It's so ridiculous when you also consider that for a lot of people, the antidepressants don't even help their depression. So now they still have depression but with a bunch of antidepressant side effects also.
@@einienj3281 , the “side effects,” of antidepressants include suicidal ideation and behavior. This is what’s more prevalent - few people are helped by them. Also think about the fact that the physicians’s drug desk reference is NOT written by physicians and scientists - but by the same pharmaceutical companies. Look it up.
@@einienj3281 Good thing the OP didn't say anything at all about "making you happy." They said that they don't even help with their depression, which for millions and millions of people they don't.
For anyone considering stopping medication, in addition to talking to your doctor and researching how to wean off the med I would also highly suggest telling several of the people closest to you so they can check in and monitor you. If the original depression symptoms return, you may find yourself down a dark well and unable to ask for help
If people were not so stigmatized by society still with such things and could talk to each other without someone's face going blank as they look away and ignore their friends/families, this would not be an issue. I devote an entire category on Suicide and Mental Health, and it gets ignored just as much as the source material. I HAD a 'friend' who always looked away and ignore or interrupted me when I tried to talk about deaths or other key issues going on in life, and all he could do was make some smart comment like "Yes, your brother is still dead" as in "big deal, I want to get drunk and fantasize about the waitresses, not listen to or help you, my friend, who's always listened to and tried to help me!" So, now he's gone, his kid is in jail, and his wife may leave him...but don't bother me anymore!! Good riddance (he loves Trump, too, of course, the epitome of selfishness in America)!
As someone who grew up rural doing stuff with my hands (like digging post holes, shovelling animal poop, etc.), I suspect that some depression & some other mental conditions might be worsened by lack of sufficiently physical work. If people can participate in meaningful physical work a few hours a week, it could boost physical as well as mental well-being, imho.
There is something in the UK called Green Gym which is a programme for volunteers to do conservation work and get outdoors and exercise as well. I don't know if they still have NHS referrals but when I was with them, a lot of my group were referred due to depression, anxiety, amnesia and other mental health issues.
I absolutely need to do 3 hours a day of physical activity (walking is fine) for sleep and sanity. It never occurred to me that it has to be meaningful. I will test that against my experience.
I developed vertigo and tinnitus when I got on antidepressants. I’m glad I found the correlation and it was more painful to live day to day with this constant ringing in my head than to have sad thoughts.
If coming off antidepressants, the general rule of thumb is to add up the time you have taken any antidepressant, and divide that time in half to know how long you should take to wean off while working to rebuild your ability to metabolize serotonin. If you have taken 5 years or longer, a 1 - 1.5 year taper for every 5 years on. "Time" being the focus. HOWEVER, people tapering can't know how their nervous system will respond to a decrease in medication until they try it. Each person's different and some can go faster than others. It is advised to taper no more than 2% - 10% every 2-4 week's which is a conservative, harm reduction approach. This is EXTREMELY important. Many times, withdrawal is delayed so you may be doing large cuts and feel great, actually better than ever but just be blindsided with severe, debilitating withdrawal weeks or months later and at that point it's often too late to reinstate so it's a waiting game. Please be aware most doctors follow old tapering guidelines and the majority going through withdrawal did follow their doctors tapering advice. Most doctors and pharmacists are clueless about tapering off these drug's.
Everyone is different, medication works well for some and not for others. A GP appointment is only about 5 minutes long and that's not long enough for you to describe your symptoms and issues, the doctor to decide what to give you, and go over all the potential side effects. We need more GPs and longer appointments, not just because of this problem but it would help with other problems from having such a short amout of time with a doctor. Antidepressants saved my life and I know about 10 others who have told me the same thing. Side effects can be truely horrible for some, but for most they are either non existent or not serious. A major problem is also getting an appointment to see a therapist/psychologist/psychiatrist it's been incredibly difficult to get an appointment with one of them on the NHS for many years now. Unless you're suicidal it's very hard to see one, and even then, it's not easy. People need therapy to learn good coping skills etc, so they don't get to the stage where they become suicidal. If people had therapy some would be more willing and able to come off their medication too, but there's little to no support, 5 minutes with a GP and medication is not going to help enough
numbness in the groin could be a neurological issue, his doctor should have escalated his case to a neurologist for a full CNS MRI. Neurological autoimmune disorders also have the effect of making people depressed!
