Tens of millions of people have been prescribed psychotropic “wonder drugs” for depression.
Pharmaceutical companies marketed Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, drugs like Prozac designed to boost the feel good” chemical serotonin, to treat depression allegedly caused by chemical imbalances.
New research confirms the “chemical balance theory” is a myth.
“In the most comprehensive review of the research on links between depression and serotonin ever carried out, researchers from the UK, Italy and Switzerland looked at 17 major international reviews that had documented the findings from more than 260 studies, involving 300,000 patients,” Daily Mail reports.” Their findings, published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry, undermine the basis for decades of prescribing of the most commonly used antidepressants, Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, or SSRIs.”
“We can safely say that after a vast amount of research conducted over several decades, there is no convincing evidence that depression is caused by serotonin abnormalities,’” contends Professor Joanna Moncrieff, a professor of psychiatry at University College London and a consultant psychiatrist at North East London NHS Foundation Trust.
Tucker Carlson called attention to the side effects caused by SSRIs, including birth defects, sexual dysfunction, infertility and homicidal ideation and the U.S. suicide rate that has increased by 35 percent since the drugs have started being prescribed for depression.

I took Effexor for over two years as a pain control adjunct. The side effects were bizarre.
