Dr. Gabor Maté: Rising Depression, SSRI Lies, & Spiritual Disease | SYSTEM UPDATE 

Atomisation & Deracination - who'd have guessed

organizations became too big and too impersonal

I don't think anyone ever felt financial security.

Well, SSRIs have withdrawal symptoms, and withdrawal symptoms remind depression.

SSRIs have never demonstrated long term efficacy in a well designed trial. In fact, they have always been found inferior to placebo long term. There is some evidence for short term efficacy but the side effects are extreme and unpredictable. There is always a better treatment than SSRIs. @@definitelymaybe97

Doctors get kickbacks from the psychiatric industry

They hand it out like candy. Lucky you got off when you did, before it ruined your health, life, or relationships. It took 5 yrs to get my husband off, after it effectively trashed our relationship.

I am pleased that I never trusted doctors so much that if I said I was tired I would accept a drug for depression, but I certainly have trusted them for other things that I should not have trusted them for.

Aaron Maté is smart and brilliant

Glen, this was a great commercial for never moving to NY or the east coast. The Midwest and the South are much better in terms of community but Covid dealt a blow to community connections nationwide.

They did hysterectomies for post-partum depression in young women, calling it hysteria...

You must be so proud of her. She did great. Maybe she could help herself with essential oils to feel better. It is just smelling, not eating those oils. Not the artificial scents from chemicals that give us a headache and allergies. Please buy them good essential oils for yourself. Just some drops of essential orange and essential rosemary in a cup of hot water is good for concentration. Just smell the scent in the room. For relaxing there is lavender and other flowery scents. Everybody can find some personal oils to lift up their spirits. Maybe try Dr Bach rescue remedy for help in difficult times. Google it. Of course it doesn't substitute a big hug in difficult times but it may help to get over the first hours after a bad event. Your daughter needs to note a calendar for her menstruation cycles. Some moods swings are just hormones. She will find out at what time she feels bad. Mostly it is the three days before period is there. Hormones can drive everybody crazy. The contraceptive pill is a very dangerous hormone combination and causes severe mood changes in lots of girls and women. Your daughter might have a lack of vitamins to balance out those hormones. Omega 3 oil, vitamin D with K2 and Selenium are very important. Vitamin B group is very important as well. So many mental issues could be solved very easily. Just eat healthy oils and healthy fish. Eat as little sugar as possible. They did studies and even aggression in prisons got better for thirty percent when the inmates had healthy oils in their food every day. Just eat Omega 3 and vitamin D. . Some girls get depressed because they eat lunch and dinner without fat and oil. Horrible mistake. Our brains need good oil for nutrition and we just need oil and vitamins for our health. All the best for you and your daughter

Some SSRI's have components to help sleep which gives you sleep deprivation & stress when you get off it. Horrible. Sun, exercise, and a chiropractor/masseuse are needed the whole way through.

just be careful thinking going it alone makes you stronger....

We took 5 years to safely get my husband off his med. I opened capsules and removed contents to make custom doses.

Panic Attacks is exactly the reason I was on & off of ssri's since Zoloft was brand new. Getting off sux. I was somehow able to tell myself before I stopped, that no matter how bad i felt, it was only temporary until my body learns to produce the correct amounts again. Been about 3 - 4 years without drugs, or panic, or anxiety at all. I had gone close to 10 years without either before. And out of nowhere, (from my perspective) the attacks came back. When that starts happening, it happens 2 to 7? times a week, and I cannot function, and any help, kind people offer makes it worse, because we're now talking about it, and forgetting that I have them, is where the peace is at. I Will take anything there is the will make it stop.

Right there with you. ADHD is medicalization of a personality type and people accept it because they desperately want to fit in and lack the information to realize that's a bad trait to overindulge.

@@jonnovak6856 It’s all a mess, I’m just glad I have a clear head for whatever the hell is coming next…ha! Have a great day Jon!😊

The other sinister aspect of this Pharma scam is something unique to the US. We have no NHS, so if you loose/change jobs you will loose/lapse you access the therapy and medication. I had no physical addiction to the meds (took weekends off usually, if not working) luckily…however way more addictive things like benzos/SSRI’s I hear can kill you if abruptly quit. This is way more dire/gross situation for those folks in my opinion. *Just wanted to add that if anyone from other countries may read!