the worst side effect i suffered from antidepressants was not sexual dyfunction but taste impairment.i would lose upto 60 percent of my tasting ability

Before I found something that helps me, I tried 3 antidepressants, my mental health went way worse.. now I'm existing, I can function, but I still don't have any motivation, none, I have to pretend.. but it's better than being completely dead, I guess.. I can still work on myself to get better, if I didn't take the meds, I wouldn't be here 100%
Depression is awful, it ruins relationships, families and your left all alone and feeling misunderstood. However, anti depressants do work. Depending if you take it properly. A lot of people I know take anti depressants and also self medicate with hard drugs and alcohol. This is very common. In my opinion, Depression is a state of mind. If you want to overcome Depression you must also look at your behaviours, diet, and the people you hang around with. I am no expert but in my experience I was the most Depressed and sometimes suicidal when I was living life people pleasing and suppressing all the hurt and pain people caused me. I now no longer just exist. I live life on my terms and don't care what people say. It's amazing. Try it. EVERY ONE DESERVES HAPPINESS
I always used the common sense - even during the darkest periods of my life I never ever considered going to a doctor to talk about it, let alone thinking on trying those meds.
I take antidepressants for my epilepsy. Don't have much choice. It took almost 20 years to find the right one for my body. Sometimes I don't think i have side effects, other times I question my memory and the fact that I feel excited, and sad(but never intensely so)... it's hard to say what comes from the meds and what comes from seizure and concussion, it's annoying but much better than falling down, blacking out and biting the tounge all the time.
I treated my SSD with sativa based THC+CBD (Cannabis), constant dosage is not required. This is either not known or ignored by medical professionals and governments. Medical professional have never inquired into my side effects of the drugs they have prescribed me. I have told them about Sativa (Also improves mood, sleeping and emotions)... and they literately just go quiet and try and change the subject.
Has anyone here started struggling with an overactive bladder as a result of taking anti-depressants? I took sertraline for two months each in 2020 and 2021. If I can remember correctly my urinary frequency increased. In February 2022, I took Tretol (another brand for sertraline) for only two days and it wreaked havoc on my body. I didn't get an overactive bladder immediately but I got other side effects like clenched jaws, drowsiness, weird stool issues etc. I stopped taking the medicine immediatelty but about 10 days later I had my first urinary urgency which led to leaking myself. I've suffered with a relatively overactive bladder and latchkey (bathroom door) incontinence since then and I'm struggling to find a cause other than the antidepressant. But I've been told that two days is too small a time to cause such a massive change.
Definitely!! It is a very common side effect, but I don't think it is universal, since antidepressants differ greatly. I know for a fact that escitalopram causes that! The pattern reminds me of bladder infection - you need to go often, the urge is irresistible but the amount is negligible, sometimes just a few drops!
Finally went to a doctor after several suicidal episodes and hitting rock bottom. Within an 8 minute window of meeting a doc who had no idea about what I was going through (and who really couldn't be bothered asking any questions), I'd been prescribed antidepressants and was sent home. I was told NOTHING about side effects, how long I'd have to be on them, etc, and at the time felt like I was too rushed to ask. I couldn't think straight, but as soon as I got home I was thinking "surely that's a bit dodgy...". Tbh for severe depression and anxiety (which I think I have, although a diagnosis would have been nice) maybe pills are the only way. But to not be given any other option whatsoever and just put straight on drugs is, in my opinion,, appalling. I'm scared to take them but have no other options at this point.

AD’s have an effect very similar to cannabis, the difference is cannabis and other illegal drugs give a near instant effect whereas AD’s take hours to half a day to effect and similar to ware off.
Everyone has their own story. Meds saved my life. Went from loafer over burden with emotions to returning to school for my master's in social work. Everyone else I know feels negatively about meds so their was stigma to fight
Ok, good video raising awareness for this stuff, always good to remind people any medication will have side effect. Next, FIX THE AUDIO! It keeps switching from left to right channel.
No, people just tend to get married without really considering what kind of commitment it takes to stay married. And then get divorced over fixable problems or out of selfishness (like wanting to f*around or not wanting to compromise in any way at all). Erectile disfunction is not at all as common as this video wants to make it out. It happens. But with dose adjustment it also goes away in most cases. And not all people have this issue. Or any... and if someone divorces you for not being able to perform temporarly due to sickness, that person doesn't want to be with you period...
