He asked if I was taking medication and I said yes.

He then said, 'No. Medicines aren't good for you. You only feel better when you take it and it has the opposite effect when you come down from it.'

He said, 'Stop taking medication and live happily, okay? Have strength, okay?'

Depression is actually a clinical diagnosis, where the chemical imbalance of the brain causes the illness. It needs to be treated with medication therapy, combined with other necessary treatments.

Honestly, what Baekhyun said about psychiatric medication was right. "Suicidality" is a commonly listed side effect of anti-depressants. There are more effective and natural ways to treat depression safely without the damaging effects of psychiatric drugs. Please, don't blindly accept everything psychiatrists tell you. Do you know anyone prescribe a SSRI that was tested for a chemical imbalance? Did you ask your doctor to test your blood before taking psychotropic medications? The concept of a "chemical imbalance" as a feature of depression and other disorders has been debunked. There is no proper test or anything that shows what brain chemical balance actually is.

In his book Blaming the Brain: The Truth About Drugs and Mental Illness, Elliot S. Valenstein, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Michigan, states,"It may surprise you to learn that there is no convincing evidence that most mental patients have any chemical imbalance. Yet many physicians tell their patients that they are suffering from a chemical imbalance despite the reality that there are no tests available for assessing the chemical status of a living person's brain." Dr. Valenstein's book Blaming the Brain, shows the errors that underlie belief in biochemical theories of so-called mental illness and in the effectiveness of psychiatric drugs.
