Why has Cipralex and other antidepressants medicines become commonplace?!

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

@vm2904

well said my friend!

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

I'm a lazy bloggers

ok bro
i'm new join in steemit please check my profile once @amiramnoam.

you create a logical post...i hope everybody like your post...thanx for shear it

Antidepressants have the power to change your moods, and they accomplish this by affecting the amount of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. Serotonin and norepinephrine are neurotransmitters, which travel through neurons in the brain. Scientists don't know a great deal about how these neurotransmitters affect your mood. But they do know that when antidepressants alter how neurotransmitters travel, it stabilizes your emotions.

The fact that the reactions here are so relevant shows that the use of these drugs has become popularסטים חתימת פוסט.png

There is a truth that can not be appealed by anyone, it is this: Your life has been overloaded. It is for every person, every age, every class, every person. The problems are up, it's unquestionable. But how to solve these problems is not settled more. From the people I talked to, I understand that the majority of those who support antidepressants. It's like 40 percent, but 60 percent. However, the complaints of those who take antidepressants due to their problems and leave after a while are also very sincere. I am against the head. I'm against anti-depressant intake for the wacky things. But I said, "I saw your benefit," and he said, "No, you have not seen anything!" I do not know how to say it. @amiramnoam

I hope you read the comment I wrote above. I could not post the comment early due to the bandwidth problem.

Studies have shown that the use of antidepressants is correlated with an increased risk of suicidal behaviour and thinking (suicidality) in those aged under. This problem has been serious enough to warrant government intervention by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to warn of the increased risk of suicidality during antidepressant treatmen

of course you need a
doctor's escort

iIn most developed countries, the use of antidepressants has risen over the past 15 years. But which country is the highest consumer?

Nice post sir.You always uploads interesting and important post sir.Thanks for sharing.Upvote and resteem done.

Thanks for the sharing medicines post .

Amazing you post

Thanks for the sharing medicines post

the use of anti-depressants elevated just because people are easy with tablets means they hate generally identified addictions like wine etc but no one consider that these tablets are far more dangerous ....to me human perception and psychology has increased its usage ......every body when gets addicted to medicine or any other like smoking etc is hard to neutralize.....your point is really good and awareness will come through such posts...

One of the best medicines for depression, sedentarism and for procrastination are cold showers, yes u heard me right, COLD SHOWERS, some months ago the girl that i liked stopped talking with me for no reason, my grandfather died, my parents started talking about divorce and i had to study and was stressed out of my mind with the exams, i was depressed, and letargic, didn't know what to do about it, i was starting to think about just leaving homing change to another country and start all over, that was before i learned about COLD SHOWER, cold showers help with depression a lot, i think anyone that is depressed should try it.

the cost is too expensive to consult a doctor or psychology

I have seen many people get anti depresants and after a short time of taking them they get suicidal. My dad was one of them. After we threw his pills in the toilet and flushed them we wouldn't let him get any more and switched doctors. I taljed to him about it years later and he said it was like you were traped in your own head and someone else was driving.

essential and important information about medicines. thanks for sharing

if friend @amiramnoam, it would be more correct to take the medication, but people do the opposite, self-medicate, drug themselves, etc. People do not know what they can take antidepressants without a prescription.

Well
Weed has become regular in my country
Musicians display it on almost all their videos
It has become the "Bigboys thing" to "kush" they call it.
I concur that this makes them feel better, but only for a short term. In the long run the root of the problem is still there and then the problem sprouts out again!
In summary,
I think we can do the impossible, we can continue to hold on, share problems and not have to subject ourselves to alcohol or drugs
Thanks sir!

We live in an age where everything is wanted NOW. With mental illness that doesn't happen. You end up playing russian roulette with medication until something works, then it stops working and the process starts all over again.

We are not taught how to deal with or cope with these issues. Some people do better than others. I fought for years on taking regular medication. At 21 I did not want to take pills the rest of my life. At that time you saw a therapist, they blamed your issues on a parent, then it was never dealt with.

About 8 yrs ago my therapist at the time said, "give it up you're going to be on medicine the rest of your life" I have tried eating right, exercising, mediation, yoga. Mediation has had the most success...the problem comes in when you aren't classified as disabled, you are at work and you feel the anxiety starting....then what?

Regardless of everything medicine only works to a point. If you don't learn the skills to change your thinking or learn to cope better, you will always been at it's mercy.

I recently did a post on coping and basic grounding skills you can do while you're at work. Again everyone is different and needs to find out what works for them.

Anti depressants and drugs like that are good at helping relieve the symptoms but not the cause, in the end therapy like CBD, counselling and well being techniques like meditation are what most people need in their lives. I'm only been into this stuff properly for about 4 months but I'm already feeling a vast improvement in my daily wellbeing.

Obviously more serious mental health issues can't just be solved this way but the majority of people suffer from low depression and anxiety.
