I have to agree with this. It is the biggest flaw in the study. I have bipolar disorder and when I am depressed, I quickly know when something works. To negate the placebo effect at time I will trick myself taking prozac. When I am depressed I have found a single dose of prozac in one day will change my mood. Do I think someone who is not depressed would see mania taking one does of Prozac?
> If left untreated, depending on severity, this can lead to suicide, delusional thinking, schizoid breaks, homelessness and very often self treatment with illicit drug use.
I am current in most of these states; homeless, suicidal, and just suffered psychosis during a covid infection and dealing with an odd perception of reality. Talking to people about their sadness I know, luckily, most people do not know what depression is. There is such large gap between mental health and mental illness.
- mensetmanusman 4y agoIt probably means little, but I’m sorry you are going through this.
- FollowingTheDao 4y agoThanks, it means a lot.
- UnpossibleJim 4y agoIt sucks and I'm truly sorry you have to deal with it. The only reason I know about it and can truly empathize is because I have epilepsy and my first medication caused severe clinical depression, my second made me suicidal and now my third (combinatorial, one of which is used as a bipolar medication weirdly) seems to have the fewest side effects. But saying that, it was different than just a mood and ot was, at least in my case, for sure chemical. Getting off of those medications was like flipping a switch, as I hadn't had depression or had suicidal thoughts in the past, or since. It was so bizarre and eye opening, to say the least.
- FollowingTheDao 4y agoYeah, I guess anything that tamps down the electrical firings in the brain is going to tap down all the electrical file and the brain and that’ll cause depression. Both bipolar and seizures are linked to a lot of the ion channel genetics. Like calcium potassium and sodium. I know I have a bunch of genetic changes and all of those. Be well.
