> > > Anyone else on here we should consider banning because their message goes against us in our search for more pills? I don't wanna eat better or do anything else that might make my life better, I want more pills! Something with a neat, scientific sounding name would be preferable. They say exercise could help improve mood, but the only way I'm doing that is if "science" could like, put exercise in a pill for me. And anyone who realizes their life was screwed by taking these pills, well, let's pretend their experience never happened because it might impede us on our search for more pills!

Which antidepressants do you feel have never greatly improved someone's affective disorder? By the way, as much as eating better and exercising (anaerobic and aerobic) more has undoubtedly improved my overall health, they haven't improved in anyway my crippling bipolar depression. I suppose I should rail against Nautilus and Nordic Track as being hoaxes.

> At the least Lou doesn't ignore the fact that there's more out there that can help than just pills.Name one person here who does. Your assertion is insulting.
> I know what treatment resistance feels like. And because of it, my mind has been opened to the fact that there are so many possibilities out there, that have nothing to do with taking another pill.
Me, too. What do you really know about me and my 34 years of treatment history? Very little. Too little to include me in your insulting remarks.
> Possibilities that "science" backs. Ways that can help that are much less likely to be damaging than another pill. Sure, this is a medication forum. But when you have sick people coming here for help, who only know about the world of psychiatric treatments, and are seeking help from others who only point them to more psychiatric meds, they are closed off from so much more. I read about science often. I don't just read magazine articles about science. I like to get into the details as much as possible. I dont claim to know everything, but neither do the "experts". And what many do, is avoid the details as much as possible. What do we get? More pain and suffering. More people who get stuck.
You remain ignorant (not meant as a pejorative) to the collective experiences of those who post here. I suspect you are also ignorant of just how much the scientists already know. Do you think that science hasn't already looked at exercise and diet scientifically as treatments or adjunct therapeutics for depression?
> There is no science behind any idea that an antidepressant corrects any dysfunction in the brain.More ignorance (not meant as a pejorative).
Because of your ignorance, I must truncate any opining I had planned to do.
I hope that my assertion of your ignorance doesn't insult you any more than your assertions of mine.
