Depression is not caused by chemical imbalance in the brain
Would Pharmafia lose their market on antidepressants? Not necessarily — as long the psychiatrists (quacks) still prescribe their drugs — to make money by making their patients worse.
Serotonin theory of depression has been refuted after 30 years — making people worse — with antidepressants. Only cognitive behaviour therapy is good for coping with depression. Exercise and ice cold bath prevents depression. Contraindications for ice cold bath: High blood pressure, diabetes, neuropathies, poor circulation, lung and heart diseases
Psychiatrists weren’t regarded by doctors and other specialties as being very medical. They were seen more as storytellers (quacks) as opposed to having a scientific basis.

Analysis: Depression is probably not caused by a chemical imbalance
Writing in The Conversation, Professor Joanna Moncrieff and Dr Mark Horowitz (both UCL Psychiatry) report on their new research showing no clear evidence that serotonin levels or serotonin activity
A Decisive Blow to the #Serotonin Hypothesis of #Depression.
An exhaustive new review debunks the “chemical imbalance” theory of depression.
Surveys indicate that 85-90 percent of the public believes low serotonin or a chemical imbalance causes depression.
Among 237 psychology students interviewed, 46 percent had heard the chemical imbalance explanation from a physician.
The serotonin hypothesis has been challenged repeatedly and found wanting, even as it remains popular and influential.
A comprehensive, well-powered, high-quality umbrella review now determines that the theory is “not empirically substantiated.”

Magic #Mushroom Compound Shows Promise as #Depression Treatment in Key Study
The main psychoactive ingredient found in magic mushrooms can significantly reduce symptoms of difficult-to-treat depression, data from the largest clinical trial ever to test the keenly-watched compound has found.
The mid-stage study, conducted by the London-based and Nasdaq-listed COMPASS Pathways (CMPS.O), involved 233 patients with so-called treatment-resistant depression who have failed to benefit from at least two antidepressants.
Psychoactive ingredients, whether derived from cannabis, LSD or magic mushrooms, have long captivated mental health researchers. #Psilocybin in most regions is classified as having no medicinal value, falling in the same category as chemicals such as LSD.

“People do get better on the drug — but in the vast majority of cases it’s not because of what’s in the drug.” — Irving Kirsch, assoc. director, Program in Placebo Studies and the Therapeutic Encounter at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center @doctormercola
