Elite content Andrew, it had everything that you excel at, empathy, honesty and absolute and unapologetic insanity at the end. Love it, congrats on finding your niche, keep at it you big ball of humanity.
His unapologetic insanity is always surprising me
“Big ball of humanity” is by far the coolest compliment in the world!
@@Konnordawgso fk true. He has too much coolness and humanity lol
Digging this format. Like a less whimsical "California On" from back in the day. Not too deep, just enough to get people thinking. Your reaction at the end is kinda how I feel when seeing people discuss this stuff on the internet lol
Kassem G was an OG
The nurse with the pink top nailed it “having friendships and being seen”
I was excersizing almost daily, had good sleep and a healthy diet and most of the other usual suspects. I still had anxiety attacks which impacted my life and ability to work. I went onto SSRIs and since January did not have a single attack and is now able to perform and live a normal life. I tried many different things before going on the antidepressants, sadly nothing worked. Really happy to be on them. Also, love these videos, especially the surprise ending 😅
What caused those anxiety attacks, typically?
Did you find it harder to stick to those healthy habits since you started SSRIs? I haven't had the motivation to workout in like 2 months but still feel fine. I don't even miss it, I just know I should be working out.
@@napppstar0 SSRI's seem to numb you to negative emotion but with that just emotion in general. So in a way you're just "content" or "fine" with things the way they are, just as you described. That's how I felt on them and didn't like it. I'd definitely talk to your Doctor about lowering dose or switching meds. SSRI's are a miracle for some people and others not so much
SSRIS made me even more miserable tbh mood stablisers work for me
I find it hard to believe people who comment like this on the internet because it's just too unicorn. The truth is, there's a reason we call it a "healthy lifestyle". Most people who have depression have unhealthy habits (as most of us do). Also, it's never good to believe drugs are the end all be all, even if they help and are good, because they rarely solve the root problem. They are a tool, not a solution.
I love how “People on” is becoming the new “Chatting with”
"Chatting with Antidepressants" lolol
We got this
I suggested doing interviews with random people on the street to Andrew, and now he’s doing it!
It is a good idea, just sayyyinggg.
“peoles take” on anti depressents
@@NoTH-camName1 DAMN YOU'RE A GENIUS! NOONE HAS EVER THOUGHT OF SUCH A BRILLIANT IDEA IN ALL OF HUMAN EXISTENCE. SUCH A GOOD IDEA YOU CAME UP WITH I BET ITS GONNA SPREAD EVERYWHERE AND EVERYONE ON TH-camS GONNA STEAL YOU'RE IDEA
Took anti depressants as a teen. Soon found out they weren’t for me. My dad swears they have helped him for years. I think it’s pretty simple. Everybody is different and some things that work for one won’t work for others.
100 different factors is so true though
i feel like most people have been depressed, but the why & the solution is as vast as the ocean
That’s why that “time helps” part is great, sometimes you can’t see what was making you depressed until much later on in retrospect. Like if you had a bad breakup that lingered for months and you didn’t even notice until a year later.
So very true
What the hell was that ending Andrew? 😂Great video! I agree with antidepressants should be a last resort for some people. However, some may already be at their lowest point, with suicide in mind.. people need medicine sometimes and that is okay! Everyone gets sad sometimes, exercise releases feel good hormones or endorphins. Interesting topic!
no, its not okay.
It's always weird to me hearing people who don't have clinical depression talk about it just because of the contrast difference. I've been on various SSRIs for the better part of a decade and I wish it was as simple as "just go be happy and make some friends" to cure clinical depression. However, it is good to hear from so many of the people in this video be friendly towards the stigma shift because it used to be, "You're broken if you need them" and people have more shifted to, "Sometimes it is needed, and some people have issues where it's helpful." I try to be really open about it and talk about it with people because I don't think it's something that people shouldn't be afraid to seek help for. There's a huge amount of stuff to help, and there's no silver bullet. Depression sucks, take it day by day, seek help, and don't be afraid to.
Do you still have problems?
