Depression is not being reducing, but increasing more by taking such drugs

Due to increased stress and busy routine, the problem of stress and depression in people now a day has become very common. Situation is that people often get annoyed with small things, due to which the level of stress is increasing. This growing stress in our life is making us weak in both mental and physical forms.

Over the last few years, there has been a lot of research on anti-depressant medicines i.e. antidepressants. There are also discussions about their side effects; even doctors are not unanimous about these medicines. Antidepressants are being used in many other diseases besides depression. Some time ago, a survey was conducted in five different cities in India like Mumbai, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Guwahati and Tiruvalla from a Japanese institution; they found that approximately 50 % of the patients were consuming antidepreatant without depression. Their symptoms are similar to depression, due to which the doctors are giving them these medicines.

A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association also found that in almost 45 % of cases, the advice of taking antidepressant is being given in different diseases. These medicines are being given in conditions like migraine, angiabetes, nerves problems, and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and chronic pens. In addition, these medicines are being given in premenstrual syndrome, insomnia and sexual diffusion. It has been said in the report that many times doctors prescribe these medicines in other diseases. Although their dose is fixed for a limited time and consuming them for a long time can be harmful for health.

Why not only antidepressants ?

Four kinds of anti-depressant medicines are available since the first time these medicines came in the year 1950. These medicines affect the functioning of the chemicals in the brain, but what has been their role in the depression is not fully understood, so these medicines do not work equally on all patients. They benefit in some symptoms of depression but do not work on the root cause of depression. This is the reason why they are given with medicines to treat the causes of depression,

Overdose of any drug can be heavy on life. In Punjab last year, the police had caught an antidepressant drug racket, which included some doctors who were giving overdose of medicines to the patients. Many of these medicines are readily available and they are being consumed to commit suicide. Depression, schizophrenia and many patients of insomnia have seen their addiction.
