WHO Urges People to Reveal Depression, Goal is to Pump Up Big Pharma Medication SalesElizabeth Renter There is no doubt that many people are depressed and there is little doubt that these people need help. Depression, after all, can lead to serious health conditions and can drive some people to suicide. The stigmas associated with depression certainly dont help anyone. But pushing pharmaceuticals as the most viable treatment method is a travesty, particularly when it comes from a body as esteemed and large as the WHO. We have some highly effective treatments for depression, said Dr. Shekhar Saxena, the Director of the Department for Mental Health and Substance Abuse. Unfortunately, fewer than half the people who have depression receive the care they need. In fact, in many countries, this is less than 10%. This is why WHO is supporting countries in fighting stigma as a key activity to increasing access to treatment. Anti-depressant medications are the most frequently used of all drugs in the United States for people between the ages of 18 and 44, according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We all deserve to be happy, but we are quite literally being spoon-fed a diet that leads to depression. Study after study has linked depression to modern diet failures like fast food and junk food, BPA, and MSG. Because not only are you filling yourself with manmade chemicals when you eat the standard American diet (SAD), you are likely deficient in the healing compounds present in natural food sources. Some experts say that the chemical imbalance frequently cited as the cause of depression doesnt exist at all, that there is zero evidence to back this imbalance and that depression is something that doesnt need to be managed with a chemical cocktail of Big Pharma remedies. Perhaps eliminating the stigma associated with depression could begin by eliminating the false ideas we have about the disease. By honestly looking at whats causing this pervasive sadness in our communities, we may just find the solution is much simpler than even a pill. We may find that, like most other preventable diseases, the right diet of whole, natural foods could stop the frightening growth of depression and related prescription drug use. Unfortunately, at least for now, you wont hear calls for this radically simple solution coming from the WHO.
