An Honest Experience With Psychiatry, the Mental Health Industry and SSRIs
By SandNiggerKANG
By SandNiggerKANG
Overview
The mental health industry and all the shilling to “seek help” has always struck me as misleading. After hearing dozens of anecdotes, horror stories and seeing clear examples of deception, mistreatment, misinformation and abuse of authority, I can only conclude that this entire industry isn’t as helpful and effective it is often portrayed to be. Of course it’s a common jab for normies to say “Seek help”, “Consider therapy” and “Take your meds” but usually it’s just a passive aggressive insult. Implicitly, it shows contempt and disgust for maladaptive people. The same sort of people that caused his “maladaptive” behaviours through things like bullying, outcasting and rejection. Of course there’s a root to everything.The mental health industry’s core assumption is that the individual is defective. This is a half truth. 99% of people’s “mental illness” is due to shitty people, ruthless systems and being stuck in lose-lose situations but of course this is not addressed. So the individual is brainwashed, medicated and mind controlled in a way to conform to the greater system called society without causing problems and disruption. And as we know from the blackpill, society and the world itself is a very fucked up place. Mind you, the treatments aren’t designed to make you happy. They’re designed to make you functional on the bare minimum level to be another mindless cog in the machine.
We will go into a deep dive of everything.
Misinformation About Medication, Forced Detainment and Coercion
There is a giant push for medication. Why should this scare you? Because it has many side effects that would be crippling, leaving you a shell of your former self. Increasing serotonin by slowing down the way it gets absorbed leads to bad adverse effects. These include depersonalization, derealization, memory loss, cognitive impairment, sexual dysfunction (PSSD, could be permanent), impaired judgement, severe emotional numbness and ahedonia (the inability to feel pleasure) Everything that you were told about SSRIs is basically a lie. Its mechanism of action is to basically disable your mind from thinking and to disable your ability to feel. SSRIs basically reduce dopamine transmission as well. And believe me, being stuck in lifeless, low dopamine states would actually cause suicides because of its effects. Ironically it takes all the enjoyment and magic out of life, therefore causing depression, lack of drive, sexual dysfunction, emotional numbness and ahedonia. Prescribing “antidepressant” pills that actually cause depression? This is a very big psy-op.Increasing serotonin also increases cortisol. And SSRIs increase serotonin a fuckton. This is of course bad for your brain and body. You know, MKultra experiments on psychiatric patients was basically about breaking a person’s mind by torturing them. SSRIs basically emulate that same cortisol and adrenaline increase. And of course that’s not good because it can lead to manic and psychotic states where you’re not really in control of what you’re doing. Breaking a person’s mind like this, whether chemically or physically, makes them more suggestible and manipulatable. It’s a hypnotism of sorts. SSRIs induce a sort of blanked mind state. Even when you purposely try to think, it gets shut down and your mind gets blanked again and again.
Here’s a couple of excerpts from an article of Mkultra brainwashing experiments:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/03/montreal-brainwashing-allan-memorial-institute
“In 1957, this interest brought the agency north of the border, where a Scottish-born psychiatrist, Ewen Cameron, was trying to discover whether doctors could erase a person’s mind and instill new patterns of behaviour.” (Brainwashing)
“What they attempt to do is erase your emotions. They strip you of your soul.”
“After three months at the institution, her mother returned home. The treatments had taken a toll on her memory and left her riddled with nervousness and anxiety. “She wasn’t able to talk to me about life and regular stuff. She wasn’t able to joke and laugh,” said Steel.”
“Years later, Johnson found out that the experiments had wreaked havoc on Orlikow’s brain; it could take her three weeks to read a newspaper, months to write a letter, and years to read a book.”
“After reducing them to a childlike state”
SSRIs are essentially the results of Mkultra experiments compressed into pills. The cortisol spiking, memory loss, cognitive impairment, emotional numbness etc.
Isn’t it also funny how SSRIs turn the mind into a juvenile state? (basically an ignorant, childlike state)? This is exactly why you get memory loss, cognitive impairment, lowered inhibition, destroyed empathy and morals. It basically regresses your mind. Lol. Literal bluepill. It’s “neuroplasticity” is done by basically destroying your existing connections in the brain. Wiping out your personality, thoughts, ego etc.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6174980/
https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2012.00117/full
“Contrary to a widely held belief in psychiatry, studies that purport to show that antidepressants promote neurogenesis are flawed because they all use a method that cannot, by itself, distinguish between neurogenesis and neuronal death. In fact, antidepressants cause neuronal damage and mature neurons to revert to an immature state, both of which may explain why antidepressants also cause neurons to undergo apoptosis (programmed death). Antidepressants can also cause developmental problems, they have adverse effects on sexual and romantic life, and they increase the risk of hyponatremia (low sodium in the blood plasma), bleeding, stroke, and death in the elderly.”
Literal brain drain drugs LOL. All those memories, character building and your personality and ego, all gone due to “treatment”. Talking of very stressful and traumatising moments, like falling off a cliff at rapid speed, the memories associated with these moments get suppressed. Much like how SSRIs suppress memories. And even people report feeling like a detached observer in these moments. Much like how SSRIs induce depersonalization and derealization. Mind you, the cortisol speeds up ageing.
https://www.optimallivingdynamics.c...ive-function-foods-nutrients-herbs-supp-lz9a2
Sound familiar?Chronically high cortisol levels can:
Change the size, structure and functioning of your brain;
Shrink and kill brain cells;
Cause premature aging in the brain;
Contribute to memory loss and lack of concentration;
Slow down our ability to grow new brain cells; and
Increase inflammation in the brain (135-140).
In electroconvulsive therapy, this also increases cortisol a fuck ton. Are you beginning to notice a pattern? Most mainstream mental health treatments just want to surge cortisol. Isn’t it fucked up how most mental health treatments (SSRIs) cause a myriad of other problems while worsening the initial condition of the patient??
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0006322301011192
Take a look at cushing’s syndrome. Caused by too much cortisol. See how it lines up?
https://selfhacked.com/blog/reasons-cortisol-low-high/
“The HPA axis also communicates with several regions of the brain, including the limbic system, which is implicated in motivation and mood, with the amygdala, which generates fear in response to danger, and with the hippocampus, which plays an important part in memory formation as well as in mood and motivation [2]. In addition, the HPA axis is also connected with brain regions that control body temperature, suppress appetite, and control pain [2]. Research suggests that a chronically over-activated stress response may decrease growth, reproduction, metabolism, and immunity [3].”
“Researchers suspect that psychological symptoms excessive HPA activation include sleep disturbances, loss of libido, and loss of appetite, as well as an increased risk for accumulating abdominal fat. More human data are needed [7, 8].”
Sound familiar? Here’s a massive redpill on the truth about serotonin:
https://raypeatforum.com/community/...otonin-exposed-by-haidut-in-70-studies.26016/
Nightmares and waking up in sweats is also a common side effect of SSRIs. This is kind of a similar thing that happens with PTSD. Memory suppression, nightmares, cognitive impairment etc.
https://raypeatforum.com/community/...pinephrine-ne-drive-nightmares-in-ptsd.49526/
Why is all of this bad? If you can’t think, other people will be thinking for you. This makes you more suggestible and manipulatable. SSRIs are basically the real bluepill. And what’s the bluepill?It’s just ignorance, and as you know, ignorance leads to suffering. SSRIs are used in conjunction with “therapies” like CBT. Of course this will enable you to get brainwashed with bluepills. SSRIs basically threaten the sovereignty and individuality of your mind, identity, personality and ego.
