    I am a neuroscientist and know all these things in much more detailed and complicated ways. But I have to teach to undergrads from non-science backgrounds and I often find myself not knowing how to convey these ideas without being too much obnoxious. Thankfully in some cases these khan academy videos provide me correct guidelines. It's sad that they stopped the whole process of making these videos.

      Am I paying for what I've done in the past? Don't know why the void keeps getting bigger. I just want to runaway from everything. My job, family, university all are thin threads that keep me from jumping off a cliff. Nitrogen is best but is illegal in my country. Helium cannisters don't come in the sizes I want. If I study medicine or peripheral subjects, I may be able get a lethal dosage. Keep stressing myself out when people trust me, and betray them this is cowardice and utterly disgusting. Ending it all is the only option.

      @@AbuBakar-pz9ro In psychiatry there is a term called " the poop out effect'" meaning that if a patient has been on a certain antidepressant with a positive outcome, at some point it is possible that the medication will seem to not work. This is not tolerance to medication. At this point the psychiatrist will change medication often the new medication targets different neurotransmitters such as switching from Prozac which targets serotonin specifically to Effexor (serotonin and norepinephrine), Wellbutrin (norepinephrine and dopamine') or add an adjunctive medication that can be used in combination with the antidepressant. In more severe treatment resistant cases of depression electroconvulsive therapy may be considered. There other treatment modalities on the horizon such as TMS.

      Well, if you are reading researches on depression, you would know that the heterogeneity of symptoms in depression have led to failure of discovering any consistent bio markers. Basically when he says what you have quoted, you need to emphasize on "consistent" like in any physical illness where one specific abnormalities can be identified, in depression there is no consistent abnormalities. One can have depression with one abnormality and not the other. I hope I'm making sense

    This video was extremely vague. Essentially came down to “the front half of the brain isn’t as active as it should be” and “ monoamine’s might be low for some reason.” Major depressive disorder isn’t an actual disease, it’s a collection of symptoms that can be caused by all different kind of physiological issues. For example, 30 to 50% of people that meet criteria for MDD have unusually high inflammation in the brain and periphery, and many studies over the past 20 to 30 years have shown that inflammation in the brain specifically causes depression in some. This is easily measured by drawing a high sensitivity CRP, a ubiquitous, simple, cheap lab. People with a CRP over 1-3 do NOT do well on SSRIs. They respond better to noradrenergic antidepressants like Wellbutrin and anti-inflammatory or anti-neuro inflammatory interventions, such as Remicade, EPA, or even NSAIDs like celecoxib. Minocycline has also been shown to improve depression in people with inflammatory depression.
    In short, it boggles my mind that there’s all of this research on the cytokine or inflammatory theory of depression, and there’s all of this data showing that you can target care for your patients more effectively by investigating inflammatory markers in their blood, yet none of the physicians I work with seem to care. Once I’m finished with my training I am going to use these concepts and tools to improve patient care. I refuse to simply just prescribe someone an antidepressant before turning over every stone I know of to look for actionable causes.

When some1 gets abused (especially but not limited 2 verbal, mental, emotional, & sexual), it's natural human instinct 2 stand up 4 1's self & fight back. More often than not, the person being abuse, assaulted, bullied, & harassed gets punished 4 displaying "inappropri8 behavior" while defending himself/herself from the abuse, bullying, & harassment committed against him/her by other people. As a result, the person being abused, bullied, & harassed often gets put on psych meds 2 "control" his/her behavior 4 defending himself/himself while being abused, bullied, & harassed by others.

    You use the word “often” when describing meds that help those w depression. Why are you not aware of Irving Kitsch’s work on efficacy of anti-depressants? I would not include the word often when describing the experience of those taking these meds on how helpful they are. The evidence strongly suggests otherwise. Also, the serotonin deficiency theory has been discredited - please be more responsible in your presentations.

    • @OllertonMD
      @OllertonMD 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Steve Stevens im guessing you havent seen the antidepressant meta analysis that came out in 2018? Also, kirsch’s meta analysis did not take into account that perhaps 25% of patoents on SSRIs feel WORSE than placebo. This cancels out a lot of the “umph” from the effect size. One study on duloxetine took this concept into account, and once they removed the fourth of patients that were made WORSE on the med, the positive effect vs placebo as much more pronounced. Also, there has literally never been any study on antidepressants that I am aware of that was simply medication versus placebo. And all these studies patients have doctors appointments every 7 to 14 days for months. Speaking with front desk personnel, nurses showing they care, and physicians all asking you about how the patient is feeling, is all essentially THERAPY. Even without something structured like CBT, all of these positive and nurturing interactions at their many follow up appointments have a robust antidepressant affect. In fact there are studies showing that up 50% of the improvement in depression in both active meds and placebo arms might be able to be attributed to the therapeutic alliance instead of the placebo or antidepressant itself. The reason this is important, is because anti-depressant effects from different interventions are not necessarily additive. All of this strongly suggests that if one was to create a study comparing an antidepressant to placebo with no healthcare interactions or follow up appointments (and instead had the patients fill out surveys or a chat with the investigators over the Internet or something similar) The study would likely show a much more robust affect.
      So in short, the med analysis on antidepressants in 2008 clearly show antidepressants are better than placebo, the fact that up to a fourth of patients actually do worse on antidepressants then on placebo cancels out some of the effect size of the antidepressant for those that actually responded really well, and the therapeutic relationship and informal therapy sessions that study participants have every week or two during the course of a trial is going to be a profound confounder that will lower the effect size of the antidepressant compared to placebo.
      Having said all that, SSRIs are much weaker and poop out much easier than alter antidepressants like monoamine oxidase inhibitor‘s. Overall As a physician I don’t really like them that much. The most unifying theory of depression is Neuroinflammation and patients would likely do better on targeted personalized treatments targeting their inflammation if they happen to have an inflammatory depression then on something like an SSRI, which is a very blunt tool