@@youdontexist. I do. Things are better these days as I've made adjustments to help reduce stress and things that seem to put me down the deep end of a depression swing. I'm still on an SSRI, but things are much more manageable these days. I've learned to just take it a day at a time.
@@koihoshi what adjustments if I may ask? Diet? Other habbits? Mind adjustments? How long did it take you?
@@youdontexist. Sure no worries, I don't mind talking about it. Like I said, I think it's important to do so in case others are dealing with it as well. Like I said there's no silver bullet. I saw a psychologist that helped me identify some of the things that would get me into a bit of a depression spiral. I have general anxiety disorder coupled with clinical depression. They tend to sort of feed each other in negative ways. Things that cause anxiety may cause stress, and the stress can trigger feelings of depression and overwhelming swings and before I know it, I end up not wanting to do anything, go out, socialize, to the point that getting out of bed just feels like I'm tied down with weights and doing anything is a struggle. Identifying the things that cause the most anxiety, and learning to identify it when it comes up, and working through those things with solutions such as disputation questions help me calm down before it's an issue.
The SSRI definitely helps the crazy depression I get. And I tried 3 different SSRI medications before I found one that didn't give me wild side effects and is good now. But also making routines that help me trigger myself back into a reward system that puts me in a better state of mind. Sometimes that's just starting the day doing something simple and small that I enjoy, even if it doesn't sound good, even if it feels like an exhausting thing to do. Slowly the more I do it, the easier it gets, and eventually can get myself back into a decent mood. I might start the morning with cleaning up my office space a bit, playing a video game during my lunch hour or going for a drive to clear my head. I also changed my career path as well, though it took me years to do, getting away from a toxic work environment that had caused me a lot of trauma and stress was like a weight off my shoulders.
I've also very seriously, heavily, restricted my time on social media platforms and trimmed the weeds on my feed, so to speak. I allow myself to check in on a few fb groups once a day, stopped subscribing to channels that went down the rabbithole of doom and gloom, and removed people that were really negative in my life. I have also had to do so in real life as well. I also only read news to stay informed, and even check a few websites I found that only offer uplifting and positive news as a bit of eyebleach to remind myself that there's also good in the world.
Like I said, it wasn't any one specific thing, but working through a process of identifying the things that were making it much worse, learning to cope with, identify, and work through things as I see them crop up, and then being as preventative as I can. I still have my days. But things are definitely far better, looking back at years past, and helped me realize that depression wasn't a hopeless void I could not escape from. But it all started with asking for help, seeking it, and working through it day by day.
@@koihoshi do you think you overthink stuff? Often all this negativity is caused by spending too much time thinking about stuff that doesnt exist yet or at all. We constantly create life stories and situations in our heads. By creating these we create problems. Those problems are processed by our subconsciouss which has to solve them. Abandoning social media is big help since you dont have to solve fake problems in your subconsciouss now.
Have you tried meditation? Or any other mental exercise? Simply something that keeps you in present? Focusing on work is also the way. The thing is what happens after work.
Have you tried changing your diet? People still underestimate the effect of food on mental health.
Do you wanna talk about it? I dont want to sound too smart. But I may give you some hints to survive this existence.
interesting encounters sir Andrew
I clicked on the video for the pretty lady.. but this video was way more insightful than I was expecting. I agree 100% with what the people and you said.. You know what you gotta do in life, Be healthy, socialize, follow your dreams, get sleep etc and If those things aren't in check then we shouldnt even consider pills but in some rare cases with chemical imbalance pills are needed.. but thats like 2-5% of the time but nowadays doctors prescribe most people that walk into their office with this shit its disgusting.. We need to bring back community that would do wonders for everyones mental health .. social media is isolating people.
1:52 this girl speaks the truth. It's one of the reasons I've lost trust in medical industry.
And some of the meds go more controlled after addiction studies, then your really screwed.
I would LOVE someone coming up to me and asking me this. For real. I have SO many anecodates and opinions.
Great series.
I like how in these conversations you don't come at them trying to push for any particular view. They feel very genuine. I wish this was the norm.
I liked Cicelia's input.
