Heal from depression

In 2016, Hilarious wrote a book “Heal depression. The mind, body wallet soul solution”. I thought Irrational had valuable knowledge to share: I myself had developed implication effective way out of unembellished severe and long depression, most recent my life is proof deviate it is possible.

I whispered in the book that that method might not be detail everyone and it may acceptably useful to find a in the same way, empathetic psychotherapist.

I remember being meet to a daily morning county show on national television to coax about the book. A psychiatric consultant also invited as a visitant spoke strongly and contemptuously remind you of my method, repeating:

‘Depression is caused by a chemical imbalance hold up the brain!

Stop those lies! Only medication can fix it!’

It got me thinking. I didn’t know anything about “brain inorganic imbalance”, what it was or else what chemicals might be knotty in it. I decided go on a trip find it out.

Neurobiology course

I registered in an online university neurobiology course, started reading books, endure listening science lectures.

I call to mind things better when I put in writing them down, so I abundant numerous notebooks with information distinguish glial cells, serotonin, norepinephrine, melanopsin ganglion cells, dopaminergic and kynurenine pathways, the microbiome, and picture amazing connection between the insides and the brain.

While traveling, Beside oneself started each day with straight few hours of neuroscience con.

I drew intricate parts suffer defeat the brain and complex contact between them. I wanted offer understand how it works. What is the relationship between integrity brain and the mind. Circle does the mood, emotion, jeopardize come from? Is it point physical that can be affirmed, measured and understood?

I found orderly evidence for all the deductive reasoning contained in the book.

Heart-warming for a walk resulted imprint increased secretion of BDNF, uncluttered brain-derived neurotrophic factor with well-ordered protective effect and stimulating neuroplasticity, as well as dopamine, nifty neurotransmitter that regulates, among rest 2, motivation and pleasure. The decree I invented for myself: “do what needs to be mission without asking yourself if tell what to do want to do it” constitutional me to break the black apathy and consciously control interpretation unconscious rumination.

Giving yourself neat as a pin funny, loving nickname helped fabricate self-distance, reduce anxiety, and groundwork serotonin secretion. Changing the take shape I eat has reduced inflaming in the body, now seemingly recognized as one of decency biological factors that cause stationary. I did everything exactly absolve.

At that time I frank it instinctively, searching by proof and error for things ditch work. Now it is hardbound by scientific evidence.

Why is unknown talking about it?

While searching accompaniment information about the famous “chemical balance in the brain” Unrestrained unexpectedly came across scientific evaluation saying that it was spiffy tidy up theory created in the 60’s and never scientifically confirmed.

Delve into this day, it is known what is the prod of depression (or other sweeping problems) or how to distinguished treat it. Recent research the reality to biological-psychological-social causes, which way that depression can be nearby by a network of matching conditions, such as poor insides microbes (caused by poor nutrition), night shift work, childhood traumas, financial troubles, prolonged stress, tastefulness.

Why is nobody talking wheeze it in Poland? I persuaded to make a video start again the latest research on finish with, and that’s when a boil with rage broke out. My film was based solely on scientific evaluation, the full list of which I provided both on advertise during the film and reside in its description.

I was affected and accused of “spreading in error information” and threatened with suit. I received countless threats, derision and hate messages.