You know, it’s a common tactic of cult leaders to make their followers take drugs that increase suggestibility so they become more brainwashed by their cult leader. There are also many cases of sex crimes that involve a patient taking suggestibility increasing drugs so they agree to have sex. It’s a hypnotism of sorts as I said. But this time, they’re attempting to hypnotise you so you conform to society better. And guess what? Society and normiedom is just a massive cult. And who’s responsible perpetuating like 99% of world problems like murder, abuse and poverty and suicides? Normies...
- Some indian guy“It’s no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society”
95% of serotonin is produced in the gut. SSRIs are known to cause gut issues too. And what’s your gut? It’s like your second brain. SSRIs compromise who you are to the core. This ties in with parasite theory. Gut microbes are part of the unconscious system regulating behavior. Recent investigations indicate that these microbes majorly impact on cognitive function and fundamental behavior patterns, such as social interaction and stress management.
There’s a reason why people sometimes go psycho when on these meds and it’s not really their fault. Their states of consciousness literally gets compromised on a biological level. And SSRIs or any sort of psych med they induce the lowest states of consciousness. Multiple studies show that SSRIs increase violent tendencies and suicidality. It’s also shown that SSRIs lower frontal lobe activation and decreases blood flow to these areas of higher function. This leaves people in somewhat of an unconscious trance state which is why people report patients acting in bizarre, out of character ways and their entire personality becoming unrecognisable.
The influx of serotonin also affects the pineal gland by interfering with melatonin. This leaves patients with insomnia, abnormal sleep cycles and even REM sleep suppression. This can of course drive people to insanity. Many patients also report having insomnia since taking SSRIs. This sort of sleep disruption blurs the lines between dream and reality.
What’s cognitive behavioural therapy? In a nutshell, it’s just a way for you to ignore reality right in front of you. Basically it’s a way to brainwash you into thinking the world is all rainbows and sunshine and that people don’t have ulterior motives or hidden agendas. Perfect for making you a gullible fool. Perfect for pacifying and blinding you to your injustices that you’ve faced throughout your life. People clearly behave and think the way they do because they had to adapt to their traumatising experiences and to minimize enduring more suffering than one is already going through. Perfectly normal people become broken by the traumas they experience and when they act out, they’re seen as the villains and people instantly dehumanize and pathologize them.
More often than not, most of these “cognitive distortions” are actually perfectly rational and valid thought processes. It’s human nature to see things objectively. CBT promotes a myopic sort of thinking. There’s a reason why this is commonly done in conjunction with SSRI treatment. It bypasses the thinking and rational parts of your mind and goes straight to the core because of how SSRIs increase suggestibility and suppress your ego, identity, personality and cognitive abilities. Anecdotally, people also report less creativity. That also obviously ties in with cognitive impariment. If CBT is most effective with SSRIs, that really says something about CBT itself. It’s not effective and it’s obviously wishful thinking and a giant cope.
SSRIs purposely make you blind, ignorant and myopic and CBT programming is the nail in the coffin. In this study, it discusses learned helplessness.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4920136/
"Passivity in response to shock is not learned. It is the default, unlearned response to prolonged aversive events and it is mediated by the serotonergic activity of the dorsal raphe nucleus, which in turn inhibits escape. This passivity can be overcome by learning control, with the activity of the medial prefrontal cortex, which subserves the detection of control leading to the automatic inhibition of the dorsal raphe nucleus."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4939133/
“The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) is a major source of serotonin in the midbrain and a target for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs).”
Very interesting. SSRIs induce learned helplessness. Perfect to control someone.
https://raypeatforum.com/community/...gullibility-trainability-and-servility.40956/
Most people are pretty incapable of seeing things from another’s perspective. This is the empathy gap. Seems like SSRIs amplify it lol. We’ll get into that later.
On Suicide
If you fuck up your suicide, prepare to be locked up in a psych ward. If you’re unlucky, they will force drug you. If you’re lucky, they’ll give you a choice to take medication or not but note that this can still be coercive and deceptive. They can misinform you on how these drugs actually work and so if you agree to take these, they won’t be held responsible. Also prepare to have your belongings taken away and that includes all technology like phones, laptops etc. This is done for your “safety” but it just makes you more isolated. If you’re serious about taking your own life, you have to be certain nothing will fuck up that’s if you don’t want to be hospitalized. So choose wisely, be firm on your decision and give yourself time to think, plan ahead and reconsider. By no means do I encourage suicide, I’m pro-choice.Why are suicidal people treated like this? Suicide is akin to murder in many people’s eyes. Anecdotally, if you’re labelled as mentally ill and suicidal, people will instantly see you and treat you as subhuman. They won’t respect your privacy, dignity and autonomy any more. You’ll become like some sort of lab rat or someone who needs to be babysitted. Very embarrassing way to live.
Why Suicide Pisses People Off
Firstly, you avoid paying a lifetime’s worth of taxes. That sure pisses the government off. That’s like a method of tax evasion actually. Suicide is still basically a crime. Secondly, companies miss out on you providing a lifetime’s worth of value. Thirdly, nobody can hurt you or use you as a pawn any more. That sure pisses people off too.Treatment Options?
Well, by now you’re probably apprehensive about taking dysphoria inducing SSRIs? So what are the other options? They are opioids, ketamine and psychedelics. None of these cause adverse effects like SSRIs do. Opioids in particular can be very addictive but its therapeutic benefit is pronounced. Ketamine is very fast acting whereas SSRIs takes long to “start working” aka slowly making you insane.The Unseen Factor – NDEs and Suicide
There are many reports of encounters with spiritual entities while in the NDE state. Often times, these entities appear to be coercive, manipulative and deceiving.This coercion happens both in this reality and outside of it.
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0160252713000757
(will make a post elaborating on this)
Therapy, “Opening Up” and Showing Vulnerability
Showing vulnerability is a very tricky decision. Of course, vulnerabilities exist to be exploited. People can obviously use what you say to get dirt on you. To outmanoeuvre this, you can just give the illusion of being open. Crafting fake stories to make you seem more normal than you actually are. But of course even this mask can crack and make you appear inauthentic. Everybody loves gossip. Everybody loves a good story. So people will intentionally try to get you to “spill the beans” and that will be to your detriment. Being secretive is always a safer option.There have also been cases of patient data leaking online. Take that for what it’s worth.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10913320/
Parasite Theory
When I talked about getting your consciousness compromised by SSRIs, it’s a real possibility. Some people literally act like they’re possessed. The overlap is pretty big from what you can see here. Seem familiar? Beginning to connect the dots to why people do fucked up shit and become fucked up while on SSRIs?Everything is spot on. Especially weight issues (antidepressants make you gain weight because of impaired metabolism). Many people on antidepressants report “not feeling like themselves” also.
How do SSRIs help the breeding ground of parasites in your gut? It’s strange how they’re immunosuppressants!
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1567576914000848
Isn’t it also interesting how parasites increase the levels of serotonin in their hosts?