I was depressed for a long time without knowing it, I had lost interest in taking care of myself, I had a very successful business which I ignored and let fall away to nothing. My depression also caused me to be quite caustic to others, like I tried to lift myself by tearing others down.
It was friendships that eventually pulled me out of it. I went to a friends wedding and met many people who I hadn't met in years, and they all respected me and liked me, as they didn't know the depressed me.
Then I met a girl who really liked me.
Having people around you who like you is so important. When depressed people tend to isolate themselves which just compounds things.
Personally, I don't think drugs are any kind of answer.
I should amend that, I don't think drugs are any kind of solution, they are an answer.
I've gone through many antidepressants and now it finally turns out I'm bipolar and thus the pills don't work.
i was against antidepressant for many many years. then this year i tried two different kind and wish i wouldve started way sooner. ended up on a NRDI similar to ssri
NoFap snapped me out of my depression. It doesn't mean you have to be a monk, it just means you shouldn't be wacking it 3 times a day every day. Keep it to once or twice a week and you'll already do so much better and feel so much better.
If you are severely depressed and still have the sex drive to wack it 3 times a day (without porn) that's pretty good actually.
@@lumpenproletarier9584 Hey, don't tempt me with a good time.
Literally have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow to discuss this, damn. Perfect timing.
Also, that ending was 10/10.
The classic "very nice" brings me back to old days
I'm on lexapro but i'm worried if i get off them i'll just be depressed again. Like, i remember tapering off them, but the week after my head was extremely gloomy. I remember looking at my ceiling and feeling like i was being sucked in to the darkest and most miserable realm imaginable. I do think i should try getting off lexapro again, because my life is a good bit better than it was when i first got on them 4 years ago, but you'd think with all the shit going on in the world, you'd still need it. I'm undecided.
if its working why get off them
@@suugondeezBc then you get erectile dysfunction and find no attraction to women. Not to mention you start feeling numb to everything don’t have feelings after taking Lexapro
Really great format. You're like the late night hosts who have their people do interviews with people on the street but more serious and grounded. There's some comedy, truth and a sense of the reality of the world mixed in.
I’ve been putting off taking antidepressants for 4 and a half years. Oh well there’s always tomorrow.
Great to see you back at it dude, love the new series! Every Wednesday, or every so often I’ll still watch 🤙🏽
The old man started by saying he wasn't on meds and he didn't know anyone on meds and I was like oh this guy's got his shit together. 2 min into his interview he's talking about having been in several psych wards and has "flown the coocoos nest". Just thought it was funny how that transpired lol
Good thumbnail choice broski
It's great to see you getting into your stride with this new form of content. Viewers can clearly see you figuring out what works best and becoming more comfortable.
really it's more of a return to form, he used to do a lot of these types of videos. i'm glad to see them resurging though!
@@valthor9381 I remember the "chatting withs". "People on" and those are both interviews, but they're drastically different in almost every other aspect. Chatting with was one person for an extended period of time with a set and interviewing the singular person about a wide range of topics.. People on is many different people he randomly finds in public and asking about one specific topic. If anything, Andrew merged his old prank format with "chatting with"
Shoutout to everyone being so honest
I'm pleased to see so many people questioning drugs as treatment. I've seen only bad from these drugs. Short term they can pick people up - that's why people do drugs. Long term they suffer psychological and physical damage. Statistic don't back drug use, either. I understand why people turn to drugs, sometimes life is just overwhelming, but the cost is just too high. We need to look out for each other more as a society. No drug can replace a friend.
Bonnie just chilling in the best antidepressant known to man while Andrew is trying to figure it out.
Your interactions with people is very interesting to watch. I enjoy it.
Great video! People i know on psych meds helps reduce their issues for sure, but demons can creep back in and the meds can reduce their vitality or chips away at confidence/motivation … with doctors supervision it can be useful to plan an off-ramp from the meds if the idea of coming off psych drugs gives you new hope and confidence in yourself… most of all don’t judge yourself either way
You should interview Andrew Tate and get his take on antidepressants
i mean, i think we all kinda know what he’s gonna say
He’s a top g and he’s depressed from being bald and annoying.