​@@brandonb5075 - We all need to know the EMBEZZLING SCAM that the corrupt sociopaths in power have been doing, and which also enriches Pharma (and vax companies, and more). It is my stance now that almost every billionaire became that rich with the help of this massive embezzling scam. Since you have a creative mind, I hope you will read the info and overview below, and will help share and EXPOSE the embezzling scam so we can end the reign of inhumane greedy sociopaths who are totally derelict in their duty and unfit to govern. US corrupt sociopaths have been taking over countries since at least WW2 so they could EMBEZZLE from more and more governments. They took over the UK, Australia, Canada and NZ in the 70s-80s. Wars are not always needed, threats and coups are often done - the CIA helped oust PM Gough Whitlam in 1975, who obviously said NO to their corruption plans - and even election rigging (for example, Macron in France). The corrupt liars know that government money IS NOT OUR TAXES, and that we have no actual "national debt", etc, but they lie to us endlessly to keep us duped about their massive and endless and INCREASING embezzling scam, which they call "privatization", and give us a huge con job about to make the public accept it. So - war companies were privatized long ago, then always more government systems and services: pharma companies/vax companies, also prisons, more and more of the Post Office, the healthcare "insurance" industry in the US, etc. And the sociopathic money ADDICTS doing the embezzling scam have been taking chunks of the healthcare system in all countries they took over that provided good NATIONALIZED healthcare, so Oz and the UK and Canada and NZ and even Italy, Germany and other countries coopted by the US greedy liars have been seeing "problems" the liars made with their embezzling and privatization. The US even took over Russia and Ukraine in the 90s under puppet Yeltsin and privatized everything they could, embezzling and creating the "Russian oligarchs" Western propaganda tells us about now. Putin ended much of that embezzling in Russia when he got in, but the US and their corrupt criminal buddies always manipulate against any leader who resists US corruption plans and plundering. So in 2014 the US funded the neo-Nazis in Ukraine to overthrow the elected Ukraine president and to kill tens of thousands of Russian Ukrainians for several years until Putin finally felt he had to defend the people and try to stop the greedy murderers. Now we must be aware that the lying sociopaths have set up as PRIVATIZED all the entities to subjugate us under the guise of "protecting our health" and "saving the climate" - vax databases, digital IDs, ESG, social credit, carbon tracking,15-minute cities, etc. The scheme is to get insanely richer, embezzling TRILLIONS FOREVER from many governments in the corruption cartel the US built, while ensuring we are squashed and controlled so we can't rise up to stop their inhumanity, corruption and tyranny. Clever, but diabolical and EVIL. We must end the reign of lunatic sociopathic money ADDICTS in power who are totally derelict in their duty and unfit to govern!

ADHD meds are uniquE to the individual AND are NOT a "holy grail" solution. You still have to be present and conscious. ADHD meds help me slow down. It makes NON-ADHD people speed up. A tool is only as good as the user's ability to utilize and maximize the benefits. There are MANY tools, a lot of which are NOT meds. I, as an adult diagnosed too late in life, attend classes that teach other skills that help me connect to those around me and achieve shared understanding in a positive way. I do empathise with your struggle and would not presume to know more than you have shared. Gabor's views on ADHD meds are abhorent. He is a "no meds" advocate. An extreme position, no less troubling than a possition promoting big pharma rhetoric of "everyone needs meds". Its pseudo science in BOTH cases. You may be creative and a quick thinker. Its because your brian is skipping a step. In some cases it helps you get to a correct solution faster (but people don't listen because you did not make them feel listened to and understood). In other cases it hurts (you are only adept at focusing on ONE thing at a time) because you get to an answer faster... but its WRONG because you didn't pay attention to detail as you rushed ahead. ADHD meds don't help you with that if you are not conscious of it. I.e. slowing down does not matter if you don't use that time to make people around you feel LISTENED TO and UNDERSTOOD. I can tell muself to slow down on meds and I interupt FAR less (a normal amount for a non-adhd person). I do not have the ability to do that with much success off meds... even caffeen helps but it is not consistent like a slow release adhd med. Hang in there. Finding support of others who struggle with 1st ballot hall of fame ADHD as well, is an important part of my growth to manage my ADHD, while maximizing the super powers that also come with it... creativity, hyper focus, abundance of energy.

S tier humans.

Vitamin D / 5-htp and a UV light might help.

I almost killed myself from the horrible withdrawal symptoms of getting off SSRIs. Never experienced such discomfort.

Why quit if they work!

AD use caused diabetes for me. I'm now free of diabetes after withdrawing entirely. Now I have older friends with long term use of AD's getting early dementia. Studies back up the brain deterioration. Very, very sad. Also, the withdrawal has been close to unbearable. See also the work of Dr. David Healy.

I wish that were my case but I cannot identify a reason for mine.

wow, glad to hear that, god bless the one that helped you and glad you are with us.

Thank you for sharing this on here.

The extremely poor Western diet is often ignored, and that's probably the most important reason why so many people are getting sick. I mean, people aren't dying of obesity, heart attacks and auto-immune disorders because of electro magnetic fields. It's clearly the goddamn food!

But RFK is a nutcase so there’s that.

@@ledaswan5990uh huh, sure Jan.

Thanks for the important reminder

Yeah, I'm just exiting my cave as we speak. I was in there for 7 years. The only difference is that environmental stimuli was good for me, but the people in my life weren't. I'd imagine that you'd have had things far worse than I if you had to limit environmental stimuli. I wish you all the best.

Discussions are important, but evidence is crucial. Being in mental heath for over 25 years, I've observed that most widely accepted psychological and psychiatric approaches fall short more often than not. One problem (among many) is that research is often quite shoddy in these areas. I don't mean outright malevolent manipulation of data, but there appears to be manipulation of the questions asked, the parameters within which the research is conducted. Counter assertions can be made, but without significant change in how research is conducted and reviewed, assertions without evidence they remain.