The Implications of Pregnant Women Taking SSRIs and Prenatal Stress
Well by now if you’ve read this far you know that SSRIs increase cortisol by raising serotonin. Now for some odd reason, women are allowed to take SSRIs during pregnancy. If you’ve read everything I wrote before you’d be like “what the fuck” but it’s true. And how do the children turn out? They turn out autistic, dysfunctional and maladaptive. Of course this perpetuates a larger cycle of medication because now the children will be in “withdrawal” and will also suffer all the adverse effects of said medication. In short, if it’s a male, the child will probably also be involuntarily celibate.Obviously the prenatal stress caused by SSRIs will permanently damage the child.

It’s clear normies have been severely misled about serotonin.

What causes or triggers seizures in the first place?
SSRIs Significantly Lower Testosterone.
What is testosterone responsible for? And what are its effects?https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28179152/
https://www.healthline.com/health/depression/do-antidepressants-lower-testosterone
What are the implications of lowering androgen? Guess what.
“Low androgen or low testosterone (male hypogonadism) can cause fatigue, anxiety and depression, difficulty concentrating, poor exercise tolerance, low sex drive and erectile dysfunction. It can also lead to breast development (gynecomastia).”
Sound familiar? That’s exactly SSRI side effects.
https://www.centreformenshealth.co.uk/articles/16-signs-and-symptoms-of-low-t
“16 Signs of low testosterone
Low testosterone can show itself in a number of different ways. Low T symptoms include:
Decline in feeling of general wellbeing and health;
Decrease in libido/sexual desire
Joint pain and muscular ache, including general back ache or lower back pain;
Excessive sweating/night sweats and hot flushes; (waking up in sweats from nightmares is also an SSRI side effect)
Decrease in the number of morning erections;
Decrease in the ability to perform sexually/frequency of sex;
Decrease in beard growth;
Feeling burnt out and having reached rock bottom/that you have passed your peak;
Depressive mood or mood swings and lack of drive;
Decrease in muscular strength;
Physical exhaustion and lack of vitality;
Anxiety/Nervousness;
Irritability/anger;
Increased need for sleep/often feeling tired;
Sleep problems including difficulty in falling asleep, difficulty in sleeping through, waking up early.
Brain fog or confusion;
Of these, fatigue, depression, irritability, reduced sex drive and erection problems are the most common. However, not everybody with the condition will have all of these symptoms and the severity of each will vary from person to person.
Research has shown that low or ineffective testosterone levels are also implicated in many of the severe, long term illnesses which become common in men with ageing. Metabolic syndrome and diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, coronary heart disease and angina, and erectile dysfunction are illnesses where it has been shown testosterone deficiency can both be both part of the cause and be responsible for making the health consequences more severe.”
I’m sure you’ve connected the dots. Isn’t it strange how they will literally prescribe depression causing pills to “TREAT” depression??
Here’s another one.
https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/androgen-deficiency-in-men
“Symptoms of androgen deficiency
reduced sexual desire.
hot flushes and sweating.
breast development (gynaecomastia)
lethargy and fatigue.
depression.
reduced muscle mass and strength.
increased body fat, particularly around the abdomen.
weaker erections and orgasms.”
I’m pretty sure the lowered androgens and testosterone also causes memory loss, cognitive impairment too. This of course leads to reduced creativity. Difficulties with concentration too. A LOT of brain fog. There’s a reason why pilots on antidepressants end up in plane crashes. Antidepressant use also probably ends up in car crashes. Mental capacities in general get fucked up. As a result of memory loss people also get word finding problems. Brain fog in general.

In depression, HIGH serotonin is actually found.
https://raypeatforum.com/community/...lowers-energy-depression-self-resolves.46618/
“When I first saw the article pop up in my feed, I could hardly believe my eyes that a mainstream mouthpiece of Big Pharma will publish such frank admission of psychiatry's utter failure - i.e. the claims in regards to serotonin (5-HT), its role in mental illness, and even its social "label". In just two pages, the article openly admits that 5-HT are actually very high (instead of low) in clinically depressed people, that serotonin is NOT the "happy hormone" as media has brainwashing people for 50+ years, and that serotonin's main role is actually metabolic and such that results in lower energy (metabolism) in order to induce an "avoidant" behavior. So, depression is a metabolic/bioenergetic disease and serotonin is its major direct cause.
In addition, the article even suggests (inadvertently) a possible mechanism through which SSRI drugs drastically increase risk of suicide. Namely, SSRI drugs initially raise extracellular 5-HT levels even higher than they already were in clinically depressed people. After 2-3 weeks, the article claims that regulatory mechanisms kick in due to abnormally high 5-HT levels induced by the depression and the SSRI drugs, and the body starts to produce less serotonin as a compensatory mechanism. Then serotonin levels drop, and the person's depression is relieved. The first portion of this statement is spot-on, but I disagree with the second portion. Extracellular 5-HT levels of depressed people treated with an SSRI drug do NOT drop after a few weeks. So, for the first few weeks after starting an SSRI and the patient has a still-intact higher cognitive function (i.e. empathy) the extremely high 5-HT levels raise the risk of only suicide.
After the patient gets "numbed" by the SSRI, my guess is the propensity/risk for homicide/violence rises as well since the patient is no longer capable of empathy or caring about others (or self) - i.e. the patient has been (chemically) lobotomized. This (chemical) lobotomy is mis-diagnosed as "remission" from the depressive state, but psychiatrists know quite well it is NOT a return to the former healthy state and they (wrongly) advise their patients to stay on the drug for life due to fear of a relapse. Speaking of depression, another bombshell admission by the article is that most cases of depression (even severe ones) resolve on their own within 6-9 months!! So much for the "lifesaving" importance of the mental health industry. I wonder how many fewer people would have died from suicide/violence due to mental health issues if the mental health industry had NOT been around...
5 Surprising Facts About the Best Ways to Treat Depression
"...So how does CBT do as well as medication in the short term (and better in the long term) if it’s not directly treating the underlying “chemical imbalance”—the low serotonin that causes depression? As it turns out, low serotonin in depression is a myth. But the real link between serotonin and depression is even more surprising. “The evidence is pretty clear,” said Hollon.
“There’s not a deficit—there’s an excess.” He described findings from a study that measured metabolite levels from blood in the brain, which indicate how much serotonin the brain is using. Results from this study revealed that serotonin levels were elevated among those with clinical depression, and returned to normal levels following medication treatment. Other studies (e.g., Gjerris et al., 1987, and Sulllivan et al., 2006) using different methods have found similar results. These findings sound paradoxical, given that depression medications tend to increase the amount of serotonin in the synapse, at least initially. But Hollon explained that “within a week to ten days, you increase the amount of serotonin so high that the regulatory mechanisms push back.” As a result, serotonin levels fall. “It’s like holding a match up to a thermostat to turn the furnace down,” said Hollon. “You’re tricking the system into kicking back in and regulating” serotonin levels."
"...High levels of serotonin in depression make more sense when we realize that serotonin is not the “feel-good neurotransmitter,” as has often been claimed based on its involvement in depression; that role is played by the endogenous opioids (as the name suggests) like endorphins. According to Hollon, “Serotonin is the energy transfer regulator. It moves you back and forth between approach and avoidance behavior.”
"...There is a common belief that depression sticks around indefinitely unless it’s treated; however, research shows that most episodes are time-limited even without treatment. “Nobody knows for sure [how long an average episode lasts],” Hollon said, “but it looks like it’s about six to nine months.” This spontaneous remission may be a result of the rumination processes described above, to the extent that they lead to effective solutions. Nevertheless, Hollon points out that helping depression to resolve in “three to six weeks” through an effective treatment like CBT “is much better than six to nine months.”
