I have to disagree with the false hopes part. Just went to find some reviews(in 100s) on aswagandha products who gave 5 star reviews who claim it helped them with their depression better than prescribed ones. I think we are getting lost in the loop again - "I won't take it until it is well studied" while rest of the people already befitting from it without any side effects reported. Problem is no one wants to do it for other medicines like "Metformin" which is proven to result in a person getting promoted to insulin injections later. Strangely no one till date knows how it works! Diabetes is similar too, it happens because of a multitude of factors, yet it all reduced to one single medicine "Metformin". Did you ever question that? Why?
- kekebo 8y agoIt's nice that it works for you and others, it doesn't for me and most people around me. Selling it as a magic cure leaves me and those people excluded. While science has its pitfalls I think we should try to be more scientific than giving out general recommendations based on (potentially faked) online reviews for a marketed product. I can recommend checking out the Sapolsky lecture i linked above which should quickly make clear that a single chemical treatment approach is highly unlikely to ever become a general cure for all cases of depression.
