Re: The Cure-All for 98% of these posts [Re: browndustin]

Well i think that this is an interesting thread.
I dont suffer depression - although I have friends that have in the past. ALl sorts of medications have in almost all casese actually increased the problem, or caused other problems as well. Im not saying not to take meds, but just my observation.
Recent studies suggested that a diet high in Omega 3 had a very positive effect on depressed people and children suffering from attention deficit disorders,
That being said, i doubt that exercise, diet and a formulated and strict sleep cycle would result in a cure for someone suffering a mental disorder - it wouldnt have a hope of fixing a personality disorder, and some of the threads in this forum suggest that as a possible diagnosis.
It would certainly help to manage symptoms but not necessarily cure anything.
I have a condition called dysautonomia - basically the result of a gene mutation that makes my autonomic nervous system over-reactive to standing, etc.
Without bragging, i have a pretty healthy diet - nearly entirely fish and vegetables, I am quite fit (in the last year i have been playing sports and exercising for an hour or more daily), and I get regular sleep most nights (although sleep and dysautonomia can be contradictory at times) and all these things MINIMISE the symptoms of my condition - they do not cure its cause. If i drink ten galons of coffee im still going to get dizzy when i stand or fainting when i stand for 10 minutes, etc.

Nearly everyone who exhibits depression and anxiety also have a BIG lack of motivation... it's reflected in their diet and activity levels, and when you take control of your life starting with the small things, surprise, surprise, everything else starts coming together as well.

Your mind is something very important and something you should cherish. You'd going to be with yourself until you die, so why not take care of it? Some people use drugs to run away, but that doesn't make sense. IMO, get comfortable in your skin, take care of your body and mind. Your body is a temple, a vessel and if you treat it like shit then it's not going to be balanced.

I have more faith that VERY simply taking charge of your life IS more than drugs will ever do. I know this first hand, I've seen family members go through the same things and many friends as well. I tried to help my dad but he's still self medicating himself with opiates and I fear that he may be lost, I'm actually surprised that he's still alive. I think that it really IS just as simple as getting your shit together. In very rare circumstances are people absolutely hopefully without drugs. We have too many labels and drugs for our problems. People need to take charge and take drugs only as a last resort (combined with some serious therapy and life changes).

Yup, I think that, as the post says, 98% of "mental problems" can be cured by getting sleep, exercize and a proper diet.

*nods*

People are hypochondriacts in western society. Everything is an illness. If you're hungry, you have an illness, if you had a hard time taking a shit, you have an illness. And for every illness, there's a million drugs you can take for it. And while I won't particularly argue that they don't "remedy" the situation successfully, they really don't fix the root cause of the problem.

Not medically or scientifically speaking right now, people need to seriously relax. That's all it is, really. They just need to chill the hell out and take one thing at a time. Take control. It's such a simple concept but people don't want to hear it, they want a solution that's just as "complicated" as the problems they think they have.

This was a good weekend for me and if I were to write up a review about what happened and what I did, it would be a text book example of how *insert everything xDYSx said* really helps you to level the mental playing field. And now that I'm grounded, I'll do what I can (or cut what I do too much of) to just keep things relatively balanced. :shineon:

This is very true, though i don't find it hard to believe because of all the focus on health issues these days that gives us a distorted view of how things 'really' are.

I am myself convinced that i'll die sometime in my 30's, because it tells me i'm going to die on every packet of cigs i buy.
All the over dramatized medical programs, and those reality hospital programs we get piped through our TV's don't help either..

If it's not those i'm constantly being told i'm going to die horribly by some charity advertisement,, so i'd better give them my money.
And the news is always showing some kind of health scare.

Takes the piss and we don't need it really  :smile:
I think just that in itself is depressing.

And most of that's all about money, and entertainment ( if i can call it that ).
I think the tobacco companys are just covering their arses, but i do enjoy being told i'm going to die everyday. Fills me with hopes of a bright and prosperous future.  :rolleyes:

Hey I just want to say THANK YOU for this thread.

I was a big yoga/organic vegan/cardio/weight training head and woke up at 7:00am every morning and then I broke up with my girl a little over a month ago and I have just delved into smoking way too much kush and sleeping til noon territory plus junk food and no exercise lately. (Now talk about a run-on sentence!)

This definitely put things in perspective for me.
