People are depressed because the fucking kikes are ruining everything.

Where to start on this?

I have major depression going back to my teens. Never have been on an anti depressant, but birds of a feather, have met many who have. The results of anti depressants has shown some really nasty results.

1.) What are the types of depression

Depression comes in multiple flavors.
a.) Traumatic depression, or depression caused by a high stress event.
b.) Long term depression, where the wiring on the inside is set to being default depressed.
c.) Seasonal depression, where the weather decides to assign a cloud specifically for you.
d.) Manic depression, a lovely roller coaster of highs, lows, and the transition phases.

2.) What is the function of depression from a biological standpoint

Short term depression is meant to keep an animal in a hidden restful state after a bad experience. The appetite is suppressed so you don't spend time outdoors hunting gathering while injured, and inflammatory responses are stimulated to assist with fighting of bacteria that may have gotten into a wound.

Long term depression is generally caused by repeated short term events rewiring the neural pathways, a permanent change in the guts micro biome, and a general understanding of what homeostasis is. Rather then being an adaptive mechanism this is a misalignment and health issue.

Seasonal depression is meant to keep you out of poor weather and keep you from getting sick from a weakened immune system.

Manic depression, I don't know enough about. I assume that a subject is rather healthy in the manic state. Loads of energy, brain working at optimal, very outgoing individuals. But, the sudden shift triggered by either their biological clock or the weather is such a 180 that most notice the rapid shift as a drastic change in state with their life.

3.) What mechanisms turns short term depression into long term depression

First and foremost, the neural pathways are changeable. If trained for a long enough period of time to behave in a specific manner they will begin optimizing towards the least resistant path. So, if you're always in the dumps then they'll switch to a state that you will be in the dumps easier.

Alongside this, the bacterial consistency of your gut is the prime chemical powerhouse of the body. I don't know enough about this, but there was a really strange study where they performed a stool transplant on depressed individuals with healthy people. This had an 90%+ positive effect. I assume if you eat poorly while depressed a lot of the good bacteria in your gut dies and you never recover properly.

A toxic buildup of stress hormones can also play a role. Serotonin is a strong anti inflammatory substance, and it may balance out the stress hormones that the body is producing, particularly in the gut. But, SSRIs are massive overkill and getting proper antioxidants into the diet (especially magnesium, vitamin D, and melotonin) works better without the strange neurological side effects.

4.) What can be done to alleviate short term and long term depression

There are a few therapies that I've found work well. The first being rather stupid, but still worked.

a.) Journal 3 things you're thankful for.
Holy shit this one seems dumb. When you feel like shit you're not thankful for anything. It's a practice to try and rewire the brain to recognize what you're actually glad to have in your life. It works after about 2 weeks, but it's really hard to start and keep going with it consistently for time when you don't want to expend energy on dumb shit.

b.) exercise
When getting up out of bed is hard enough, going for a walk in the sun is like running a fucking marathon. If you do have a depressed friend force them into moving. It has a lot to do with the buildup of stress hormones in the body. Exercise helps filter all of that out.

c.) diet
GET ANTIOXIDANTS THAT HELP WITH INFLAMMATION
I cannot stress this enough. The inflammatory response is causing the brain to go into a restful state. The restful state is causing an inflammatory response. Do not eat junk food as it makes inflammation worse.

For the most part depression is a symptom of an underlying cause that should be treated. Just throwing on SSRIs on top can treat the symptom but does jack shit to heal an individual.

This world is so stupid. There's nothing inherently unhealthy with feeling depressed if thats the right way to feel. Something bad happens to you, you SHOULD feel bad, just like if you break a bone you should feel pain. In fact, if you don't thats something wrong with you. All antidepressants do is mask pain, stopping you from processing it and thus you get the highly ironic suicide warnings on anti depressants. Its simple logic.

Considering the source. I wouldn't trust anything they say.

But let's completely disregard a lack of stressful life events causing depression.

People have it too easy these days. There's no struggle. No struggle means no accomplishments. No accomplishments means depression and no sense of self worth.

Edit: KEK. After I posted that, I see this https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=62de87d953d6b

Stressful life events like....being lied to constantly, having your business closed, your job eliminated, and being forbidden from seeing your dying loved ones in the hospital, all over a spicy cold?

