[00:00:00]Antidepressants actually increase the likelihood that someone has a suicide attempt.

[00:00:04]>> So, I'm curious do you know of any studies where they did the placebo group, the medical control group the medical group, and then they have a group where the person like had to walk for an hour a day in the sunshine? I mean, we've had >> And how that affected the Hamilton scale, you know, sense of depression for each patient? Yeah, um most studies out there find exercise and even things like psychotherapy to be equivalent to the to the medications as well, sometimes even stronger. But with the clear advantage that they don't have side effects and you're not dependent on medications. And so there's some really powerful non-drug approaches to depression.

[00:00:42]But well, you know, while we're on the topic of antidepressants, here's something else that that most people aren't aware of.

[00:00:48]Antidepressants actually increase the likelihood that someone has a suicide attempt over people that get placebo.

[00:00:55]And there is and and this is something that's crazy that more people should know about because this is on a boxed warning on on on the actual drugs. It says that if you were younger than 25 in the clinical trial research, you were more likely to have a suicide attempt on the drugs than not. And so it's like you are lowering like the depressive symptoms, but at the same time you're making that group more suicidal. To me, it is madness that we give these drugs to children, teens, and young adults.

[00:01:25]That is insane.
