Antidepressants and artificial happiness

[Arthur Gordon Pym]

They are harmful poison. To many people they brought intestinal troubles as side effect.

Not to mention insomnia, temporary impotence, xerostomia, tremor and other problems.

Ah! I should try them then!

Even that gets boring eventually.

Manual work help stay out, depression is born mainly from our unhealthy lifestyle, lack of physical activity, lack of company and of a love relationship.

Anyway the best cure is an healthy environment and a lot of physical work.

Staying in a neon lighted crammed office won't help at all but worsen things ...

PS

I was recently ordered an antidepressant for my backache problems, I have some little damage to my spinal chord (sometimes they are used as painkillers for in such situations). In two days I felt I was developing hallucynations and unmotivated fear.

Guess what I did.

Although depression here is not anything near to the levels of northern Europe, it is known but as a modern pathology. My grandfather, who was a surgeon M.D., used to say that depression was largely unknown in his times because men had families to feed and to educate, and there was no time for a pathology which is the result of a society based on leisure and on senseless consumption.