Getting off ssris are horrible. There is a massive information gap between starting antidepressants and the difficulty of coming off them is ridiculous
Yes absolutely!! My mother was born n 1946 and she began early with depression,now it's me and my 20 yr old daughter which is now also suffering from Insomnia & depression . . Any ideas??? I would really like to help break this BS cycle! ! Before my 3gsons get much older. . I will take a Quatamine for insomnia but that treats BIPOLAR. And I'm not that! But the w/d is stronger than anything I've ever batteled
I have croniac permanent high stress disorder. The best thing before starting meds is get an appointment with s therapist and start sessions.its a lot easier to deal with any problem at its start. If you leave it ,it will worsen, and you eill have to take meds,even for life. You are not crazy. Maybe s little more sensitive. Like all deceases, you have to fight.
When I was depressed, I had no sex drive at all and was stuck in bed 9 months fading away. so took antidepressents and they did help and maybe saved my life, if in a state of depression and your life in danger there are a life line :)
I was some that had side effects of increased suicidal thoughts, stomach pains, hair loss, Weight loss. Threw them out and smoked weed fell much better.

@@M_SC And I know many who aren't dangerous behind the wheel.. depression is like a national health issue in my country, probably more than half of us are or have been depressed and taken meds for it.. people with wrong meds or wrong doze are dangerous, the rest of us are "normal"..
Very happy this is finally being spoken about, many years ago, we were told as kids that it didn't exist, that was very false and stupid way of thinking, I am not a huge fan of taking pills but they are so many options for mental health, I believe each person must decide what is best for them even if it means taking medication ❤and ✨️
If my depression gets to an acute level, I just call it a day (write off the entire day, bit like how insurers write off debts lool)... I think I walked out on four jobs in the last 7 years. It is a lot more manageable and nearly got on top of it. Apparently Creatine provide just as much relief as AD description (i'm not a doctor!).
Have you been taking medication for it? I'm at the point where I'll have to quit my job, because I just cannot mentally be there for it. I can't even leave the house atm. Got meds but am super depressed now about having to find another job. It feels so hopeless and I'm scared I'll just lose every job I can get
I prayerfully stopped my ssri cold turkey & I was perfectly fine for about 5 weeks until I was suddenly overcome with a sickness: dizziness, diarrhea, severe headache, tiredness. I was on vacation when this happened, so I pretty much just slept the entire time. When I got home, i looked into ssri withdrawals & lo’ & behold, I had what’s called delayed ssri withdrawal symptom. I had to start taking my medicine a little bit again. I am now having to take half (50mg) once every few weeks when the diarrhea/dizziness hits again. I believe the Lord is coming soon soon, so this is something I can live with until then. ❤ otherwise, I would go back to the doctor & get a smaller dosage to taper off properly. If you don’t know Jesus, it’s time to get to know Him because this is the year of the pretribulation rapture. ❤
Taking a pill for depression that has a warning about side effect "may cause suicidal ideation"!!! plus when you come off them, the withdrawal side effect can be a return of symptoms.. so you think you still need them.. how about treating the reasons for the depression!
Exactly! Read the Quran…It helps a person SLOWLY get out of depression! Surah 4, verse 135…Basically…Own up to MISTAKES! Just SAY IT! And if you see something WRONG…Speak out!
Depressed? …Severely???…Read the Quran..Surah 4, verse 135…..Basically OWN UP TO WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!! And IF YOU SEE SOMETHING WRONG…SPEAK UP!…End of! Just BE GOOD. Simples.

@@S4L665-OnelessthantheDevil Why go away? Can't you admit to yourself you were wrong, and now tens of thousands of people are dead, and you want to ignore that fact. You sad excuse for a human being.
@@S4L665-OnelessthantheDevil do you really think we are ever going to let you forget it? At Some point you, and the likes of the BBC, are going to have to admit what you were all responsible for.
AD’s have an effect very similar to cannabis, the difference is cannabis and other illegal drugs give a near instant effect whereas AD’s take hours to half a day to effect and similar to ware off.
Right channel audio is almost dead. So weird with earphones.
Everyone has their own story. Meds saved my life. Went from loafer over burden with emotions to returning to school for my master's in social work. Everyone else I know feels negatively about meds so their was stigma to fight
thank you for doing this reporting! 🙋❤️
Ok, good video raising awareness for this stuff, always good to remind people any medication will have side effect.
