Magnetic Effects on Human Mood

Human mood is science. Magnetic effect is science.

I have a Doctor who is a clinical neuroscientist. Very difficult for white males to get thru the Hep C treatments. We have a 25%
rate of acquired clinical depression. This isn't sadness, my forum mates, it's an emotional lobotomy. You can't take care of yourself and many have died thru self-harm. IAC, it can be a lasting scar and require lifetime maintenance of brain serotonin levels.

Imagine an MRI solution. Now this is science ciompleted human trials and proven harmlessness. And now efficacy is being proven with wide spread use of magnetic hammering to a certain section of the brain that seems to be responsible for serotinin re-uptake. Probably won't help me but will reduce the vast over prescribing of SSRIs, I hope.

I remember looking into this when it first hit the news. I suffer from clinical depression as well. Just keep in mind that there is no scientific proof that serotonin has anything to do with depression. The whole concept is flawed and SSRI drugs are now known to be no more effective in treating it than a placebo. What they are proven to do is make people suicidal and homicidal. So that fact alone should get some doctors to prescribe them less. What I would like to see is every pharma rep, bought off MD, and executive who pushes that poison thrown in jail for all the suffering they've caused. There is not and never will be a cure for melancholia, but friendship and cannabis help me better than anything else.

Interesting. They needs of the many. The need of the one. You have some blame issues, maybe, but to say serotonin re-uptake inhibition has no science, no human trials, is no more effective that placebo, is just WRONG. And, an un-helpful attitude for the millions like me it does help. In fact, I'm better now than I was before Hep C, mentally.

You need a better clinical neuroscientist, imo. I agree that non-specialists should not be prescribing these very dangerous drugs.

Why? Because without proper management and getting in front of the Doctor for 10 min evaluations can make us suicidal and homicidal.

Don't give up. We can be friends and this is friendly advice. :)

If people feel they need Prozac, it's their choice, and I would not want deprive them. However, the public has been mislead by Pfizer, Eli Lily, GlaxoSmithKline, etc. GSK has lied about the results of clinical trials regarding the dangers of Paxil more than once. My experience with Prozac, Paxil and others was indeed negative. My doctors even recommended ECT and accepting the treatment was one of the worse decisions of my life. After that experience, I can't trust psychiatrists or psychologists anymore. I have never worked with a neurobiologist.

I just don't believe in a chemical cure. Depression is complex and it has as much to do with one's environment as it does with one's brain chemistry. But if the pharma drugs work for you and help relieve some of your suffering, I'm glad to hear it.

“As a scientific venture, the theory that low serotonin causes depression appears to be on the verge of collapse. This is as it should be; the nature of science is ultimately to be self-correcting. Ideas must yield before evidence.” - Jonathan Rottenberg, Psychology Today

I have no doubt that the, "talk about feelings", based Psychology field, is against drugs. I'm sure you know that.

And all of the previous generation SSRI are not that effective, for everyone, but there are new drugs. Science marches on. I take Celexa and Deplin. Deplin is a micro-folate formulation. It has availability into the brain, where regular Folic acid does not. I don't have to believe anything. But, I sought out, not Psychologists, not Psychiatrists. I found a Clinical Neuroscientist who's main work is rehabilitation after brain surgery or brain injury. He considers "depression" as a brain malfunction. It's not environment, it's how my brain reacts differently than another's, to that environment. In my case, he considers Hep C treatment to have caused brain injury.
