That prescription you’ve got, you’re going to be taking for the rest of your life. It’s going to wreak havoc on your gut biome, that’s why you haven’t had a normal bowel movement since you were a kid. 

Throw that shit away and take some action to support the most important piece of equipment you’ll ever get your hands on, your body

@notdevin.eth and his holy war on anti-depressants has never seen postpartum depression, ptsd, sad, etc

what about pain medications for termally ill people?

there are, for sure, drugs that shouldn't be needed, e.g. ozempic, blood pressure drugs, etc—this is managed by diet and exercise much better, yet requires systemic changes (i.e. making junk food less available)

on the other hand, there's way more evidence that animal products cause harm than that seed oils cause harm (literally all the evidence says seed oils are safe)—yet people are afraid of seed oils while indulging on red meat daily

the world is nuanced and there're no easy solutions

> I have, the solution is in your sleep, food, and exercise

oof, Devin, this is very dangerous notion you have here, i'm talking as a clinical psychologist here

it's like trying to deal with cancer by using essential oils

depression, ptsd, sad are real diseases that have physical manifestations in the brain chemistry, and these physical manifestations *do not* go away after people fix their diet, sleep and exercise

i'm afraid that you haven't dealt with real depression and trying to extrapolate your personal experience for the larger population

but this leads to issues like Jobs dying from a very treatable form of cancer

again, we *can see* clinical depression in the brain with fMRI and can clearly diagnose it like we can diagnose a tumor, and we can also see the healing like you see a scratch or a cut healing

it does not heal with diet, sleep and exercise in *most* people, unfortunatelly

as for the inflammation, not sure if you have confirmation bias here or survivorship bias, but we have metastudies that clearly show that vegan diets are **less** inflamatory than omnivore diets

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7730154/

Devon, you're fighting facts and clear science here, please, ask yourself: why are you doing this? what do you gain by trying to reject common sense and *provable* things that were proven tens and hundreds of times?

ser, you gain nothing but negativity coming from you internally

interestingly, we also have an umbrella study (that is, a meta study of meta studies) conducted by two researchers independently that come to the same results about the seed oils: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39053603/

they didn't find any statistically significant adverse effects of seed oils, yet they found numerous benefits, no increase in inflammation markers either

Bullshit, top to bottom. I can look at you and tell you eat a vegan diet, your skin has an off color and inflammation, you also carry weight you shouldn’t. 

You think I’ve never felt what depression feels like? I have, the solution is in your sleep, food, and exercise. It’s a lie that you need these pharmaceutical but useful in keeping you a slave.

Love you still though 😘

Thank you for being vocal on this. Not ok for anyone to judge another’s pain and tell them they are managing it wrong. 
I needed those antidepressants when my mom was murdered. Living in Alaska with no sunlight, definitely doesn’t help. 
Still can’t believe someone can talk down on them. Yes, the goal is to not be on them forever, it’s hard for some. 
I’d say drinking soda and eating processed food is a lot worse.