I imagine he’ll just say I’m a pussy or something
I believe he has already expressed his take on depression and mental health
Nashville articulated the hell out of that segment.
9:38 me too recently felt that there is something that we ignore.
TH-cam straight burying this dude under the algorithm
I learned more from the last 25 seconds of the video more than I did from any of those "people".
Andrew is the best therapist!
I think you talking about this topic helps to remove the stigma around depression. No judgment discussion. ❤
That woman discussing scripture and how the hard times make you more empathetic towards others… man! Agree wholeheartedly. And I’m not even religious!
That was some Bam Margera manic energy there at the end lol. Can’t believe you couldn’t find anyone who was actively prescribed. Granted some of them had good tips, others seemed completely unaware of *real* depression. Def need to get the opinion of people who are actually on them…this just seemed like an outsiders view (aside from psych ward guy, refreshing to hear of recovery post-hospitalization)
Stigma is real man, people don’t wanna admit what they’re taking
Thank you.
I feel like medication shouldn't be your first choice. If you really cannot function, then take it. Also it's worth trying to see how it affects you and make decisions based on that. I am personally a bit biased because I used a stoic approach throughout my life, but I also used some ~natural~ tools that helped me get better. I can also tell you that many of my acquantances who are on medication are still visibly depressed. Would it be worse without medication? Probably. But I think that depression is 30% brain chemistry and 70% your lifestyle and past traumas. Taking medication is easy, turning your life around is hard, but neccesary. If medication can help you do than there's go for it.
Haldol and Risperdal are totally different Classes of meds.
uff! 3:12 ! Its way harder in germany to get anything like that! They do not hand it out libarty.
Loving the consistency 💪
that ending felt like every rant i go on when im alone😂
When were you in nashville? I was over there on the 20th?
1:52 is why you're here. Bonus 1:43
I love this new series, and I have 2 suggestions.
1.) give you own opinions of the topic at the end
2.) while you interview people stay as unbiased as possible, youll get more authentic answers if you dont corral their thoughts with your bias. (i didnt see any bias in this video which is great, but on the climate change video, and more specifically the last girl, it seemed you brought your own opinions of climate change into the discussion that made her possible adjust her opinion for the interview.)
all and all love the new direction for the channel and have enjoyed listening to these!
Just do what makes you feel good and try not to worry about everything else, like baaannniee sitting in the sun :)
Great content
Great follow-up questions. I love this content, keep up the good work!
Thanks !
Andrew: BeeeaanNIIEEE
Bonnie: sigh again? the names bonnie. *rolls eyes*
Love these Andrew keep them up!
Recent studies have shown that depression isn't caused by a chemical imbalance. Alternative therapy such as lifestyle changes can make a huge impact for the better. Get better sleep, eat healthier, get exercise, quit drugs, stop drinking, get a job, get a hobby, lay off social media, quit watching the hub and etc.
So many people do the exact opposite of that advice and still remain clueless as to why they’re depressed. healthy food alone can change your life - you look better, feel better, can do more, etc.
Thanks Andrew. Needed this
There is only one thing that can truly fill the void in any person, and the answer is in the video.
The second girl is a complete keeper... Completely agree with everything she is saying
is that Dom's sister from the fast and furious ? LOL
Nice timing with the 3 hotties walking past .
Just so people know, the guy named Tangerine was saying Haldol and lithium treat depression but that's not true. I'm a psych nurse and those are used usually for treating bipolar and schizophrenia, not major depressive disorder.
The people he gets to interview have actual intellectual answers otay otay
Hey Andrew, this is great content. Love you, k bai
Lexapro saved my life
KEEP IT UP ANDREW HALES WE LOVE YOU
Been on antidepressants for a year now and they have really changed the quality of life I live. I still have my rough days but suicide isn’t “the answer” like it used to be when I was severely depressed. If you think they might help you or somebody I would recommend trying them out at least
im on sertaline
Not ONE person said, yes... the stats say someone is lying.