As we know from a quote we’ve heard frequently “the devil can only invert what’s good.”. This applies to misinformation. Mainstream information of psych drugs is a complete inversion of how it actually is like in reality.
Serotonin Causes Autism?
The true creator of trucels. SSRIs.https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/serotonin-causes-autism.45002/
“I really don't know what it is, but every single serotonergic substance or medication I have ever tried turned me into either an aspie, or a complete autist.
It all started back in 2017 when I had insomnia, I was a pretty normal person but had trouble sleeping, a doctor prescribed melatonin (Melatonin stops your body from converting extra serotonin into melatonin because your body thinks it already has enough, leading to more free serotonin, it's like a mild serotonin reuptake inhibitor) since then my sleep had improved but I became socially withdrawn, no eye contact, overeacting over things, strange body movements when stressed out like flapping arms, about 1 year later I was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (aspergers) whilst still taking the melatonin.
The scary part is, about 2 years before the diagnosis when I also had insomnia but didn't take melatonin, I got tested for autism and the results were NEGATIVE (I had eye contact, payed attention and everything)
Now 1 year ago, I fell into deep depression and started taking SSRIS, after my first dose I started making caveman noises, flapping my arms, couldn't sit still, sometimes couldn't talk, everything around me made no sense, everything was confusing, breaking objects, no eye contact, severe anxiety, EVEN MORE insomnia, overeacting.
These all persisted for 2 weeks until my parents realized what was going on, within a few months free from all medications (I also quit melatonin during the time) my eye contact returned, no overeacting, no flapping arms, no caveman noises, better focus, ability to sit still, more cognitive ability, less anxiety and all. I became sort of normal again after quitting all my medications (Which were all serototonergic)
This needs to be known by science, because doing things to increase dopamine also tend to have the opposite effect of these drugs, I become even less autistic, like for example, when I took zinc which is pro-dopamine and pro-testosterone I felt even more "normal" to the point where nobody would be able to tell that I was given an autism diagnosis, strong eye contact, no fiddling, no agitation, no rumination, calm and collected and focus.”
From what I conclude, dopamine, testosterone and good androgen health are actually the real happy hormones. But obviously mainstream science and “mental health” liars won’t tell you this.
But SSRIs actually lower dopamine. That sucks, right? You will become numb and unable to feel any enjoyment.
https://raypeatforum.com/community/...-brakes-on-libido-by-lowering-dopamine.42227/
“Nothing really surprising, as far as Peatarians are concerned, in the findings of this study. I am only posting it here as it is one of the few that officially acknowledge that serotonergic drugs cause sexual dysfunction - i.e. something mainstream medicine has vehemently denied for decades. As such, it corroborates the approach of using anti-serotonin drugs such as cyproheptadine or low-dose (25mg-50mg daily) Benadryl, as well as dopamine agonists of the ergot class for the treatment of so-called PSSD - the persistent sexual dysfunction induced by serotonergic drugs. The study also explains why/how chronic stress inhibits libido - i.e. stress is known to powerfully elevate serotonin and lower dopamine. And last but not least, since these neurotransmitters play a key role in reproductive health as well, the study below demonstrates how/why stress causes infertility (in both sexes). The good news is that the therapies I mentioned above are applicable for both the lack of libido and infertility, whether caused by stress or by pharmacological poisons such as SSRI drugs.
Hypothalamic dopamine neurons motivate mating through persistent cAMP signalling - PubMed
www.genengnews.com
Sex Drive Linked to Medication-Sensitive Neuronal Signaling Mechanism
Sexual hunger or satiety has been shown to be regulated by cAMP mechanism in dopamine-releasing cells, suggesting that new antidepressants might avoid side effects on libido.
www.genengnews.com www.genengnews.com
"...The researchers propose that elevated serotonin may act as a brake on dopamine signaling in mating-related circuits, thereby decreasing libido—a side effect that nearly 75% of patients taking SSRIs experience. The scientists suggest that future therapies could target the newly identified dopamine-releasing neurons that regulate the drive to mate to alleviate the problem, thereby eliminating a major reason patients discontinue taking antidepressant medications."
Even on normie articles this is acknowledged:
https://www.wired.com/2009/02/antidepressants/
“The drugs also decrease dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in a wide range of cognitive and behavioral processes, among them desire and arousal. The new research suggests that dopamine may also play a part in romance.”
Connecting the dots, chronic stress also lowers dopamine to cause ahedonia. This is what SSRIs really do?
https://raypeatforum.com/community/...ers-dopamine-and-causes-mental-illness.31876/
“The evidence for the role of chronic stress in virtually every health condition doctors have a name for just keeps on accumulating. Unfortunately, even in this latest study the scientists keep insisting that there is some mysterious and unquantifiable difference between chronic stress "increasing risk of" and "causing" pathology. Yet, those same scientists have no problem stating in other studies they have performed that "chronic unpredictable mild stress" (CUMS), which is the animal equivalent of human stress/adversity, directly causes depression, despair, anhedonia, and even sudden cardiac arrest, etc. I guess not losing grant money is high on every researcher's New Year resolutions, and this group is no exception. It is simply a career-ender to state nowadays that something like CUMS that has been shown to cause mental (and physical illness) in every animal model tested so far is directly applicable in humans. Even when this statement is corroborated by evidence from the human study below, and even when the proposed "genetic" causes have all been debunked. Call me naive, but until I see serious evidence to the contrary, the most reasonable assumption is that ALL mental disorders are not genetically-driven either, and stress/diet is a major causative factor.
There Is No "Depression Gene", Any "evidence" So Far Has Been Errors / Fraud
Vast Majority (90%) Of Depression Cases Are Caused By Stress
Speaking of the study at hand - it demonstrates that chronic stress / adversity downregulates dopamine synthesis so that when a new stressful situation arises, not only is the person facing it not able to mount the proper dopamine surge response but their cortisol response is blunted too. What's worse - in people exposed to chronic stress, baseline dopamine levels are much lower but baseline cortisol levels are higher. This type of dysfunction has been observed in virtually all mental health conditions but is especially prominent in PTSD, depression, and generalized anxiety disorders (GAD). The lack of dopamine, of course, also leads to chronic anhedonia, which is one of the most reliable predictors of future suicide. The findings of the study also immediately implicate serotonin as a causative factor in this dysfunction as well. How so? Well, it is an established fact that dopamine is the main endogenous break on the production of serotonin due to the former being the most potent endogenous inhibitor of the enzyme that synthesizes serotonin - tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH). In addition, serotonin itself has an inhibitory role on dopamine synthesis. Thus, it immediately becomes obvious how chronic stress creates a vicious cycle of low dopamine -> high serotonin -> lower dopamine -> higher serotonin, etc, etc. Serotonin is also the master controller of cortisol synthesis by regulating ACTH through the 5-HT2C receptor. Most successful antidepressants (and especially Prozac) are actually antagonists of 5-HT2C and as such lower ACTH (and thus baseline cortisol) and increase dopamine. Those drugs are still terribly toxic due to SSRI inhibition, but the key point here is that they treat depression by actually (partially) blocking the effects of serotonin at the receptor level (and as such lowering cortisol) and/or increasing dopamine levels.
