• It definitely should be stopped. Luckily there are ways to get better if someone does end up doing it and gets damaged. Increasing autophagy is one way to support brain health and healing. In case anyone is interested, here are a bunch of ways to induce autophagy that have helped me heal my brain: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/31-powerful-ways-to-induce-autophagy-in-the-brain

• Yep! Spot on! There are so many other factors at play, including inflammation and nutrient deficiencies. In fact, there are 20 nutrient deficiencies that can cause depressive symptoms: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/nutrient-deficiencies-depression

• Not surprising. There are 20 nutrient deficiencies that can cause depressive symptoms: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/nutrient-deficiencies-depression

• Great article! Glad to see this happening. There are 20 nutrient deficiencies that can cause depressive symptoms: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/nutrient-deficiencies-depression

• I had a very good experience with neurofeedback: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/the-revolutionary-video-game-that-healed-my-mental-illness

  But I’m very sorry to hear about your experience. Neurofeedback is definitely powerful, you are right. It can do just as much harm as good if the practitioner doesn’t know what they are doing.

• Just want to share this. It’s a bunch of natural ways to increase oxytocin levels in the brain: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/25-effective-ways-to-increase-oxytocin-levels-in-the-brain

• In case anyone is interested, here are some ways to increase oxytocin levels in the brain: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/25-effective-ways-to-increase-oxytocin-levels-in-the-brain

• Here are some ways to increase oxytocin! https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/25-effective-ways-to-increase-oxytocin-levels-in-the-brain

• Psychiatric drugs definitely caused more harm than good to me. Contributed to some brain damage, oxygen therapy has helped though thankfully: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/how-to-improve-your-brain-function-with-an-oxygen-concentrator

• They are definitely neurotoxic! Took a huge toll on my brain and had to do so much to recover my brain function. Oxygen therapy was one step I took that helped: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/how-to-improve-your-brain-function-with-an-oxygen-concentrator

• Interesting… We need to support our bodies and brains more than ever in today’s toxic environment. I’ve found that oxygen therapy has really helped me, particularly after long-term psychiatric drug use: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/how-to-improve-your-brain-function-with-an-oxygen-concentrator

• Oxygen therapy can also help reverse brain damage. It has really helped me after years of psychiatric drug use: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/how-to-improve-your-brain-function-with-an-oxygen-concentrator

• There are also a number of blood tests that people should take if they struggle with depression so that they can get to the root cause. Here are 13 of them: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/13-important-blood-tests-to-get-done-if-you-have-depression

• I absolutely agree. There are also a number of ways to support the endocannabinoid system other than cannabis: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/how-to-stimulate-and-support-your-endocannabinoid-system

• I have hope for a lot of people that haven’t taken these terrible drugs. Synaptic plasticity is real and the brain can recover: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/14-powerful-ways-to-form-new-synapses-in-the-brain

• Very sad. I have hope for a lot of people though. The brain can heal: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/14-powerful-ways-to-form-new-synapses-in-the-brain

• Such an epic list! Thanks! I’m going to share it through my Facebook page.

  I would add saunas to the list: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/13-proven-ways-saunas-can-improve-your-mental-health-dry-hot-benefits-depression-anxiety

• Excellent info. Here are some other ways to lower homocysteine, besides folate: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/16-proven-ways-to-effectively-lower-homocysteine

• Thankfully people can get better and heal after brain damage: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/14-powerful-ways-to-form-new-synapses-in-the-brain

• People don’t start to truly heal until they got off these drugs in my opinion. Then healing can begin and the brain can recover: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/14-powerful-ways-to-form-new-synapses-in-the-brain

• Luckily the brain can heal! https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/14-powerful-ways-to-form-new-synapses-in-the-brain

• There are many different underlying causes of “depression”. Depression is simply a symptom of an underlying problem. These blood tests can sometimes shed light on them: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/13-important-blood-tests-to-get-done-if-you-have-depression

• “Mental illnesses” often result from trauma, as this website addresses. Luckily there are more and more therapies that can help people overcome trauma: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/how-to-overcome-emotional-trauma-without-medication-ptsd

• There are ways to reverse the neurotoxicity though. People can get better. Here is a protocol that has been successful: https://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/a-powerful-protocol-proven-to-help-reverse-brain-damage

• Great article. Psychiatrists should be running these 13 blood tests instead: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/13-important-blood-tests-to-get-done-if-you-have-depression

• Doctors should be running these 13 blood tests before giving out antidepressants: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/13-important-blood-tests-to-get-done-if-you-have-depression

  Psychiatry is complete quackery.

• There are often physical factors that contribute to depression, and these factors often do not originate in the brain. Here are 13 blood tests I recommend people get done if they struggle with depression: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/13-important-blood-tests-to-get-done-if-you-have-depression

  Unfortunately, people are simply given antidepressants without any tests.