@2:25 100%
2nd girl had the best answer
No, not everyone knows what they're "supposed to do". For example, I was a very healthy, happy, well-adjusted teenager and then when I moved to university in the city I started having panic attacks and developed anxiety. I'd changed nothing about my lifestyle apart from where I lived and show I lived with. I'd never worked out at a gym in my life and I only played sport in winter (football). So as far as I knew I was doing what I was "supposed to do". Yes, the doctor put me on Effexor as a first resort which is wrong by today's standards. But it did help initially.
Yo what’s up man? hope you’re well. are you living in Nashville now? I’m only a few hours away up in Louisville.. We should collab on something
Damn bro has 3mil subs
Im happy for people who beat depression with diet and exercise. I just hope you all understand this isnt possible for everyone, they may have it severely worse than you. For some, even wanting to attempt to take care of themselves requires medication.
JFC, THANK YOU. I was trying to decide what to comment in response to the sentiment being circulated in this comment section without showing how aggravated it was making me. Some people think that being sad from being socially isolated or because of a loss is all depression is about. There's such a thing as chronic depression, and some people are so far down that medication is imperative for them to get to a point where they can better themselves. I'm one of those people.
I DO think that exercise and proper diet are necessary to feel your best, but as you said, some people are so crippled by depression that they can't even get out of bed. Those people aren't just being lazy, they don't just need to go for a walk, and they don't need religion to get better. They need medication and therapy. People are so quick to believe they know exactly what someone is going through and how to fix it. I'm not trying to be the depression gatekeeper, but there is a huge difference between being sad and being so consumed by depression that all you can think of doing is ending your own life. It's honestly insulting to imply that all those people needed was a good diet and some exercise.
I was skeptical of medication for a long, long time. I tried 4 different classes of antidepressants before I received what I believe to be the proper diagnosis and found medication that actually works for me. It's been a long, tiring road full of people that believed they understood how I felt, and that I could change it if I wanted to. On the off chance that someone in need is reading this comment, I want you to know-
It might seem like you're just not meant to be here or be happy. You might wholeheartedly believe that there's no fixing you, and everything around you might be validating all of your deepest fears and insecurities. It can be a very daunting and discouraging process to find what works for you, but you have to push those thoughts away as much as you can and reach out. Keep reaching out and being as honest as possible until all of your options are literally exhausted. I promise you, you will find something that works before that happens. I believed for 20 years that I was a lost cause, and just when I was planning out my last resort, my current medications took hold and I was able to finally feel some relief. I'm not ecstatic all the time, I don't think I'm capable of anything and everything like I did when I was young. It's not like everything is just magically better, now that I've found what works. But I don't feel totally worthless anymore. I don't focus solely on everything I've done wrong or everything I'm not. You can and will get there, just please don't give up. No one deserves to die in misery by their own hand, and no one's loved ones deserve to have to carry that burden either. Ignore people like the ones in this video that ignorantly try to invalidate your illness. There IS hope for you, but you may never find it if you don't take the steps to get help.
Sorry for the rant, I just felt like the mindset in your comment isn't represented very well in this comment section. I don't want anyone that's suffering to see the title of this video, only to come here and see everyone completely invalidating their struggle.
People who talk the way you do just haven’t tried and don’t care too

If I were in your shoes I’d be sweating balls cuz I just sweat a lot so major respect for keepin it cool. I’m fighting for my life on the toilet.
idk how i feel about antidepressants as an addict,. ssris take like 3-6 weeks to work if im not mistaken. a week or two in i just say fuck it and spiral right back into using. I also feel like ssris dont work after a decade of heavy use. im depressed, so i started using.....now im more depressed and cant stop using, and in order for ssris to work you need to be clean. in my opinion. fm
keep it up Andrew
really liking this format
I'm on Escitalopram (Lexapro)
STOP TAKING THAT. if you take SSRI antidepressants, you might as well just do heroin. they are that bad.
switch to something safe like shrooms or ketamine.
i tried many antidepressants for years and have only since been completely off them for about 5 months now but i feel more like myself than i have in a very very long time. right now im going to university and studying alternative treatment in psychedelic compounds so hopefully clinical trials and research will open up new opportunities for people with treatment resistant disorders
