What Doctors and Scientists Know

Immediate Chemical Action: Medications like SSRIs (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) quickly block the reabsorption of neurotransmitters like serotonin within hours of taking a pill, raising their levels in brain synapses.
YouTube·TED-Ed +1
Observed Effectiveness: Decades of clinical trials show that these medications genuinely help many people reduce symptoms of major depression, anxiety, and related mood disorders.
Anxiety and Depression Association of America, ADAA +1

What They Do Not Know (The Gaps)

The Time Delay: While neurotransmitter levels rise within hours, patients typically take 4 to 8 weeks to feel actual emotional and clinical relief. If low serotonin alone caused depression, people would feel better immediately.
Mayo Clinic Press +1
The "Chemical Imbalance" Myth: The old idea that depression is simply a "broken chemical deficiency" (like low insulin in diabetes) has been heavily questioned and found to lack direct proof. Artificially lowering serotonin in healthy people does not trigger depression.
YouTube·Dr. Josef +1
The Full Chain to Mood Recovery: Researchers are still mapping out how changing neurotransmitters triggers a broader cascade of changes—such as encouraging neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to regrow and rewire connections) and shifting negative emotional processing.
The New York Times +1

How Doctors Think of Them Now
Rather than viewing antidepressants as a simple "fix" for a chemical shortage, modern psychiatry increasingly sees them as a catalyst or cognitive window. They help reopen a state of enhanced brain plasticity—essentially making the brain more flexible so that therapy, lifestyle changes, and new coping habits can help rewire unhealthy thought patterns over time

Vaccines cause autism (a heavily debunked theory).
- Wi-Fi causes "leaky brain", allowing toxins to cross the blood-brain barrier.
- Chemicals in the water supply are turning children transgender.
- Antidepressants are the primary driver behind mass school shootings in America.
- HIV does not actually cause AIDS.

Prove to me that EMFs have no negative affect on humans. when I was working and happened to be near or under high voltages lines I could feel the hair on my head stand up, and my eyes got fuzzy.
Prove to me that drugs flushed down city toilets and diluted into our water supply don't have side effects. You can't tell me that steroids and pain killers flushed down the sewer don't harm anyone or anything.and
Almost every single mass shooter was or is on antidepressants. the dr's do not know how they actually work,

hey, Kennedy is a good guy, I like him! he says how he feels , like his quote about voting,

“There is no excuse - VOTE! If dead people can do it, so can you!”

"Last month, Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley revealed his officers are arresting two or three offenders a week who have been set free from prison under the programme.

Police leaders say the situation will only get worse as more dangerous offenders are let out under Labour's reforms. "

You can't make this shit up, these people commit crimes, get let out of jail to commit more. sadly people there have no firearms to protect themselves either!

actually saw Zero candy bars at the wally world the other day,hadn't saw any in years.thought they had quit making them

wow,i hope that poor woman you knew got some form of justice

Again, that's how we all felt about biden

There are differences in the democrat brain and the republican brain.

"A significant amount of research also suggests that people who vote liberal or conservative have different psychological characteristics. Conservatives tend to have stronger attitudes toward threat and conflict, while liberals tend to be more likely to seek out novelty and uncertainty. "

In other words, dems dont mind putting us at risk!

That is why I copied and pasted that section, 33% of the american people are criminals.

"Approximately 70 million to 78 million Americans—or about one in every three adults (roughly 33%)—have a criminal or arrest record"

As for respecting criminals that won't rehab, no,I don't. But I don't mind saying I do have some respect for the other 70%.

Belly getting bigger,dick getting smaller.

I am not a part of that lower 30% either,i am not a thief! I am part of the 69% that tried or trys to work and EARN my way thru life the best I can. please don't accuse me of being a thief.Thanks.

Now you understand how we all felt about biden

thats the good thing about having Presidents in their 80's ,you don't have to worry about them getting it up quick enough to have "quickys" like clinton did.

I would rather deal with mom and pop stores and have when I can .But when their prices put things out of my reach, I can't help it, i have to go the cheaper route.
Tools are a prime example. I could buy 1 wrench of each size over time from the Snap on tool truck and owe him my soul and help keep up a mom and pop business. OR I can go buy 2 full sets of wrenches that test and work in some ways BETTER for the same price as 1 of his wrenches.

You know where I do most of my shopping? Good will, Christin ministry stores and the like. I can support a good cause,get a good deal on name brand stuff and save money all at the same time. Consumerism as you call but on a budget,Yea I want a pair of pants without holes in the pockets.but damned if I am paying 50 bucks for them when I get 5 pairs for 3 bucks a pair! of the SAME BRAND!

Bidens job numbers may have been skewed by the fact that covid affected jobs.

cat, if you went to the dr, and the dr. noticed a lump in your right breast and he mentioned, "we need to get this checked for cancer". Would you do it or say, "oh, it's not bothering me yet,so it's not a threat"?