• It’s a shame. I’ve been damaged from psychiatric medications as well. I wish I knew what I know now. I wish I could go back. I wish my psychiatrist would have run these 13 blood tests on me before simply giving me antidepressants: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/13-important-blood-tests-to-get-done-if-you-have-depression

• Nutrition is so important. Certain foods can make mental illness a lot worse, and avoiding them can clear up symptoms: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/3-foods-you-should-avoid-for-better-mental-health

• Thanks for sharing this. Here are some other ways to support the endocannabinoid system: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/how-to-stimulate-and-support-your-endocannabinoid-system

• Great info, especially the part about folate and homocysteine levels. Here are some other ways to lower homocysteine for better brain and mental health: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/16-proven-ways-to-effectively-lower-homocysteine

• Great article, lots of research also coming out that certain probiotics can reduce anxiety and stress: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/the-9-most-promising-psychobiotics-for-anxiety

• They should set up saunas at stopover locations. They can help with mental health issues: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/13-proven-ways-saunas-can-improve-your-mental-health-dry-hot-benefits-depression-anxiety

• Very sad. Especially when there are so many better natural alternatives. Inositol being one of them: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/the-little-known-nutrient-that-can-help-treat-anxiety-and-depression-ocd-inositol

• The research behind the benefits of mindfulness is overwhelming. Meditation has really helped me recover, and neurofeedback changed my life. These therapies help because they stimulate the vagus nerve. Lots of studies looking at how the vagus nerve is tied to trauma and mental health. Here are a bunch of ways to activate the nerve: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/how-to-stimulate-your-vagus-nerve-for-better-mental-health-brain-vns-ways-treatment-activate-natural-foods-depression-anxiety-stress-heart-rate-variability-yoga-massage-vagal-tone-dysfunction

• I wouldn’t be surprised if psychiatric medications contributed to demyelination. I sure felt like my brain function had significantly declined while on them, especially during withdrawal. Here are some ways to reverse the damage though: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/25-proven-ways-to-promote-the-regeneration-of-myelin

• Glad you survived and thanks for sharing your story! I have a similar story and have managed to get off all psychiatric medicine myself: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/about/

  Fixing my blood-brain barrier really helped me: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/how-to-repair-a-leaky-blood-brain-barrier-ways-heal-fix-supplements-mental-health-neuroinflammation-treatments-causes-gaba-injury-hyperpermeability

• Yep! I started experiencing cognitive decline while on antidepressants, possibly because they deplete nutrients from the body and brain: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/7-important-nutrients-depleted-by-psychiatric-drugs-antidepressants-antipsychotics-stimulants-benzodiazepines-induced-guide-vitamins-medications

  Thankfully I’m off them now!

• Great article! Neurofeedback treated my “so-called ADHD.” It can be a lifesaver for a lot of people. Much better option than medication: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/the-revolutionary-video-game-that-healed-my-mental-illness

• Great article. Slowly but surely, people are waking up to the fact that mental illness is not because of chemical imbalances. There are a number of underlying factors to consider, and simply pegging depression for example as a deficiency of serotonin is nonsensical.

  Thyroid problems are something that need to be looked at as well. A lot of conventional practitioners don’t recognize that underactive thyroid can contribute to a number of psychiatric problems. Fixing my thyroid really helped me overcome my depression, and hopefully more people become aware of this. These steps really helped me with my thyroid: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/13-ways-to-support-your-thyroid-for-better-mental-health-brain-increase-improve-boost-hormone-t3-t4-hashimotos-autoimmune-depression-anxiety-hypothyroidism-hyperthyroidism-underactive-low-naturally-supplements-mood-disorders-schizophrenia-psychosis

• Great article! And I agree. I hope change comes sooner rather than later. Until then, people will often have to take control of their mental health themselves. I struggled with chronic depression and anxiety for years, got fed up, and abandoned the conventional medical system completely in order to heal myself. Taking care of my thyroid was a big part of my recovery: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/13-ways-to-support-your-thyroid-for-better-mental-health-brain-increase-improve-boost-hormone-t3-t4-hashimotos-autoimmune-depression-anxiety-hypothyroidism-hyperthyroidism-underactive-low-naturally-supplements-mood-disorders-schizophrenia-psychosis

  Anyway, thank you for writing this. I’ll share it on my Facebook page.

• Great post! Thanks for writing this!

  I used to experience a lot of shame and guilt but thankfully I got over it. EMDR and neurofeedback really helped: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/the-revolutionary-video-game-that-healed-my-mental-illness

• You said you have thyroid problems. This isn’t surprising since mental health problems are linked to thyroid dysfunction. Luckily there are many ways to improve thyroid function. These strategies helped me: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/13-ways-to-support-your-thyroid-for-better-mental-health-brain-increase-improve-boost-hormone-t3-t4-hashimotos-autoimmune-depression-anxiety-hypothyroidism-hyperthyroidism-underactive-low-naturally-supplements-mood-disorders-schizophrenia-psychosis

• Great post! A lot of kids have a deficiency in zinc too, contributing to mental illness: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/do-you-have-chronic-stress-and-anxiety-these-two-minerals-might-be-the-cause

  Also, a study just came out today showing cellular changes in the brains of autistic children can be reversed by zinc. It was published in the Journal of Neuroscience! http://medicalxpress.com/news/2016-08-zinc-reverse-brain-cell-autism.html

  The times are a changing!

• Neurofeedback really helped me get my ADHD symptoms under control. No need for drugs anymore! http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/the-revolutionary-video-game-that-healed-my-mental-illness

• The entire trend is ridiculous and very concerning. Antipsychotics deplete critical nutrients too: http://www.optimallivingdynamics.com/blog/7-important-nutrients-depleted-by-psychiatric-drugs-antidepressants-antipsychotics-stimulants-benzodiazepines-induced-guide-vitamins-medications
