Does your Life Suck? Great. got milk? I mean, Saffron.. Huh?

Saffron, a popular Middle Eastern spice, may be effective for treating mild to moderate depression, according to a study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (2005;97:281--4).

Depressive disorders affect about 19 million Americans each year. People who are depressed may experience excessive weight loss or gain, sleepiness or insomnia, feelings of worthlessness, decreased pleasure in activities that were once enjoyed, difficulty thinking and concentrating, persistent sad mood, and thoughts of suicide or death. Women are twice as likely as men to develop depression... What does all this mean? Mommy didn't hold me enough, Daddy touched my pee pee... Shut up and quit whining. If you're really depressed, and who isn't these days, have you seen my paychecks.. Then get off your oh, sad, little me ass and get some exercise. Move your butt! Clean something. Go for a run. Are you really "depressed," or just a little run down, over whelmed, tired? Perhaps your life really sucks. Remember, you are responsible for you. Do something about it. Or, do nothing and take your drugs. Your choice.. Dang, I feel better already. See. Happy birthday to me. I think I'm gonna go buy something! Yay! (not really my birthday..)

At least it's a job! I should be "thankful" huh? Okay... so my darling, significant other (Wife) and Mommy of my two youngest children, owns the corporation.. my job (ahem) does have it perks! Can't wait to get home! Anyway, here's of list of depression meds that may help you if you believe that you are depressed. Come on, you weren't always depressed right? There are numerous depression medications available, of which all have benefits and risks... but what tha hell! Look at the side effects! You really want anal leakage? Heck, the effects alone should make you want to explore other options! Are you sure you're really depressed? Or are you just afraid of living? As my brother would say, "I'm just sayin!"


Abilify. Abilify is a depression medication that's used in combination with other antidepressants. Abilify is often prescribed to treat mental and mood disorders, but can be used in combination with other medications to treat depression. Possible severe side effects can occur, such as heart failure and stroke when used by elderly patients.
Cymbalta. Cymbalta is prescribed to treat depression and anxiety that may be caused by underlying health conditions, such as arthritis and diabetes. This depression medication may improve mood, appetite and energy level. As with Celexa, this medication may not be beneficial for those under 25 years of age because it may worsen depression symptoms in some people.
Paxil. Paxil is an SSRI depression treatment medication. It may also relieve obsessive-compulsive disorder and panic attacks, as well as a variety of other conditions. Paxil may not be appropriate for people under 25 years of age because it can worsen symptoms in select people.
Prozac. Prozac can treat a number of conditions, including depression. Possible benefits achieved from Prozac can include improved sleep, appetite, mood and energy level. Prozac is another antidepressant medication that may not be suitable for people under 25 years of age.
Wellbutrin. Wellbutrin is a depression medication that works by correcting chemical imbalances within the brain. Those taking Wellbutrin must be monitored closely because it is known to cause an increase in suicidal thoughts in certain people.
Zoloft. Zoloft is commonly prescribed to treat panic attacks, depression and other disorders. Zoloft can restore interest in every day living, mood, sleep and energy level. People under 25 years of age must be monitored closely when using Zoloft because it may worsen symptoms in some people.

Best Choice! 

Niacin. Niacin (or vitamin B-3) has been a long-standing known cure for chronic depression and anxiety. Unfortunately, most of us have never heard of the potential emotional benefits of Niacin. Though the reason for secrecy surrounding vitamin therapy has a complicated and deep-rooted past, a simple explanation is that natural remedies are not supported by the U.S. medical field.

Making a Killing: The Untold Story of Psychotropic Drugging - Full Length

Your Mind can destroy that depression! Turn that fear, that anxiety, that worry, that hate, that repression, that bitterness, into Love! Just turn to Love!

'Through the development of an utterly fraudulent standard of care, psychiatrists and Big Pharma have been making a killing. Psychiatric appointments were once one or two hours long. People talked to them and tried to work their problems out. Now, though, appointments can be as brief as five minutes—and patients virtually always walk out with a diagnosis and either drugs or a prescription for drugs. Big Pharma makes billions of dollars from these prescriptions! This is the story of big money - drugs that fuel a $330 billion psychiatric industry, without a single cure.

PS! Take your niacin! Or at least study the wonderful effect that niacin and orthomolecular medicine has with people who claim to be or are truly depressed...Here's a question for you! When you notice that you're depressed, is the "noticer" depressed? Just a thought...

DUKE UNIVERSITY STUDY ON EXERCISE AND DEPRESSION

"We had assumed that exercise and medication together would have had an additive effect, but this turned out not to be the case!"

Hey, it's Marco! After demonstrating that 30 minutes of brisk exercise three times a week is just as effective as drug therapy in relieving the symptoms of major depression in the short term, medical center researchers have now shown that continued exercise greatly reduces the chances of the depression returning.

WHY ANTIDEPRESSANTS DON'T WORK! There has to be a better way...

Hey, it's Marco! (ok, you know that by now...) Personally, I've never believed in pharmaceuticals, however, I know some fine folks out there in "Loony Land," that can't seem to get thru the day without them. No problems here! Aren't drugs designed to keep you "hooked" for a lifetime? Some days I wish I was on something! But alas! Not going there! Thank Heaven for meditation! I don't recall anyone committing suicide from relaxing the monkey mind! Crazy, beautiful and loving world out there! Why would anyone want to depressed? Way too much to do and be thankful for as far as I'm concerned...but who I am but some guy with a dream...and a darn good drummer I might add! Where is my daughter by the way...
