincidence that depression rates have exploded under free-market capitalism?We live in a system that tells us we can be anything if we just work hard enough, that our worth is measured by our productivity and success, and then when we inevitably crack under the pressure of this impossible standard, we're told it's OUR fault, our defective brains, our personal failing. The achievement society has turned us all into entrepreneurs of ourselves, grinding away with this feeling of "freedom" that's really just self-exploitation. You're simultaneously the boss cracking the whip and the worker getting beaten, and when you finally collapse from exhaustion, when you literally cannot achieve anymore, the only person to blame is yourself. That's the auto-aggression that creates depression. It's not a chemical imbalance that fell from the sky, it's the psychological injury of waging war against yourself in a system designed to extract maximum performance until you burn out. Pharma companies make billions convincing us this is a medical problem requiring medical solutions, deliberately obscuring the social and economic roots because acknowledging those would require actually changing the system instead of just medicating its casualties.

>>522738709reminder that a lot of people on /pol/ have taken or currently take anti depressants. that is why there is a bunch of retarded NPCs posting on here

>>522738709Karl Marx once said religion is the opiate of the masses. It turns out pharmaceuticals prescribed by doctors are. The ease and eager participation of doctors to prescribe SSRIs to people is astonishing. I was on zoloft and klonopin for a year before realizing I was just being stupified to accept a garbage world. I've been off this shit for years now and will always choose the highs and lows of reality and mood than feeling a constant white noise numbness to everything.
Depression is a natural reaction to unnatural lifestyles, lack of fulfillment, lack of prospects for the future, and a symptom of a diseased society. I don't have it saved but there's that image of the guy saying society looks a bit fucked and the doctor saying would you like a pill for that. That's it in a nutshell. Animals become depressed when you cage them or force them to live in bad conditions. It's the same with people. The whole system is set up to enslave the vast majority of the population for the benefit of a few at the top and it's done in such a way that most people have no idea it's happening at all, they don't even accept their fate like a medieval serf or a roman slave, they just work and work and wonder why things never get better. In fact many of them become angry when the other slaves start to rebel.
>>522738939You don't even know what a slide thread is you stupid fuck. You're just repeating shit you've heard without knowing the meaning of it.
>>522739326You best start believing in slide threads anonYOU'RE IN ONE
Psychiatric drugs causes me to behave abnormally. I did things that I never would have done without the meds. Now that i'm off the meds for good, things are back to normal, but the damage has been done and nothing can take it back. This makes me feel hopeless. Psychiatry is a satanic abomination.
>>522739803you were always hopeless. i knew it was a jewish scam even when i was 15 years old and they giving them to me
yeah jewish pills arent going to fix the fact that Im a 34 year old forever alone forever broke forever ugly failure at life. Ill just do real drugs that actually help (amphetamines and weed) until I finally pull the trigger, probably right after my dad dies.
>>522739627Go post this in one of the gaykraine generals or the million jeet cope thread. I see faggots like you posting >1pbtid as the second post in the thread sometimes. If you hate it so much maybe you should try posting something worthwhile instead of boring, stale complaining about how every thread is a slide thread. Real ones are just pictures of some busty wench and a line like "well /pol/?" Not a few paragraphs starting a discussion about overprescription of ssris and the mental enslavement of normies
>>522738709It's all a big lie. Depression is not a mental illness. There's no chemical imbalance. The brain isn't broken. In fact there's nothing wrong with the brain at all. It's working exactly as it's supposed to. Just like the brain is supposed to make you feel happy when your life is fantastic, it's also supposed to make you feel depressed when your life is shit. That's it. It's just one of the many ways your brain sends you status information.
>>522739883I wasn't alwaya hopeless, even at my lowest points i retained the gift of prophecy. In 2017 i told my psychiatrist that Trump would nearly be shot in the head during a campaign rally, but that Trump would turn his head at the right moment so that the bullet merely grazes the tip of his ear. Also told my psychiatrist in 2017 that Biden would steal the 2020 election but Trump would return in 2024. It's just not possible to maoe those predictions unless I have the holy spirit. Still, psychiatric meds caused me to behave abominably, and i feel awful about it even now.
>>522739803Psychiatry is an institutionalized, codified measure of control. It declares what is "right" and "wrong" based on flimsy theories and even more dangerous and experimental medical/chemical intervention. Therapy should have been the natural solution but they push the same solution as doctors and psychiatrists do. It's a quick lazy cheap patch job on a human's mind and has the same shitty effect as a temporary patch on a tire. The blowout is going to come and in many ways you are making it more dangerous and worse than just by addressing the tire as the problem, not the hole. Then you're cruising at 70 on your mind's highway and have a blowout and get into a far worse accident than if you addressed the larger issue in the first place.
>>522738709SSRI don't actually work and the side effects are severe enough to cause retarded and create serial killers.>inhibits frontal lobe and temporal lobe brain activity, essentially chemical lobotomy, causing brain fog, delayed thinking capacity>Loss of perception of reality, due to lack of brain activity involving reasoning, abstract thought, goal oriented behaviour, all the important things you need daily.>Lack of connection emotionally to reality, people, earth Kids who grow up on this have no real concept and perception of reality, they are on a blank slate for jews to groom them into retards and when they are off the SSRI they have a panic attack because the real thoughts, emotions and sensations come back and they can't handle it.
>>522738709Depression literally has a known cure it's called a goth gf that lets you suck on her titties with your head in her lap.
>>522740308why didn't your gift of prophecy tell you not to take the pills that would take that gift away?
>>522740600When I was coming off the meds i dreamed that there was a grey alien standing over me inside my bedroom. In my dream the grey alien moved a piece of my bedroom furniture and when I woke up that same furniture was moved in real life. I promise you that im not making that up.
>>522740721I don't know. All i can say is that no one is perfect. I also told my psychiatrist that Trump should make a hat that says Trump Was Right About Everything. And I also told my psychiatrst that Trump will eventually be asked about Q, and Trump will respond to the question by saying "is that supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing?" Both the hat and the question eventually came true.
>>522738709Depression correlates perfectly with niggerfication of society. Has nothing to do with 'capitalism'... has to do with jews destroying our national identity, our country, and our race
>>522738709Chemical imbalance is a marketing term that gained widespread popularity due to aggressive direct-to-consumer advertising. It has grown into something almost like a foundational civic mythology.
>>522740944pray to get that gift back then
>>522740987>capitalismAmerica has been a (mostly) communist country for more than 100+ years. Americans practice nine of the ten planks nearly in their entirety.
>>522740027Where is OP's second post?
>>522741129exactly right. Op looking at society an seeing 'there is nothing here besides getting a job'but that's only because kikes have destroyed the spiritual element that used to be here. Our national identity, our national spirit, the real reason for being for a country. This is not the result of too much financial freedom, but the result of intentional attacks by our enemies on our very souls, so that our country will destroy itself since they cannot defeat us militarily
>>522741272OP went out for milk and cigarettes and he'll be back soon. Regardless, it's retarded to make that claim within the first 5 posts, less than 5 minutes after the OP
i prefer alcohol
>>522738709>obviously depression manifests neurologically,thats where you're wrong. it doesnt. never has. the "chemical imbalance" is quack dock bullshit. just like adhd. its completely made up to get you on drugs. they have never proven this "chemical imbalance" even tho you can indeed measure these things. stop being a retard.
>>522738709They are not a solution for everyone and they don't all work in the same way. The theory that serotonin causes it is disproven anyways, but they don't know why ssri's work. I was on snri and can say it helped a lot. Sometimes you do have too messed up brain chemistry that you don't know where to start. And it's good to have the illusion of happy pill at first.But this should only be a temporary solution done in tandem with changing your habits or therapy and actually working your shit out. But you still have to put in the effort. Otherwise you stay in the pills or go back to your same shit.What the big issue it's the addictiveness, getting off them is stupid annoying
>>522741734in my view depression is adaptive, and is a result of life experiences triggering your brain into realizing 'it's safer to do nothing', for whatever reason. It's not an illness, not an imbalance, but a proper evaluation of your local environment.
>>522738709>>>>>but WHY are so many people's brains broken in exactly the same way at exactly the same time? You think it's just coincidence that depression rates have exploded under free-market capitalism?yea, don't you think its odd so many Gamer's are trooned out faggots? Explain that one?Obviously chemical imbalances are in play. lack of serotonin is one, hormone imbalances are another. There are a whole host of chemical imbalances going on causing lots of problems. Its pollution, its pesticides, its corrupted cheap food a whole host of things causing people to take some kind of drug or some kind of pill some kind of supplement to feel normal.
Depression is caused by a lack of dopamine, not serotonin. Lack of dopamine comes from dopamine receptor abuse, either from drugs, vice, or other exploitation of dopamine which leads to dopamine receptor downregulation.

