Check out the National Institute of Mental Health’s website and you’ll find an astounding fact: 30 million Americans took anti-depressants at a cost of 10 billion dollars in 2009.  Pharmaceutical companies overall sales for 2009 included 14.6 billion for psychotropic (mind altering) drugs and $4.8 billion for ADHD drugs. 

Here’s some facts-

1). Anti-depressants/psychotropics are only marginally more effective in symptomatic treatment than placebo’s – yet placebo’s do not create serious, multiple side-effects some worse than the original complaint.

2). There are no biochemical markers for stress or depression.  The tools MD’s use to diagnose stress, anxiety and depression are based upon symptoms alone.

3). The medical profession is lobbied by the pharmaceutical companies as to what drug is to be used for what symptom.

4). Stress, anxiety and depression are not caused by “chemical imbalances” rather they are an effect of unresolved conflicts and negative thought patterns, repeated over years.

5). Side effects of Anti-depressants- suicidal tendencies, bone loss, lower life expectancies, birth defects, sexual dysfunction, gastric upset, insomnia, nervousness and mental impatience.

How did a country known for it’s self confidence, self reliance and courage become a nation of lack/victim based sheep?  Who do not discern and question the never ending commercial drugging of symptomatology, as opposed to solving the conflict through our 6 essential choices and habits?

What we accomplish at our clinic, for those who are willing to face, feel, deal, and release, is true healing from the inside out.