Stressful events like watching your country being overrun by outsiders who hate you and want you dead?

Stressful events like watching everything you and your ancestors worked for be pissed away to appease a bunch of degenerate subhumans so they don't have to feel the weight of their own miserable lives and terrible decisions?

Depression is caused by shit societies purposely trying to destroy people's souls so they will go to a job they hate to make some asshole rich who thry hate while jews are actively trying to genocide the race you belong too... that will cause depression my chemicals stay the same this jew zog society is what is causing me to feel a little down... also this society turns good white women into evil fucking narrcisistic whores furthering the shit!!!

I have yet to see any depression study talk about toxic exposure of the brain. Even though alcohol (a neurotoxin), for example, changes your behavior, no one seems to be able to link depression with the possibility of toxin exposure.

I suffer from something called MCS, multiple chemical sensitivity. A total pain in the ass condition, where the body's ability to handle any chemical exposure is essentially gone. This means even minuscule amounts of exposure to perfumes, detergents, molds, paints, fumes - basically anything in the air, can trigger numerous various symptoms in my body.

As a consequence I am like a canary in the coal mine, and as an example, certain perfumes trigger INSTANT suicidal depression in me.

I see many other effects of exposure too. For example for me, nightmares are directly coupled to exposure. So far, every time I have bad nightmares, I discover I have been exposed to something while I was sleeping.

Therefore I believe nightmares are actually, in most cases, an effects of pollution of the brain. Be it air pollution, or internal pollution (food, inflammation, bacterial).

I'm sure there are many other triggers to depression, but because of my experience with MCS, toxic exposure is a crystal clear and obvious trigger to me.

People with chronic depression should therefore consider this when diagnosing themselves. Do you have mold in your house? Do you use perfumes, shampoos, detergents or other products which could be contributing to your condition? If you live in an apartment building, even your neighbors using such products could be contributing (through unintended air exchange in the building; apartments are not air tight).

Such pollutants are of course not the only triggers for depression, but just wanted to point this out, because it seems to be a big puzzle piece missing from the depression discussion.

Every school shooter and almost all the mass shooters, were on ssris. This goes back to columbine. They even did the bullshit bullying smear on that school because klebold told his doctor multiple times that his medication made him feel wrong and evil, so the doctor prescribed the generics.

Kill all the jews, everywhere, and 90% of depression everywhere will cease to exist inside a year. Jews cause depression, because jews created this shit-hole of a world; kill them, and things will start to get better....

I have developed a rich-inner life.

I want to add that if you have depression, chiropractic care can help at least temporarily. It is a non drug approach to treating the nervous system. If your spine is fucked up it can cause all sorts of problems.

Only thing is you want to find a chiropractor that isn’t a quack. The field is somewhat lagging behind medical science, but is quickly catching up. Just like medicine used to be involved with blood letting, chiropractic can be riddled with bunk ideas.

I’ve struggled with depression for some time and going to the chiropractor can make me feel better for a little while after an adjustment. Even if it’s placebo, antidepressants seem to be a placebo as well, with little evidence for improving depression except for extreme cases.

Serotonin, the fraudulent anti depressant

https://men-elite.com/2020/04/24/serotonin-the-fraudulent-anti-depressant/

Almost all depression is situational. Job, family, money, etc. For some it's being aware that they are physically unattractive. Being ugly wears one's spirit down.

Isn’t this a repost https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=62db8153980bf

People around here talk about SSRIs making you erratic. I suppose thta is true with a subset of people.

What is really bad about SSRIs is the long term cognitve penalties that they don’t tell you about.

Prozac slowly makes you stupid and forgetful. This is true of many psych drugs but benzos and SSRIs in particular.

I basically think the whole disease paradigm of mental illness is wrong. Depression is usually no more of a disease than red hair. Its just a trait. Its got plusses and minuses.

None of their pills do well long term at supressing its negative aspects.

All antodepressants do is allow one to accept the current situation.

It numbs you - never makes anything better.

Been there, done that...just another way to make (((pharma bucks))).

A number of years ago German research showed that SSRIs do not function as was theorized. The antidepressive effect is likely placebo.

Aren't they about as effective as a placebo?
