What's Wrong with Antidepressants?

Among other problems, they don’t work for more than half the people who take them. New findings from an investigation at the Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine suggest that antidepressants fall short because they’re aimed at the wrong biochemical targets in the brain. That is why you are now seeing adds on t.v. saying to take an additional drug if your are still depressed on your current antidepressant. And that is depressing!!! Chronic stress doesn’t cause the same molecular changes in the brain as depression, and undermines the belief that stress itself can be a major cause of depression. And most anti-depressants are more suited to treating stress than depression. Today's antidepressants are focus on the effect of depression not its cause. My belief is that we need to flood the entire body with nutrients, exercise and take mindful meditation or yoga, etc. to help the body get back to a good stage. This information is not to be confused with deep seated depression or clinical depression but mild depression that comes and goes.