>>522741906yeah that is true I agree, it's bad copes that keep you in a shitty situation. It's simple it's just because you're not living life the way you want to. There is a loop in which shitty life makes your brain physically change to living shitty, causing more shitty thoughs, and happy pills allows to break that loop
>>522740987>>522741129>>522741349i too am an organic unpaid user who will also agree with this sentiment!

>>522738709You're not a doctor or scientist or neurological expert. I told a girl to get off her meds when I was a dumb brash kid and she killed herself within a couple weeks. I hold myself responsible, her family holds me responsible. She was doing fine on her meds with only minor complaints. She came off them and fucking killed herself. Don't compel people to do this.
They don't even know how it works. It's a pseudo science.
>>522742500Cheers, anon.(Happy Tuesday!)
>>522738709depression is a thought disorder.
Mineral. Get your mineral levels thoroughly tested. Why is lithium so effective. Because it's a what? Oh yes.
>>522738709Could also be a result of the shitty processed food diet and lack of activity not providing the right nutrients and stressors for healthy neurochemical production and homeostasis
>>522744475can you answer what lithium does in the brain?
>>522740027When you understand what slide threads look like you don't need to wait, you already know it will be a 1pbtid thread. Case in point, I was right. Thank you for your attention to this matter
>>522744776What does copper do in the brain?
>We live in a system that tells us we can be anything if we just work hard enough, that our worth is measured by our productivity and success, and then when we inevitably crack under the pressure of this impossible standardAnd such is that system they designed on purpose. We should go back to nature, clinically proven that if you touch grass it has health benefits.
>>522745604i don't know. whenever people make diet suggestions, i want to see if they understand what they are talking about
>>522738709sounds like you need one of these, not more pills