Blockage of 5HT2C serotonin receptors by fluoxetine (Prozac)
Fluoxetine, but not other selective serotonin uptake inhibitors, increases norepinephrine and dopamine extracellular levels in prefrontal cortex. - PubMed - NCBI
That is only part of the story and it is well-hidden because even psychiatrists are not aware of the partial anti-serotonin effects of these drugs and continue to parrot idiotically whatever pharma reps feed them. However, despite the ongoing propaganda that serotonin is still the "happy hormone", multiple Big Pharma companies (led by Pfizer and its drug antiserotonin drug terguride) are currently running clinical trials with a variety of drugs that either block serotonin at the receptor level (e.g. terguride) or inhibit its synthesis by blocking TPH. These trials cover diverse, serious chronic conditions spanning the spectrum of diabetes, morbid obesity, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), heart failure / fibrosis, Alzheimer Disease (AD), Parkinson Disease (PD, infectious disease like Ebola or even HIV, and many more. And based on even a single study like the one below, we can immediately see that all of these conditions can stem from something as "benign" or even mundane and widely accepted as chronic stress.
The effects of psychosocial stress on dopaminergic function and the acute stress response | eLife
Chronic adversity dampens dopamine production | For the press | eLife
“...We already know that chronic psychosocial adversity can induce vulnerability to mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and depression,” explains lead author Dr Michael Bloomfield, Excellence Fellow and leader of the Translational Psychiatry Research Group at University College London, UK. “What we’re missing is a precise mechanistic understanding of how this risk is increased.” To address this question, Dr Bloomfield and his colleagues used an imaging technique called positron emission tomography (PET) to compare the production of dopamine in 34 volunteers exposed to an acute stress. Half of the participants had a high lifetime exposure to psychosocial stress, while the other half had low exposure. All of them undertook the Montréal Imaging Stress Task, which involved receiving criticism as they tried to complete mental arithmetic. Two hours after this stress task, the participants were injected with small amounts of a radioactive tracer that allowed the scientists to view dopamine production in their brains using PET. The scans revealed that in those with low exposure to chronic adversity, dopamine production was proportional to the degree of threat that the person perceived."
"...In people with high exposure to chronic adversity, however, the perception of threat was exaggerated whilst their production of dopamine was impaired. The researchers found that other physiological responses to stress were also dampened in this group. For example, their blood pressure and cortisol levels did not increase as much as in the low-adversity group in response to stress. “This study can’t prove that chronic psychosocial stress causes mental illness or substance abuse later in life by lowering dopamine levels,” Dr Bloomfield cautions. “But we have provided a plausible mechanism for how chronic stress may increase the risk of mental illnesses by altering the brain’s dopamine system.”
So the gist is, SSRIs chronically put you in a crippled state of mind and fucks up the state of your body and organs. Particularly messing up the delicate balance and homeostasis of your body because of the unnecessary, harmful serotonin influx. Why are these drugs legal? Well, you know, fun is illegal. Actually helpful drugs are heavily regulated and gatekept.
SSRIs Impairs Growth Especially If Young
https://www.psychiatryadvisor.com/reports/treatment-with-ssris-during-puberty-impacts-height/#:~:text=These results indicate that SSRI,suppression of growth hormone signaling.If you were forced on SSRIs if you were young, it’s so unbelievably over for you. Here, read this story on erowid. He basically says that being forced on SSRIs impaired his growth and he remained virtually the same height while growing up.
https://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=79150
“One more thing: Prozac also stunted my pubertal growth. I didn’t grow one inch during puberty while on Prozac, so I am basically stuck in a 13 year olds body. My whole family is tall, except for me. I can’t prove this but studies are just now coming out saying it stunts growth in children and it all makes sense why I didn’t grow.”
“By the time I’m 15 I had been on the medicine for 2 years now. The sex drive that I once had at 12-13 from hitting puberty is now gone. At this point I’m so confused about life and who I am that I’m just gliding through life like a zombie. My mom thinks my “depression” isn’t improving so she keeps me on the medicine and by this point taking the medicine is 2nd nature so I just take it every day. The fights my mom and I have are worse now. Im breaking things in the house and constantly yelling back at my mom. I completely fail my freshman year of high school and have no motivation for anything. I still have no clue this is from the Prozac, as my mom and the doctor insist I “need” it. My heart, emotions, and natural personality are slowly starting to fade.”
If you were forced on these meds while young, it’s so unbelievably over…
Why do you think the stereotype for autistic people is a white frail looking boy? High serotonin, a feature of autism, impairs growth.
Imagine the implications of less growth hormone? Less height, less developed face etc. Truly an incel generator. Again this is due to cortisol.
https://karger.com/hrp/article/96/1/25/842156/Stress-and-Growth-in-Children-and-Adolescents#:~:text=High cortisol suppresses growth hormone,osteoporosis, and induction of insulin
High cortisol suppresses growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor 1, hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal, and thyroid axes and has been reported to be responsible for an increase in visceral adiposity, a decrease in lean mass, suppression of osteoblastic activity with risk of osteoporosis, and induction of insulin resistance. Early-life adversities, emotional or physical, have been associated with long-term negative physical and mental health outcomes
Autism, REM sleep and SSRIs
SSRIs essentially chemically induce sleep deprivation. It totally nukes your quality of sleep. Suppresses REM sleep.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0028390816301873#:~:text=In particular%2C selective serotonin re,et al.%2C 2013).
And why is REM sleep good? It’s essential for consolidating memories, learning, etc.
“What Happens If You Don’t Get Enough REM Sleep?
Multiple studies of both humans and animals suggest that being deprived of REM sleep interferes with memory formation. However, memory problems associated with a loss of REM sleep could be due to overall sleep disruption, since those often occur together. Also, studies of the few rare individuals who do not experience REM sleep show that they do not experience problems with memory or learning. That said, REM sleep deprivation disrupts the brain’s ability to generate new cells. More research is needed to better understand the effects of REM sleep deprivation.”
In Autism, sleep is also commonly impaired. Beginning to see a connection? Between increasing serotonin, melatonin, autism, REM etc.
https://www.sleepfoundation.org/stages-of-sleep/rem-sleep
“In general, missing out on sleep isn’t recommended. Sleep affects various aspects of your overall health, from your mood to your immune system. When you don’t get enough sleep, you experience sleep deprivation. Signs of sleep deprivation can include:
Difficulty concentrating during the day
Excessive daytime sleepiness
Forgetfulness or poor memory
Over time, chronic sleep deprivation is linked to health conditions like diabetes, depression, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
Without adequate sleep, your cognitive performance will decline. You may find yourself forgetting things more often, as working memory is highly affected by sleep deprivation. In fact, short sleepers, who regularly sleep fewer than six hours per night, can experience the same impairments to their working memory as people who haven’t slept for two nights in a row. Since you get most of your REM sleep in the second half of the night, short sleepers spend less time in REM
. Certain medications, such as those commonly used to treat anxiety and depression, may also suppress REM sleep.
Of course suppressing REM sleep also means that SSRIs suppress people from dreaming in the first place. That can even occur after coming off the medication. Why this medication is so shilled for? It’s beyond me.
https://incels.is/threads/study-hum...-people-are-hormonally-sleep-impaired.268767/“Autistic people are known to have disturbances in the serotonin-melatonin pathway. They're sleep impaired on a hormonal level

See the connection?

SSRIs literally chemically induce autism. RIP SSRI users and all children and teens forced on it.