Same with Iran and a nuke, we know they are wanting a nuke,we know other enemys are probably selling them materials, why not take premptive action to prevent them from having a nuke? Instead of "oh, no threat right now,they don't have 1 yet" and then wait until they are waving it in our faces to finally then say,"oh we have a problem".
As far as political discussions, there is a little rolly knob on my computer mouse that allows me to scroll past what I don't like or don't want to respond to, I think there are some down right,straight up IDIOTS on this forum,but hey, live and let live. Some like Ananas will at least try to explain their mindset, others like leo,just call people names and jurk off in their coffee.

Oh,geez, i am sorry you folks have never watched some good people start out with this innocent tobacco alternative and progress to the point of death from stronger stuff. to stop the drug problem, need to start at the root,pot. IF and I do mean a BIG IF, people would stop at 1 or 2 joints,1 or 2 beers, or a couple glasses of wine, it wouldn't hurt much at all of society. But these things are addictive, that is when it starts doing harm.

Well now we know why hitler was so mad at the world, his balls didn't drop!

You know, i got to thinking, poor old Osama bin laden is out there somewhere ,wondering where his 72 virgins are as he is surrounded by goats, and he also thinking, "you know, had I just went to America and promised free grocerys, they would have voted me into their congress and I could have still be alive!"

Hey Ananans, how's this for 1 month? you keep saying no jobs were made by Trumps economy, well dispute this.

Key Highlights from the October 2026 Jobs Report

• Unemployment Rate: Dropped slightly to 4.1% from 4.2% in September.
• Private Payrolls: Increased by 159,000 jobs.
• Revisions: August and September payroll numbers were revised upward by a combined 84,000 jobs (August updated to 186,000 and September to 60,000).
• Wages: Average hourly earnings rose 0.4% for the month and 3.1% compared to a year earlie

No, overcoming ignorance is very exspensive

The top 1% made it possible to get anything delivered right to your door within a day.
The lower 30% will steal it off your porch

Approximately 70 million to 78 million Americans—or about one in every three adults (roughly 33%)—have a criminal or arrest record

Now, which 1 do you think the democrats want to continue to succeed?

and you guys will be out the next election because you folks won't get your shit together either. that's how bidens replacement the Cackler, lost

geez, read the "first 100 days" article that was on the web just yesterday! 4 investigations just into the new Air Force 1 that was GIVEN to the US to use since our own fucking company BOEING, can't get their shit together and FINISH the fucking new planes they are contracted to build! and part of that is probably because of to much government red tape and regulation.
you don't ride around in a raggdy ass ride, you expect our leader to? Air Force 1 is getting old, air frames have a useful life span, do you want your next democrat president to crash and burn literally? I would rather just see figuratively and no one get hurt

and for socialism

surprise,leo has a smart ass answer!

Well, Trump Won 2024 because people got tired of the revenge bullshit and NO progress made on ANY front for America during biden, So Trump won again.
The same morons ,like you said have the memory of a gold fish, will then turn and vote gop again in 2028 or 2030 because they will be tired of the infighting of the dems and the LACK OF PROGRESS once again that dems have a track record for. a

What part of having accountability for BOTH would you have a issue with?

Uh,no, she looks more like a 75 year old MAN.

I have Cherokee ancestry and I AM still here!

I won't disagree their issue is ALSO to do with the data centers but they want to stifle AI research as well. Read and study the issue. they are afraid they will become to "smart". Which couldn't happen fast enough as organic intelligence is rotting away here in the USA.

Oh, ok, so missing livestock and such,not costing you anything so you don't care uh? YOUR way of thinking is why all this a problem to start with. If those people really wanted a better life,they would fight to save their homeland and not be running from a challenge like wimps. What if our ancestors had ran when the Indians started shooting arrows at them to canada?

if he is intelligent, I must be a fucking rocket scientist!

Leo,take the time to study the folks that got voted in, you won't find a saint among them

protection from what?
Why do people that do nothing deserve the same as those that do as far as healthcare? You would waste a donated heart on a homeless person instead of a ceo that provides jobs wouldn't you? You and I are regular people, we both worked jobs as long as we were able, so yes, we need and deserve food ,health care our employers provided and so on , but, the others that do nothing, no,

Well, you have to look at the voter base that put her there, a bunch of folks that got here questionably and are non productive bums on society. Doesn't the child care lering center fraud scandal the smolie towel heads were doing mean anything?

What is really sad about the election is dems are so afraid of AI replacing their voters they want to control it to much.
It will stifle our technology and allow other countries to pass us in high tech fields such as robotics. We should not be restricted in any way when it comes to research on Ai or other tech that could improve human life.

What cost more than gas at 4 dollars a gallon?

Paying for college loans I never took out,
paying for food for illegal immigrants,
paying for health care for illegals,
paying for bridges and buildings in country's that hate us, foreign aid,
Paying to protect other countries that hate me,

No,You go hide in the corner,

Yea,I went over the edge a bit.But I still feel like mostly it was ignorance.

Leo is actually a asset to the world in 1 way. He serves as a reminder to us how much other people and other countries hate our freedoms and rights as Americans. IF he was in America,I would say he would be dancing to the North Korean national anthem down mainstreet. only registered users can see external links

to spread their influence and beliefs?

Insanity you mean.

I will see I was right in a year or 2. Trump is not dead, so the ideas are still alive.
