What it would mean if depression is proven to be a vital defense mechanism

Imagine if the mental health communities the world over suddenly announced that humans need to be able to become depressed, and that our life actually depends on this ability and that it is inherent.  What would the initial shock be like to the millions of people currently diagnosed with a “mental illness’, and who are taking medication and for no apparent reason?  The news would come as a mixed blessing as it would mean that they do not have to take their medication any longer, however on the other hand, it would mean that they would have to stop talking their meds of which they have become dependent.

Some people (and I personally know a few) have been on medication for over ten years, and some for twenty years or more.  For these people, the news would come as such and fill them with many mixed feelings.  Some would be happy to know that they can stop taking their medication and some will be angry with the mental health communities for one reason or another.   Regardless it would be a very emotional day for all of humanity and a day that would not be forgotten.

There would be a danger of people immediately tossing out their medication, this would be very serious, and it would be the wrong thing for them to do.  This would leave them open to even worse depression as their mind and body demands the medication from years of dependency.  In this light, the announcement would have to come with a warning for people to continue taking their medication until consulting their doctors to assist them in the slow process of becoming free from mind-body dependency of such medications.

What medications are used to treat depression?

Depression is commonly treated with antidepressant medications. Antidepressants work to balance some of the natural chemicals in our brains. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters, and they affect our mood and emotional responses. Antidepressants work on neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.

The most popular types of antidepressants are called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These include:

• Fluoxetine (Prozac)
• Citalopram (Celexa)
• Sertraline (Zoloft)
• Paroxetine (Paxil)
• Escitalopram (Lexapro).

What would you say are some of the positive and some negative after effects would be in the event that this theory proves true that we need the inherent ability to become depressed to save our lives?

Would you personally be happy or terrified by such an announcement?

A Special Christmas Announcement and a Plea to the Humanity Within All

I have formulated a theory of emotional equilibrium that is proving to be something many have said is very easy to agree with, and it is that; depression is an inherent defense mechanism against emotional-physical exhaustion.   I have been a researcher for nearly a quarter century and have formulated many theories that connect to make up an informal -grand theory of cognition.  To get this theory to the next level and into the mainstream media has been a difficult thing for me to accomplish as it is that I have only a grade eight education with no university training or college degrees’ to support my claims.

I did manage to conduct an informal study that lasted two years, and what I realized will astound and amaze even the seasoned neurobiologist.

There appears to be something in the “language” of this theory that causes a person to recover from many forms of mental emotional illnesses like depression, anxiety, and bi-polar syndrome.   The most amazing and profound element to this work is that subsequent to recovering from these alleged “mental illnesses” something completely disturbing occurs.

Sings and symptoms that mimic a urinary tract infection (UTI) with no significant growth in culture becomes evident where there is frequent urination, a foul odor in the urine and pressure in the lower abdomen.  It gets even better, after the signs and symptoms have ceased there is the feeling of well-being that lasts.

I did record this, and have it documented and have the permission of the eight participants to disclose their real names.  I am confidant the results can be-duplicated in clinical testing.  The main problems I am having at present is;  as I do not have any degrees’ nor am I an accredited writer (although I have written a book as an introduction into my work), is that of the absurd sounding of it.  I realize only too well that it is this that is preventing me from being taken seriously by those whom can assist me in taking it to the next level.

Can you help me please?  There is “no” cure for depression because humans need the “ability” to depress whenever the mind and the body require it.  I cannot help but to believe it is a simple matter of educating the public to the point where we can, understand, appreciate, and embrace the fact that we have such an amazing defense mechanism as depression.

Depression is an inherent defense mechanism against emotional-physical exhaustion

To begin this blog entry, I will repeat the title and say depression is an inherent defense mechanism against emotional-physical exhaustion, and add that it is caused-by unnatural stressors as a result of manmade systems-which, are the main causes of the “anxieties of life”.  Depression is not a mental illness.  Depression is not something that we should be trying to cure.  When people ask me to explain this more, I  say, because we need to become depressed, and if humans could not depress, just imagine the consequences.  What we “need” is to understand depression to the point where we no longer fear it, but are able to appreciate even embrace it.  Someone else might ask me about why the mental health communities are not aware of this already.  I would have to say that they may be aware of it and if not then they are not aware of it because of the fact that all of us, including those whom are at the top of education, science, politics and religion have been educated within the “rote learning system” for over a hundred years.  Saying this and seeing the truth of it is to know that many if not most of the people whom we look up to for guidance, protection and care, do not have much ability to think for themselves as much as a person who was accustomed to “autonomous learning”.

Scholastic learning and polemic divinity retarded the growth of all true knowledge

David Hume

I do not have any degrees to back up the claims that I make in my theory, and this is a shame because if I did, this research and theory would be on the front pages of all the newspapers worldwide.  The research and theory that I am referring to is, Theory of Bio-psychodynamics.  It is my research and my theory that I formulated after researching and studying the human condition for over twenty years.  If you want to learn about this breakthrough research, please ask me and I will direct you to where you can read more about it.

For this blog entry, I just want to vent a bit and see who is listening.  I am sure there are many ordinary people like me who never had the money or the grey matter to satisfy the demands of the universities to receive a degree in this or that field.  We are the “late bloomers”, our intelligence was stalled by rote learning systems because we are creative people with a mind of our own who desire to learn in a more hands on approach as opposed to memory and tests.   We are the ones’ who came from large families that never had the finances to send us to university so we had to leave school and work for a living at a young age.

Academia tossed us out because they could not control us, and now they seek to control our children by labeling them with “learning disability”.   Just because they are not suited for rote learning, and may really be creative thinkers, is no reason to simply say they have a learning disability.  This is madness and is insanity, and those whom are diagnosing our children and prescribing such adverse medications that can alter their neurobiology forever may be the ones’ who need it most.

What some are calling mental illness begins early in the life of all children.  Introduced to rote learning at the age of around five and faced with separation anxiety at the earliest age possible.  Children have no control over how they learn, and this is an infringement on their rights, and could be in fact, a crime against humanity as a whole, as it is true to paraphrase David Hume and say that rote learning is still retarding the growth of all true knowledge.

As people (especially children) battle every day with emotional difficulties, and mainly out of merely not knowing about such truths as what this lay research and theory has uncovered. I often wonder what the people at the top of the mental health communities think about as they jump into their new cars to go home to a warm home and a safe environment. Do they merely put it out of their minds or are they consumed with guilt. One good indicator as to which is true is that the field of psychiatry and psychology have been rated at one time to be among the highest in suicides.

Is depression an inherent defence mechanism to stop us from burning out completely and dying from exhaustion?  I believe it is and theory of Bio=psychodynamics suggests it theoretically, and I have proven it in a two-year informal study.  The only reason my study can be said that it was informal is because I do not hold any degrees’, a piece of paper is what is preventing you and your loved ones from knowing the truth about depression.  What are you going to do about it?

I would love to hear from anyone who can agree with this.