Great! Good advice.

So they can cause Karen behavior? 🤔 Didn't know that.

It all started in WUHAN CHINA. @@Cuplex1

Do you have any links to any interviews about that?

problem here is that talk therapy is very expensive and it's probably a safe Guess that most people are simply priced out

@@user-gr8qy9hb9q Agree. And it doesn't make a whole lot of money for Big Pharma.

@@user-gr8qy9hb9qtrue, I had to turn to books to get a lot of my therapy, particularly those by Alice Miller who is a genius in my opinion and probably provided a better quality of therapy through her books than I could have found in person. As far as psychology gurus, Alice Miller is at #1 for me and Gabor Maté is at #2. I was also helped a lot by a very interesting modality I was able to do for cheap for a little while called family or identity constellations. (In case other people out there are wondering what to do in lieu of expensive psychotherapy.)

I remember when I started meds and talking to a therapist, feeling worse when I left than when I went in. Ultimately, they said there was nothing else they could do for me, so they quit the therapy sessions and just pumped me full of meds.

​@@ghenuloThat's crazy bc counselors are overwhelmingly taught (both formally and through experience) that unveiling trauma always makes things feel worse before they get better. For your therapist to not know this means they had to be among the most incompetent in the entire world.

Actually, the most attractive job for a psychopath is to be the one who makes the laws. If you are smart and in control of yourself, you can easily work your way up the ladders of party politics or bureaucracy and become part of the DC establishment. If not, you can check on people's code violations and torture them in small ways.

Thomas Szasz was good; Mate I somehow cannot swallow; except for the mate tea.

@@iga279 Mate has his theory and I think he’s got some really good ideas, but I had a hard childhood and I still am dealing with memories, I don’t have any anger, or hatred or resentment like some people might entertain but to their own hurt and sadness. Why focus on the negative aspects of your life, when there is a faith that will lift me out of any pit that I might put myself in, if I focus on every bad thing that happened. This is why I said that God never gives us more than we can handle, if we have faith in His promise to be loving, then we can overcome any adversity or obstacles that might arise in our lives. It is not ridiculing anyone who is suffering, or saying that I am better, just that I have FAITH in my loving God.

High-dose niacin (B3) has also proven beneficial in some cases. If there’s any “chemical imbalance”, it’s with nutrients not being absorbed due to various health/genetic conditions causing deficiency states.

Not really. It’s primarily about how we were parented in our early years and the effect that has had on our self-esteem, confidence, sense of security, abundance, and well-being, sense of identity, physical health, the list goes on. I get absolutely no exercise these days and yet I’m doing significantly better than I was a few years ago because I have healed some of my larger childhood traumas. The whole “diet and exercise” mantra is shallow.

You should have specified that those are your particular keys, not universal keys. I happen to agree with the first two, but social interactions are not only a very low priority for me and others like me, they can be very draining and reduce the quality of one's life, not enhance it. Some of us prefer social interactions with species other than humans, of which there are many.

​​@@TerriblePerfectioneven the most introverted people need at least one friend that they can talk to. The amount of interaction you need can vary but you DO need some social interaction. I'm happier with non human animals too but a couple of human friends with whom I can share ideas have been invaluable to me.

LOL! Social interactions is the key to an unhappy life.

Trauma is impossible as an adult, only as a child can suffering/trauma occur

It's not placebo?

Ya sure to choose after figuring out the soil and light you where raised created the person....your goal of spiritual discovery is figuring out where it went wrong an then "I choose to become"

"God never gives more than we can handle" has got to be one of the most stupid platitudes I've ever heard in my life. Tell that to every poor soul who took their own life, or everyone who has died in war, or survived trauma with permanent harm. Utterly naive.

@@jams9705 I am not sure what you mean. Of course there where things in my life that where unpleasant and sad at times. Who has been raised to be an adult who doesn’t have some kind of bad memory from their childhood, if you just focus on the negative things that happened to you, then no wonder you would be depressed. God doesn’t want us to forget about the bad experiences, they are a part of who we are. Life isn’t about having an easy time, it is about suffering, pain, joy, happiness, love, kindness, caring, and peace that is sometimes beyond understanding why you have it.

@@eurapeon if you do not believe in God and have faith in His promises, then you will “never” understand what the promises of God can do for you. I am willing to remain a fool. Ciao

No. It's massive marketing and bs data.

So have I. I think I'm fine now that college is twenty years behind me, but my doctor insists that I continue taking my Prozac. It seems to be so long ago, that she doesn't even remember why I'm on it. Not too long ago, she suggested that I go to college and I felt like saying, "Why do you think I'm on Prozac to begin with?". I know it's certainly an experience I wouldn't want to repeat (or wish upon anyone), but eh, if I hadn't lived through it, I might be tempted to make that mistake now.

You are still on it but could go off it, but your Dr makes money out of you being on it
