Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Q9odRajmc0 Chemical ImbalancePeople with depression are often told that they have a chemical imbalance despite the fact that there is no medical test to detect such an imbalance.Instead medications that effect different brain chemicals are basically thrown at a person randomly, dosages are changes, different drugs are tried, multiple medications are tried and finally electroshock therapy is used if the person failed to respond to the antidepressants.Sharon talks about her experience with her doctor and psychiatrists telling her she had a chemical imbalance. She originally was prescribed antidepressants by her doctor for depression and was later referred to psychiatry. Before it was over, she took medications for 12 years and probably tried dozens of different psychotropic drugs. All the time she got worse, became suicidal and decided to get herself off the medications.Now she as been off medications for 2 years is emotionally stable and living a happy life.
