Hoodwinked

Why you’ll never have a ‘chemical imbalance’
– and why you won’t need to take an antidepressant like Prozac

We’ve all been hoodwinked by the drugs industry, as this
shocking report from ‘What Doctors Don't Tell You’ reveals

The great depression mythEveryone thinks that severe or chronic depression is caused by a ‘chemical imbalance’. You read it on the web, in newspapers and books, and your doctor will confirm it. He will then give you an SSRI (serotonin selective reuptake inhibitor) antidepressant such as Prozac – a drug designed to correct that imbalance.

But everyone, including your doctor, has been hoodwinked by the drugs industry. Every year they sell $13bn-worth of SSRIs – even though our ‘chemicals’ aren’t out of balance, nor are they a cause of depression.

The theory has been promoted by the drugs industry since it was first mooted in the late 1960s – yet it’s never been proven, and even the leading psychiatry textbooks deny that it’s a cause of depression.

In Ireland, the drug regulator there has banned GlaxoSmithKline from claiming its SSRI, Paxil, corrects a chemical imbalance, while America’s Food and Drug Administration has issued 10 warning letters to drug companies about making similar claims.

The SSRI report is essential reading for everyone – because at some time or another you, or someone you know, will suffer from depression. This ‘What Doctors Don't Tell You’ report tells you what depression really is, and how it can be treated without taking dangerous drugs such as Prozac.

Best of all, it’s now available as part of our WDDTY downloads service, so you can have the report downloaded to your computer in a matter of minutes.