Mental Health Services are Inherently Feminine
Most patients are women. Most practitioners are women. And psychiatry inherently breaks you so you can conform to a standard. Nobody actually knows what they’re talking about especially practitioners. They’re just programmed to mindlessly recite from a script. Almost like a flowchart. No fluidity or intelligence required. Anybody can do their job really. And they don’t really care if they damage the patient. They mostly care about their paycheck like 99% of other people. So it’s time to take responsibility and avoid these places like the plague.https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/more-women-mental-health-professionals/
If you read geckobus’s threads, that’s really something eh?
Also, it literally feminises you biologically because of the effects of the pills.
Amotivational Syndrome, Frontal Lobe Syndrome
SSRIs literally fuck up the frontal lobe of your brain, responsible for higher cognitive functions. It literally slowly turns you into some sort of retarded drooling zombie.Ihttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amotivational_syndrome
It’s literally a worse version of weed. At least weed doesn’t make your dick stop working and make increase estrogen to feminize you.
“Signs and symptoms
Amotivational syndrome has been suspected to affect the frontal cortex or frontal lobe of the brain by the impairment of that region[7] which monitors cognitive functions and skills that revolve around emotional expression, decision making, prioritisation, and internal, purposeful mental action. It is most often detected through signs that are linked to apathy such as disinhibited presentations, short and long term memory deficit or amnesia, a lack of emotional display also known as emotional blunting, relative disinterest, passivity, and reluctance to participate in prolonged activities that require attention or tenacity.[2][3][5] Common symptoms that may also be experienced include incoherence, an inability to concentrate on tasks, emotional distress, a diminished level of consciousness, selective attention or attentional control, and being withdrawn and asocial.[2][7] These symptoms are also generally linked to cannabis consumption and abuse, as well as SSRI medication that are often used as forms of antidepressant medication.”
SSRIs turn people into brainlets, point taken.
Notice the similarities to frontal lobe syndrome?
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30422576/#:~:text=Frontal lobe syndrome is a,%2C and language%2Fspeech production.
“Frontal lobe syndrome, in general, refers to a clinical syndrome resulting from damage, and impaired function of the prefrontal cortex, which is a large association area of the frontal lobe. The areas involved may include the anterior cingulate, the lateral prefrontal cortex, the orbitofrontal cortex, and the frontal poles.
Frontal lobe syndrome is a broad term used to describe the damage of higher functioning processes of the brain such as motivation, planning, social behavior, and language/speech production. Although the etiology may range from trauma to neurodegenerative disease, regardless of the cause frontal lobe syndrome poses a difficult and complicated condition for physicians. Classically considered unique among humans, the frontal lobes are involved in a variety of higher functioning processing, such as regulating emotions, social interactions, and personality. The frontal lobes are critical for more difficult decisions and interactions that are essential for human behavior. However, with the spread of neurosurgery and procedures such as lobotomy and leucotomy for the treatment of psychiatric disorders, a variety of cases have illustrated the significant behavioral and personality changes due to frontal lobe damage. Harlow first described this collection of symptoms as "frontal lobe syndrome" after his research on the famous Phineas Gage who suffered a dramatic change in behavior as a result of trauma. Thus, an abnormality in the frontal lobe could dramatically change not only processing but personality and goal-oriented directed behavior.
Prior research has sought to identify the major areas where lesions may occur to cause the behavioral changes in frontal lobe disorders.”
“Ventromedial Orbitofrontal Cortex
Commonly known to cause “frontal lobe personality”, lesions in the orbitofrontal areas classically cause dramatic changes in behavior leading to impulsivity and a lack of judgment. Lesions usually found in Broadmann’s Areas 10, 11, 12, and 47 are associated with a loss of inhibition, emotional lability, and inability to function appropriately in social interactions. The most popular case involving a lesion in this area is the case of Phineas Gage who had major behavioral changes after his trauma. However, in a study by Tranel and Damasio et al., a variety of other etiologies such as stroke and neoplasms may cause “frontal lobe personality.”
Anterior Cingulate and Dorsolateral Syndromes
Lesions in the areas around Brodmann areas 9 and 46 may cause deficits within working memory, rule-learning, planning, attention, and motivation. Recent studies have reinforced that DLPFC is critical for working memory function and in particular for monitoring and manipulating the content of working memory. DLPFC may also affect attention as several cases have documented patients complaining of attentional deficits after brain trauma. There are also psychiatric implications due to injury to DPFMC. Previous studies have researched how lesions in the DLPFC may cause "pseudo-depressive" syndrome associated with DLPFC associated with a loss of initiative, decreased motivation, reduced verbal output, and behavioral slowness (abulia). Other processing issues include rule learning, task switching, planning/ problem solving, and novelty detection and exogenous attention. The anterior cingulate cortex is important for the motivation behind attention, but may also be involved in a variety of psychiatric disorders such as depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
A new area of research within the dorsolateral frontal cortices revolves around "intuition." The frontal lobes can communicate with the limbic system and association cortex. In turn, this emotional influence is associated with abstract decisions to create more efficient or “intuitive” decisions in a short span of time.”
Perhaps this also explains why people’s personalities change while on SSRIs much like how brain damaged people go on to act out of character and commit crimes? Perhaps SSRIs even induce some sort of brain damage? Well as you know they basically fuck up your prefrontal cortex. And what’s that responsible for?
Well it does induce hyponatraemia.
A Theory Regarding Women, SSRIs and Emotions
I have a theory that women are actually very emotionally numb which makes it much easier for them to emotionally signal. Essentially they’re very good actors. They don’t feel as deeply as men. I’m sure other users have concluded the same. They seem to move on very fast. When I was on SSRIs, I was of course emotionally blunted and scarily, it became much easier to lie and fake emotions that I didn’t have. I felt like a psychopath. Why women commonly take these drugs and “benefit” from it? Well after all it does increase estrogen. Perhaps SSRIs gave me an experience into the mind of women. Or a psychopath. Many crimes, many deaths related to SSRI use actually.I know for a fact that if I died today, none of the females in the family would feel a thing deep down. Sure they would pretend and signal emotion but deep down it would be like another day for them. Why women on average take SSRIs more and report it “helping them” whereas for men it ruins their lives? Estrogen and it helps women get back into their “default state” which from their perspective is being numb, dumb, unthinking etc. You can verify the effects of estrogen by looking at transgender hormone therapy anecdotes and results.
Mothers would easily not care if their children died. It’s just societally expected for them to display emotion and reactions as such to show they care. And women are good actors but deep down, they’re empty shells.
There’s a reason why women are typically thought of to be less intelligent and less creative.
So when women take SSRIs, it’s back to normal. But for men, it’s an entirely foreign state of mind a lot of the time.
SSRIs and Cortisol?
The combination of increased cortisol and lowered androgen and testosterone make it a common side effect of antidepressants to induce balding. They mess with your hormones in general big time. SSRIs are known to increase prolactin and cortisol a lot. This of course leads to weight gain, cognitive impairment etc.https://www.psychiatric-drug-effects.com/downloads/Antidepressant Physical Adverse Reactions.pdf
“Cortisolaemia symptoms include obesity, excess abdominal fat and fluid
retention or oedema.
SSRI antidepressants in the short-term have been shown to raise the
levels of cortisol14 a stress hormone.
