The fact that they are not required to prescribe exercise, cessation of substances including alcohol and cannabis, and talk therapy or other social connections BEFORE messing with the chemicals in our brains is a major red flag. Thank you for this much needed critique of an out of control scam!
Communities like the Amish exemplify healthy ways to support emotional well-being and avoid neurotoxic drugs. It behooves us to “go retro” and live more traditionally. “The Amish have less than 1% rate of depression and the culture should be studied to see the influences behind this rate (Furman & Bender, 2003). Seligman (1997) found depression among the Amish to be one fifth to one 10th that of mainstream society.
It is interesting that you would cite the Amish since faith is such an integral part of their culture. Not that people of faith cannot have mental health struggles, but I find that those who trust in God tend to have more resilience when life goes sideways.