Next, FIX THE AUDIO! It keeps switching from left to right channel.
does it cause me to hear somethings only on one ear, then only on the other?!
I risked my life so I could see the truth. And now that I have I see that life is worth living. I had to bet it all on my recovery.😪
It’d be interesting to know what dose these people are on. For sertraline for example you can be on as little as 50mg, and as much as 200mg.
Is there a connection between the side effects of these drugs and high divorce rates in the western world?
No, people just tend to get married without really considering what kind of commitment it takes to stay married. And then get divorced over fixable problems or out of selfishness (like wanting to f*around or not wanting to compromise in any way at all). Erectile disfunction is not at all as common as this video wants to make it out. It happens. But with dose adjustment it also goes away in most cases. And not all people have this issue. Or any... and if someone divorces you for not being able to perform temporarly due to sickness, that person doesn't want to be with you period...
Yes
Dear BBC WE want documentry about KOHINOOR AND COLONIAL LOOT
CLASS DIFFERANCE IN LONDON PARLIAMENT
AGE OLD MONARCHY
Please provide this documentries
HELL YES :D
Getting off ssris are horrible. There is a massive information gap between starting antidepressants and the difficulty of coming off them is ridiculous
The loud background music stresses me out.
Yes absolutely!! My mother was born n 1946 and she began early with depression,now it's me and my 20 yr old daughter which is now also suffering from Insomnia & depression . . Any ideas??? I would really like to help break this BS cycle! ! Before my 3gsons get much older. . I will take a Quatamine for insomnia but that treats BIPOLAR. And I'm not that! But the w/d is stronger than anything I've ever batteled
Check your ferritin. It has to be 100 optimal.
Then take Profferin.
I have croniac permanent high stress disorder.
The best thing before starting meds is get an appointment with s therapist and start sessions.its a lot easier to deal with any problem at its start.
If you leave it ,it will worsen, and you eill have to take meds,even for life.
You are not crazy.
Maybe s little more sensitive.
Like all deceases, you have to fight.
When I was depressed, I had no sex drive at all and was stuck in bed 9 months fading away. so took antidepressents and they did help and maybe saved my life, if in a state of depression and your life in danger there are a life line :)
I was some that had side effects of increased suicidal thoughts, stomach pains, hair loss, Weight loss.
Threw them out and smoked weed fell much better.
Ditto!
Johann Hari's book on antidepressants. Enlightening.
is the audio of this video meant to induce mental illness?
Great video, the topic is really relevant, the only thing is the narrator's accent, which is great and I absolutely love it, but at times, to me, as a foreigner, it was a bit hard to understand it, and the subtitles made me laugh few times, however, you're doing a great job, thank you!
Psychedelics time , hopefully people get help , as clinical research will improve
what happened to the audio guy
Is it my Ear or the anti-depressants that is making the sound of this video so weird to focus on!
I was in mental hospital when I was 18 they gave me medication I said penile dysfun tion they said I still had to take it ..I was amazed they had that view ... a diffrent time in hospital I told then it gave me penile dysfunction 2 workers separately said I didn't need one
Citalopram can lead to extreme low sodium in body leading to collapse and injury in the fall - higher risk in elderly and people on diuretics this one is not talked about enough
0:49: 🧠 The mental health survey reveals that one in four 17 to 19 year olds in the UK have a probable mental health condition, leading to a discussion on the use of antidepressants and the lack of information provided by GPs.
3:48: ❗ Antidepressants can have significant side effects on sexual health, including delayed ejaculation and genital numbness.
6:48: 😔 Many people suffer from post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD) after taking antidepressants, with limited support available.
10:05: ! The speaker reflects on the side effects of a medication they have been taking for a long time and expresses a desire to find out more about its effects.
Recap by Tammy AI
Sound quality is soo poor
Doctors must tell the patient about all side effects this should be criminal offences on doctors to not let there patient know about horrible life changing side effects it’s so cruel
the bcc action line? where?
