More FDA Warnings about Depression Medications Validate Your Natural Approach
 With the number of cases rising dramatically worldwide, depression has become one of the most wide-reaching health issues we presently face. Right now, there are more than 121 million people suffering from depression, including many children. To find relief from the myriad of symptoms caused by depression, an estimated 25 percent of sufferers are taking at least one prescription medication to treat the disease.
The American Journal of Health reports that there are more than 2.7 million prescriptions written for antidepressant drugs each year in the United States alone – and more than 330,000 of these prescriptions are for children afflicted with the disease. Currently, antidepressants manufacturers warn that taking these medications can increase risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in children and adolescents.
What is Depression?
Depression is a condition often marked by a myriad of symptoms, including insomnia, changes in weight and appetite, fatigue and most commonly, prolonged feelings of sadness. Sometimes depression can be tracked to problems at work or in personal relationships, but more often the causes seem inexplicable to sufferers; they simply can’t understand why they feel so down. |
Recently, federal health officials warned that young adults also face an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behaviors when they first begin taking antidepressants and should be warned about the danger. The Food and Drug Administration asked makers of the drugs to expand its warning labels to include adults age 18-24. Many of the pharmaceutical companies making these drugs said they would comply with the FDA's request and update the antidepressant labels.
Although the official warning only applies to sufferers aged 24 and younger, the FDA advises that patients of all ages starting on antidepressants should be "monitored appropriately and observed closely" for suicidal thoughts or behaviors, unusual changes in behavior and worsening symptoms.
These symptoms refer to the multitude of other side effects that may be caused or exacerbated by the use of these antidepressant medications. Some common side effects include:
But instead of simply fearing the side effects of taking prescription or OTC drugs, it’s also important to realize that there are other ways to treat depression. Natural remedies can be very effective in maintaining mental health and well-being, without the risk of major side effects. Recent increased interest in the areas of complementary and alternative medicine shows it is much safer with fewer side effects and has a wide range of treatment options worth exploring.
What is Serotonin?
One of the main regulators of our moods is a brain chemical called serotonin. Serotonin is a type of neurotransmitter, meaning that its presence allows our brain to interpret feelings of happiness, contentment and peace within ourselves. One of the key causes of depression is a lack of serotonin in the brain, caused either by depletion due to outside influences or the brain's inability to regulate the chemical's production. |
For instance, there are natural alternatives to prescription medications that can help depression by actually encouraging the brain to produce more serotonin, something prescription drugs cannot do. St. John's Wort (one of the main ingredients in several Native Remedies' mood and depression products) has been used for centuries as a natural antidepressant and nerve tonic. Instead of simply disallowing the brain to naturally deplete its own serotonin levels, as in the case of antidepressants, natural remedies can help encourage normal brain functioning and the production of serotonin. This in turn helps stabilize moods and emotions, alleviate stress and promote feelings of wellbeing.
Natural Remedies' products are virtually free of any of the major side effects that plague prescription and OTC medications. With these options available, depression suffers worldwide can now rest easy knowing that there really are viable alternatives to conventional medicine. You can fight depression the natural way, and get back to living a fulfilling and balanced life!
"For several reasons, I decided to stop taking the Zoloft which I had been taking for several years. About 2-3 weeks after I stopped taking Zoloft I was not feeling great. I was extremely irritable and pretty emotional. I started taking MindSoothe and using the Mood Tonic Triple Complex Tissue Salts. After 3-4 weeks of taking MindSoothe, I feel like a new person!! Thank you so much. I am thrilled to receive relief through natural methods. By the way, my husband and cats thank you as well as I was about to wring their necks." - Sharon W., TX, USA
"After a pretty rough emotional upheaval, I found that my precious sleep cycle was disrupted. I would wake up in the middle of the night, and be unable to get back to sleep. I tried just about everything, including anti-depressant drugs, acupuncture, sleep therapies, etc. I finally happened upon the Native Remedies website, and discovered Serenite and MindSoothe. I tried them out and slowly but surely, the quality of my sleep began to improve. It's taken awhile, but I feel that I'm almost back to normal. I would say that the best solution to this particular problem is a combination of these herbs and some form of meditation to quiet the body." - Charlie, USA
"You have changed my life!!! I have been suffering from anxiety for years but unaware of it, until it became so debilitating I could no longer pretend nothing was wrong. Before trying the prescription drug route, I found this website and decided to give it a try. While I felt calmer immediately, the real changes came within a couple of weeks. I cannot thank you enough. I sleep better, I can handle everyday stress better, I'm not nearly as irritable, I feel better about myself, and for the first time in years feel genuine peace of mind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will spread the word about this website to anyone and everyone!" - Kim, Washington, D.C., USA
"I have used your Triple Complex Mood Tonic together with your Mindsoothe Capsules for the past six weeks and I am so grateful to report that I am feeling much better. I am not depressed at all and I feel much more positive and ready to tackle daily life. Before I started with your products, I could hardly face each day and was in tears every day, believe it or not. This is also such a relief to my family!" - Tessa, WA, USA
