Avoid Antidepressants

Many of us have heard of the dangers of using antidepressants. Often they have a paradoxical side effect which can cause suicidal thoughts in users. I ask if they are even necessary. Recent studies suggest that they may not be.

We've all seen the copious number of youngsters on antidepressants. But psycho-science has led to a new and possibly more effective cure. MBCT Mindfullness based cognitive therapy, which identifies unhealthy thought processes and helps one address and correct them, is a new treatment replacing antidepressants. It has shown to be more effective than antidepressants especially in preventing a relapse.