Everyone is different. Fluoxetine changed my life for the better, hugely
they cause breast and lactating breat growth in males, as well as Sleep Apnea (stop breathing at night), Dyspnea, Anoxia, Hyperplasia (pre cancer) along with full cancer, increased Glycosaminoglycans on a cellular or molecular level when it get bad look up Muccosopolysaccaridosus, more likeky to catch infections, many of the worst car accidents caused by people on them, the also increase violence, homicidality, suicidality, much illogical violence is caused by people on them. etc etc there is a conspiracy of sabotage pointing towards the Alps?
Most ridicilous is that side effect is depression. 😄 Having depression over depression equals suicide.
It dulls people’s reflexes, they become dangerous drivers. They have no ability to be self aware of this and get enraged when you point it out rather than making a rational decision.
Only if you have wrong meds.. My reaction time hasn't been affected. My will to die was a lot more dangerous thing behind the wheel tbh..
@@einienj3281 either way there’s the option to not drive and not endanger others, it’s only dangerous for selfish people.
you’re still making it about you. I know too many about whom it’s true.
@@M_SC And I know many who aren't dangerous behind the wheel.. depression is like a national health issue in my country, probably more than half of us are or have been depressed and taken meds for it.. people with wrong meds or wrong doze are dangerous, the rest of us are "normal"..
They're a crappy medicine.
Trazadone gave me pots
Very happy this is finally being spoken about, many years ago, we were told as kids that it didn't exist, that was very false and stupid way of thinking, I am not a huge fan of taking pills but they are so many options for mental health, I believe each person must decide what is best for them even if it means taking medication ❤and ✨️
They're too sensitive these days... 1:46
question is are the English sabotaging ruthlessky the English, or is it the Swiss or another group?
No one is safe.
Ssris work well until they don't, at that point do the benefits of increasing the dose outweigh the side effects, for me it didn't.
If my depression gets to an acute level, I just call it a day (write off the entire day, bit like how insurers write off debts lool)... I think I walked out on four jobs in the last 7 years. It is a lot more manageable and nearly got on top of it. Apparently Creatine provide just as much relief as AD description (i'm not a doctor!).
Have you been taking medication for it? I'm at the point where I'll have to quit my job, because I just cannot mentally be there for it. I can't even leave the house atm. Got meds but am super depressed now about having to find another job. It feels so hopeless and I'm scared I'll just lose every job I can get
There is so much stupidity in this society because instead of helping people to be wise, we give them antidepressants which are toxic for our health.
I prayerfully stopped my ssri cold turkey & I was perfectly fine for about 5 weeks until I was suddenly overcome with a sickness: dizziness, diarrhea, severe headache, tiredness. I was on vacation when this happened, so I pretty much just slept the entire time. When I got home, i looked into ssri withdrawals & lo’ & behold, I had what’s called delayed ssri withdrawal symptom. I had to start taking my medicine a little bit again. I am now having to take half (50mg) once every few weeks when the diarrhea/dizziness hits again. I believe the Lord is coming soon soon, so this is something I can live with until then. ❤ otherwise, I would go back to the doctor & get a smaller dosage to taper off properly. If you don’t know Jesus, it’s time to get to know Him because this is the year of the pretribulation rapture. ❤
Always try to find the ways to eternity 💖
DONT DO THEM!
Exercise elimates depression
the audio is a bit off putting
Taking a pill for depression that has a warning about side effect "may cause suicidal ideation"!!! plus when you come off them, the withdrawal side effect can be a return of symptoms.. so you think you still need them.. how about treating the reasons for the depression!
Exactly! Read the Quran…It helps a person SLOWLY get out of depression! Surah 4, verse 135…Basically…Own up to MISTAKES! Just SAY IT! And if you see something WRONG…Speak out!
Depressed? …Severely???…Read the Quran..Surah 4, verse 135…..Basically OWN UP TO WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!! And IF YOU SEE SOMETHING WRONG…SPEAK UP!…End of! Just BE GOOD. Simples.
3:33 lol😂
The audio is horrible bruh
"Action Line" my azz! Where's the link? What help do they offer, trying to put you in a hospital or rehab? That's not really help, just PR and Marketing.
why are GPs prescribing psychiatric medications???
Biofilm infection were being medicak upcoded and gaslighted to a depression diagnosis
How could anyone get "depressed" if they lived in a town like Chillingbourne.
L R L R L R audio was all over the place
The UK’s NHS has found that meditation is just effective as antidepressants without the side affects.
Co-vaccination - can we break the taboo and talk about the strokes, myocarditis, miscarriage and excess deaths?