Continuous exposure to SSRIs has been proposed for the return of high
levels of cortisol and ACTH, a pituitary hormone that stimulates the
secretion of cortisone from the adrenals.5
Physical effects of raised cortisol are weight gain, immune dysfunction
and atrophy of the hippocampus with memory loss.5
Long term raised cortisol causes insulin resistance,15 which precedes
diabetes
“Hyperprolacinaemia
The serotonin neurotransmitter is one of the primary chemicals with a
stimulatory effect upon the prolactin hormone and plays various roles in
reproduction, fertility and sexual functions.
Hyperprolactinaemia, an excess of prolactin, is caused by SSRI’s
disruption to the endocrine system. 29, 30, 31 In a French
pharmacovigilance database study, 17% of drug induced
hyperprolactinaemia cases had been induced by SSRIs.32
Hyperprolactinaemia has physical consequences of various sexual
dysfunctions in men and women”
Why is prolactin bad?
Males — When a high blood prolactin concentration interferes with the function of the testicles, the production of testosterone (the main male sex hormone) and sperm production decrease. Low testosterone causes decreased energy, sex drive, muscle mass and strength, and blood count (anemia).
https://www.uptodate.com/contents/high-prolactin-levels-and-prolactinomas-beyond-the-basics/print#:~:text=Males — When a high blood,and blood count (anemia).
Bruxism is also a common feature of high cortisol. And guess what? Antidepressants SSRIs induce bruxism.
https://www.scielo.cl/pdf/ijodontos/v10n3/art14.pdf
“This study's result showed higher salivary cortisol levels in patients with bruxism than in those without bruxism (p<0.001). There was still a positive correlation between the BiteStrip scores in patients with bruxism and their salivary cortisol level (r=0.401, p=0.047).”

This will destroy your jaw and teeth probably.
Also, Read this.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12467107/
“Accordingly, the elevated cortisol induced by stress increases serotonin uptake, under both rest and nerve stimulation, which is overtly expressed in symptoms of depression.”
And it’s implications on prenatal stress, for the retarded mothers who take SSRIs during pregnancy?
https://www.jsafog.com/doi/JSAFOG/pdf/10.5005/jp-journals-10006-2072
I can’t past any excerpts because it would exceed word count. I have a theory that most mental illness today is due to mothers taking SSRIs though especially during pregnancy. And the rates of women who take SSRIs?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/gend...nts-why-dont-we-know-their-long-term-effects/
This would probably explain reduced fertility and birth rates too.
Psych Ward Mortality Rates
It’s commonly seen in patients that are forced into psych wards, and then released, to go onto killing themselves. What does this tell you about the system? It tells me that it’s still in the dark ages and these so called “professionals” and “experts” don’t actually know what they’re doing. If they were competent at their jobs, surely suicide and mental illness rates would be decreasing? But no, they’re just another piece of the puzzle in creating a more dysfunctional society.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7461827/
“Studies from all over the world have found excess mortality for psychiatric patients (1–5). The standardized mortality ratio (SMR) in psychiatric populations has varied from being 1-fold to 20-fold higher than in the general population, depending on psychiatric diagnosis, patient population, and causes of death (6–8). Most psychiatric diagnoses carry an elevated mortality risk (4, 9, 10), and the highest risk of premature death has been found among patients with substance use disorders (3, 5, 7, 11, 12) or organic mental disorders (13, 14).
Several studies from the Nordic countries have also shown excess mortality rates in patients with psychiatric disorders, especially among patients discharged from psychiatric hospitals (2, 15, 16). A Norwegian study conducted by Nome and Holsten (16) showed an overall SMR of 2.9 [95% confidence interval (CI), 2.5–3.1] and 2.2 (95% CI, 1.9–2.4) for male and female patients, respectively, discharged from a psychiatric hospital from 1985 to 2003. Further, the study showed an alarming increase in SMR for both genders during the study period. The increasing SMR was explained by both a decreased mortality in the general population, and an increased mortality in the study population.
The excess mortality after discharge from psychiatric facilities has been explained by both natural and unnatural causes (17, 18). The most common natural causes of death in psychiatric patients are cardiovascular and respiratory diseases (13, 18, 19). Some studies have suggested that patients with mental disorders receive a lower quality of healthcare in the treatment of their somatic disorders (10, 20). The excess mortality by natural causes may also be explained by several other reasons including that the population is vulnerable with limited ability to utilize information about health promotion (21, 22), under-diagnosis and under-treatment of somatic conditions among mentally ill patients (23, 24), adverse effects of psychotropic drugs (25, 26), and common genetic risk factors for somatic and psychiatric disorders (13).”
“Seek help! Seek therapy” LOL, okay. Truly the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again while expecting different results (reducing mental illness and suicide)
SSRIs Impair Empathy
If you read about how SSRIs cause prefrontal cortex dysfunction, it would be obvious that it would impair empathy, lower inhibition and trigger violence and criminal behaviour. There’s a study that concludes that they do impair empathy. Read this.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41398-019-0496-4
Let it burn lol.

Arthur Schopenhauer On Sexuality
Psychiatry literally started a campaign against masturbation lol. They really don’t like sexuality. Even their pills kill sexuality.https://fee.org/articles/remembering-masturbatory-insanity/
Belief in masturbatory insanity and its treatment with castration and clitoridectomy was not an innocent error. This belief—like beliefs in other popular delusions—enhanced the identity and self-concept of the believers. Ostensibly, such beliefs assert facts; actually, they credential believers.
Henry Maudsley, the acknowledged founder of British psychiatry, stated: “The sooner he [the masturbator] sinks to his degraded rest, the better for the world which is well rid of him.” For this and similar views he was hailed as a great humanitarian: A famed psychiatric institute in London is named after him. For Freud, too, sexual behaviors of all kinds, especially masturbation, were manifestations of maladies of which he was a master diagnostician and therapist.
As recently as 1938, Karl Menninger—the undisputed dean of American psychiatry in mid-century—declared: “In the unconscious mind, it [masturbation] always represents an aggression against someone.” (Emphasis added.)
None of psychiatry’s classic mistakes—from masturbatory insanity and its cures, to the disease of homosexuality and its compulsory treatment with “aversion therapy,” and to the attribution of the cause of schizophrenia to reverberating circuits in the frontal lobes and its cure with lobotomy (rewarded with a Nobel Prize in Medicine)—are “innocent” errors. Invariably, the false belief and the medical interventions it appears to justify serves the needs of the believers, especially the relatives of “patients” who seek control over the misbehavior of their “loved ones,” and the physicians who gain prestige and power by “diagnosing” and “treating” misbehavior as if it were disease.
We fool ourselves if we believe that psychiatry’s current popular delusions—such as the chemical causes and cures of depression, schizophrenia, suicide, and so forth—do not fit the same mold.
What do antidepressants do to sexuality?
https://www.psychiatric-drug-effects.com/downloads/Antidepressant Physical Adverse Reactions.pdf
What does Arthur Schopenhauer say about sexuality?
"Sexual desire is the most perfect manifestation of the will to live, and hence it is the concentration of all our willing and striving."
Why SSRI users commit suicide?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4034101/
“Data on suicide, available from 1988 to 1994, showed that, in the seven-year period during which SSRI use rose, male suicide rates increased from 9.8 to 10.2 per 100,000 inhabitants while females suicide rates declined from 3.9 to 3.2. The authors concluded that, in Italy, there was not any dramatic reduction in the overall suicide rates as a result of the increasing prescribing of SSRIs.”
