> LinkadgeIf you go to the sites of clinics that do brain spectrum studies, you'll find exactly the opposite message: taking appropriate medication actually re-establishes a healthy brain. Google the Amen Clinic for one example of this point of view.
Also think about it in terms of personal experience: when does it seem to you that your brain is most healthy? When you're suffering from depression or mania or whatever your particular problem is, or when you're taking effective medication (and I emphasize effective)? For me, there's no doubt that my brain functions better on medication. I've been taking antidepressants for close to 15 years now, and I certainly don't see any indication of deteriorating brain state. If antidepressants do indeed fry my brain cells, surely there would be some sign of it by now. I think the article is just another attempt at scare-mongering by someone with a particular axe to grind.
