Freeing Yourself of the Shadows that Darken Your Days |

"I like to help others and count it as my greatest pleasure in life to
see a person free himself of the shadows which darken his days.
"These shadows look so thick to him and weigh him down so that when he
finds they are shadows and that he can see through them, walk through
them and be again in the sun, he is enormously delighted. And I am
afraid I am just as delighted as he is."
—L. Ron
Hubbard

News of the Debate on Depression
 |
Amidst
the highly public debate on depression, the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA) released a Public
Health Advisory (PHA) warning against worsening
depression and increased risk of suicidal
behavior in people taking antidepressants.
After a short-term study of nine antidepressant
drugs revealed an increased risk of suicidal
behavior in children and adolescents, the
FDA directed drug manufacturers to add a "black
box" warning to all antidepressants. The "black
box" warning is the most serious warning placed
on a prescription drug. In the FDA Review of
Clinical Trials, it warns that the rate of suicidal
thinking or behavior with these drugs was 4%, twice
the placebo risk of 2%.
Federal health officials are also looking into a
suggestion by a University of Texas study that Ritalin
and other stimulant drugs given to children might
increase the risk of cancer later in life.
Depression is now ranked as a major global
health crisis, affecting over 120 million
people, according to the World Health Organization
(WHO).
The symptoms of depression include feeling
sad or down, losing interest in usual activities,
feeling guilty, worthless or hopeless, or having
sleeplessness and lack of energy. This means that
practically every person on this planet suffers
at one point or another from depression.
Harvard University psychiatrist Joseph Glenmullen
says "...the questionnaire of symptoms
used to 'diagnose' depression may 'look scientific'
but when one examines the questions asked and the
scales used, they are utterly subjective measures..."
The "depression screening" in the general community
has undoubtedly influenced the 60 million prescriptions
for antidepressants written in the U.S. —
about 10% of the American population,
including 1.5 million children.
Allen J. Frances, Professor of Psychiatry at Duke
University Medical Center writes:
"Psychiatry's claim that mental illnesses
are brain diseases...is not true.
"There are no objective diagnostic tests
to confirm or disconfirm the diagnosis of depression...
"There is no blood or other biological test to ascertain
the presence or absence of a mental illness, as
there is for most bodily diseases.
"If such a test were developed...then the condition
would cease to be a mental illness and would be
classified, instead, as a symptom of a bodily disease."
While there has been no shortage of biochemical
explanations for psychiatric conditions, Glenmullen
is emphatic, "...not one has been proven. Quite
the contrary. In every instance where such
an imbalance was thought to have been found, it
was later proven false."
According to Elliot S. Valenstein, PhD and author
of Blaming the Brain, "The theories are
held onto not only because there is nothing else
to take their place, but also because they are useful
in promoting drug treatment."
As with any condition, treating only the
symptoms, not the cause, has no real long-term benefits.
With the current mainstream treatments, it seems
therefore that no safe, effective therapy exists.
However, it is not true that no understanding of
the causes of depression exists.
In his book Dianetics: The Modern Science of
Mental Health, author and humanitarian L. Ron
Hubbard lays out very clearly the exact anatomy
of how the mind works, and what causes such things
as stress, anxiety and unhappiness.
Dianetics fully explains the source of
upsets and uncontrolled emotion, and explains how
to get rid of them.
Current medical thinking treats physical illnesses
as a function only of the body, while modern psychiatry
treats mental illnesses as a dysfunction of the
brain.
In Dianetics, Mr. Hubbard demonstrates
how the mind affects the body.
He shows how 70% of all man's illnesses are in fact
psychosomatic, and he wrote, "The problem of psychosomatic
illness is entirely embraced by Dianetics, and by
Dianetic technique such illness has been eradicated
entirely in every case."
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health,
was first published in 1950 and has been a consistent
best-seller ever since.
The information contained in this book can help
people achieve a happier and healthier life. Dianetics®
Techniques go straight to the source of the problem
and handle the cause, thus alleviating the symptoms.
Depression is a very real and tragic thing. Dianetics
can help to handle it and should be a welcome
solution to a condition that is now regarded
as a global problem.
