How long before this gets serious consideration and a cure for "depression" becomes available?
- lvass 5y agoThat's the only thing left until our World is indistinguishable from a Brave New one.
- more_corn 5y agoThere was a quite promising study treating depression with psychedelics. Study precipitants reported 3 months of relief from a single dose. I think it was paired with therapy. One study is hardly conclusive. I'd love to see more of those studies.
- dfxm12 5y agoAs long as the US continues the war on drugs, maybe 2 or 3 generations, based on how marijuana research is playing out.
- hbn 5y agoIf a cure for depression was ever found, you'd be fighting a lot of very rich and very powerful companies with a vested interest in keeping people on their products forever
- createunderrate 5y agoNever. While helpful, this is not a cure.
- ChipSkylark 5y agoI'm not a doctor or health professional of any kind. But my friend showed me a study a while back of turmeric supplementation and how it can be comparable and in some cases more effective than prozac: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23832433/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23832433/ I started taking 450-900mg daily and noticed an increase in optimistic perspective and seeing "the point" of doing things during rut of burnout after quitting my last job. Just my story. This is not health advice.
- r1ch 5y agoBe careful, turmeric can sometimes be adulterated with lead chromate to give it a more vibrant orange color. Make sure you buy from reputable places that test it if supplementing.
- hidden-spyder 5y agoWould adding it to food have the same effect?
- ranger_danger 5y agoProbably forever because there's no money in cures.
