I know this subject can be very controversial and very hard to talk about, but I truly feel from the bottom of my heart, I wouldn't be my authentic self on this show if I do not cover an episode(s) on a topic that is very dear to my heart and I have put a lot of time and research into learning about.Depression and mental health conditions, we are taught to believe, are diseases where the individual has a chemical imbalance in the brain.  We are also taught that there is a drug, SSRIs (better known as your anti-depressants) that can provide relief if not cure someone's depression, because it helps that "chemical imbalance" of the brain.What if I were to tell you that chemical imbalance is false and has never been proven to be a fact, therefore we are sold a lie on a disease that is the most medicated condition.Sell the fear = sell the drug.  Sounds like a good business plan, right? I will give big pharma one thing, they are not dumb.This week I cover the truth about depression and due a deep dive on what it really is.  Next week we will dive deeper into SSRIs specifically.Be sure to tune in to hear the details.Subscribe and hang out with me every Wednesday to stay up to date on this show.