Why SSRIs Work Better on Women
Now this is very interesting. If you read before, SSRIs have a feminising effect by lowering testosterone and increasing estrogen. It’s a no-brainer that women would obviously benefit more from it. Whereas for men it would weaken them and cause adverse effects. It’s literally incompatible. Does more harm than good when men take it. And the implications? The adverse effects men experience like emotional blunting, cognitive impairment, memory loss, being reckless irritable, lower empathy etc. it’s just like experiencing the mind of a woman. Especially with lowered testosterone and increased estrogen.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/psychotropic-drugs-affect-men-and-women-differently/
“Antidepressants
• Multiple studies suggest that women respond better to SSRI antidepressants than men (particularly Zoloft), whereas men may have better luck with tricyclics.”
Also read this, it explains women behaviour very well.
https://raypeatforum.com/community/...r-and-potentiate-the-effects-of-stress.30565/
“I was quite surprised to see this article in WebMD - a website that is bastion of mainstream medicine. It regularly promotes dogmas related serotonin, estrogen, oxytocin, growth hormone, etc and the myriad of "benefits" these substances bestow upon humans. However, a bit of truth apparently manages to slip through the censorship every once in a while and the article below is a prime example of that. The study author directly states that higher estrogen levels are the likely explanation for the higher incidence of mental illness in females. As her studies (some of them listed below) demonstrated, estrogen is an actual stress hormones that can trigger the stress response by itself when its levels are sufficiently elevated. However, even at low levels estrogen is not benign at all as it can amplify the effects of an external stress signal that would normally not trigger a stress response in the absence of estrogen. It is amazing that despite all the evidence that has accumulated about estrogen's role in so many pathologies, most doctors still treat it (and medical schools teach about it) as if it was purely a "female hormone", and one that is quite benign.
Estrogen Promotes Stress Sensitivity in a Prefrontal Cortex–Amygdala Pathway
Estrogen mediates sex differences in stress-induced prefrontal cortex dysfunction. - PubMed - NCBI
Estrogen Is Involved in Stress Response
"...New research from Yale University may help explain why women are twice as likely as men to suffer from stress-related mental illnesses such as depression. Animal studies show that high levels of the female sex hormone estrogen affect the brain's ability to deal with stress. Estrogen was found to amplify the stress response in areas of the brain most closely identified with depression and other stress-related mental illnesses. Researchers say the findings may one day lead to the development of treatments for depression that specifically target women. "These findings suggest that there is a difference between men and women in how the prefrontal cortex responds to stress," says graduate student Rebecca M. Shansky, who was the study's lead researcher."
"...The Yale team exposed male and female rats to different levels of stress and then had the rats perform a short-term memory task designed to assess prefrontal cortex function. This region of the brain has been shown in previous brain imaging studies to be abnormal in depressed people. In the absence of stress, both the males and females performed the task equally well, and both sexes performed poorly when exposed to relatively high levels of stress. Yet when levels of estrogen were high, female rats were impaired by lower levels of stress than male rats. During periods when this hormone was low, they responded similarly to male rats to stress. "High estrogen levels made these animals more sensitive to the effects of stress," Shansky tells WebMD."
How to Recover?
My personal take and my personal theory on this is to:- Increase dopamine levels, sensitivity and receptors somehow. Dopaminergic drugs??
- Increase testosterone and fix androgens? Fixing up fucked up hormones in first place
- Fix metabolism
- Lower cortisol
- Having high nutrient intake from supplements and make sure your body absorbs it well
- Mushrooms to improve cognitive function
- Fix gut issues. Especially serotonin.
- Parasite detox. Deworming.
- NAC protocol? Idk.
- Lower serotonin
- Fix REM sleep by taking melatonin and rebalancing serotonin/melatonin.
TLDR?
- SSRIs increase cortisol- SSRIs increase estrogen
- SSRIs decrease dopamine (lol it literally takes away your enjoyment for life)
- SSRIs lower testosterone and androgens
- SSRIs fuck up your brain and give cognitive impairment and memory loss.
- SSRIs don’t actually make you happy
- SSRIs are probably just some experiment in mind control, brainwashing and reprogramming. Mkultra. That’s why it’s apparently “more effective” with CBT. Basically just an elaborate brainwashing bluepill at the expense of your body and mind.
- SSRIs leave you a shell of a person.
- SSRIs lower inhibition.
- SSRIs chemically castrate you
- SSRIs impair REM sleep. Chemical sleep deprivation pills
- most mental health services inherently feminize men.
- withdrawals will fuck you up. The side effects you get there’s always a chance of it being permanent.
- SSRIs give depersonalization and derealization
- SSRIs compromise your gut, takes control and lowers your consciousness and basically parasites begin to possess you.
- SSRIs impair growth. Meaning height growth and pubertal development. It’s over if you were on these drugs when young. (forced)
- If you’re autistic, chances are your mom was on SSRIs or some sort of psych drug
- SSRIs cause sleep disruption, REM sleep disruption and insomnia. Too much serotonin impairs sleep and causes autism
- SSRIs are innately dysphoria inducing drugs. Ironically inducing depression, anxiety ahedonia for men.
Closing Words
In conclusion, no, SSRIs or any psych meds they don’t make you happy. At best, it just puts your mind in an anaesthesia state. No thoughts, no emotions. Blank slate to be programmed and controlled. A sort of ego death. At best, SSRIs just prevent you from even thinking or planning anything properly. That includes suicide. Ironically it also completely removes any fear or inhibitions to commit suicide. Because of cortisol increasing, tolerance builds. That’s why suicide rates of antidepressant use are pretty high and also violence rates. Inhibition remover.It’s commonly known that if you want to control a society, you have to have control over the women. If you want to control men, you have to weaken them by feminizing them which is exactly what “mental health” and psychiatry does by their drugs and programming. If psychiatry actually worked, suicide rates would’ve been dropping but it hasn’t it’s only been increasing and increasing. If psychiatry actually worked, the rates of mental illness would decrease but really, it just makes broken individuals become more broken and therefore do things that reflect that such as suicide and violence, further perpetuating the cycles of suffering for others to bear as they eventually become broken by such actions too.
If truly happy individuals were high serotonin, their dicks would stop working, they would be retarded, they would feel emotionally numb, they would have snappable bones, they would be fat, they would probably be autistic and we know autistic individuals are usually deeply unhappy because of facing ableism. Psychiatry literally feminises the individual, forcing complacency, on a biological level, to live in the god forsaken system. It’s essentially a chemical straight jacket of sorts. When society medicates the individual because he reacts to the injustices he faced, it’s just another way to disable and neuter him. “The child not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth”. But it’s commonly accepted in our society and CULTure to medicate such “problematic” individuals.
When it comes to mental health, the “professionals” are as clueless as anyone else. Don’t be fooled by their titles, junk science and unverified pseudoscience slop that they mindlessly parrot from textbooks. Clinical trials have been frauded and these drugs are portrayed in a false light. So there it is gentlemen. This is your “help” and “therapy” but now you’ve taken off the rose tinted glasses. Get real, it doesn’t help. As shown clearly, psych meds make you an empty shell of a person. I’m sure nobody is willing to endure that if they were told the truth about these drugs. It erases all emotion not just the “bad ones” like they tell you.
To any sort of retarded normie redditor type one-liner people:
