\"Christmas<\/a>Did you know that the rate of suicide is highest during this time of the year and that 45 percent of all Americans dread the Christmas season<\/span>?\u00a0 We are constantly being told that Christmas is the happiest time of the year, but mental health professionals tell us that the exact opposite is true.\u00a0 For large numbers of Americans, the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas is filled with stress, anxiety, loneliness and family squabbles.\u00a0 And for most people, the reality of the holidays never even comes close to matching up with the glittering ideal portrayed in movies and on television.\u00a0 As a result, depression tends to spike during the month of December.\u00a0 And of course Americans are quite depressed most of the time anyway.\u00a0 In fact, one out of every ten Americans is on an antidepressant as you read this article.\u00a0 No other nation in the world even approaches that level.\u00a0 So right now we are in the midst of the most depressing time of the year in the most depressed nation on the entire planet.\u00a0 What is wrong with this picture?<\/p>\n

A lot of people start to feel down this time of the year, and they don\u2019t realize that there are millions of others that are going through the exact same thing.\u00a0 The following excerpt from a\u00a0Psychology Today article<\/a>\u00a0explains that this is something that happens every Christmas season\u2026<\/p>\n

We are told that Christmas, for Christians, should be the happiest time of year, an opportunity to be joyful and grateful with family, friends and colleagues. Yet, according to the National Institute of Health, Christmas is the time of year that people experience the highest incidence of depression<\/span>. Hospitals and police forces report the highest incidences of suicide and attempted suicide. Psychiatrists, psychologists and other mental health professionals report a significant increase in patients complaining about depression. One North American survey reported that 45% of respondents dreaded the festive season<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So when we get depressed, what do we do?<\/p>\n

Well, we do what we always do for depression.<\/p>\n

We start popping pills.<\/p>\n

Today, America is the most drugged up nation on the face of the Earth\u00a0by a wide margin<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 Just consider the following numbers\u2026<\/p>\n

–Americans account for about five percent of the global population, but we consume\u00a0more than 50 percent<\/a>\u00a0of the pharmaceutical drugs.<\/span>\u00a0 At the moment, the number one selling pharmaceutical drug in America\u00a0is called Thorazine<\/a>.\u00a0 It is used as a supplement to other antidepressant drugs<\/span>.<\/p>\n

–<\/strong>According to the New York Times,\u00a0more than 30 million Americans<\/a>\u00a0are currently taking antidepressants<\/span>.<\/p>\n

–The number of people that are clinically diagnosed with depression is growing at a rate of\u00a020 percent<\/a>\u00a0annually<\/span>.<\/p>\n

–<\/strong>The rate of antidepressant use among middle aged women is far higher than for the population as a whole.\u00a0 It is hard to believe, but right now\u00a0one out of every four women in their 40s and 50s<\/a>\u00a0is taking an antidepressant medication<\/span>.<\/p>\n

-The percentage of women taking antidepressants in the United States\u00a0is significantly higher<\/a>\u00a0than in any other country in the world.<\/p>\n

–Children in the United States are\u00a0three times more likely<\/a>\u00a0to be prescribed antidepressants than children in Europe<\/span> are.<\/p>\n

–<\/strong>If all of these antidepressants are helping, then why are more Americans killing themselves?\u00a0 The suicide rate for Americans between the ages of 35 and 64 increased\u00a0by nearly 30 percent<\/a>\u00a0between 1999 and 2010<\/span>.\u00a0 The number of Americans that die by suicide is now greater than the number of Americans that die as a result of car accidents every year.<\/p>\n

Sadly, most Americans have absolutely no idea that the latest scientific studies indicate that many of these drugs could actually be quite dangerous<\/span>.<\/p>\n

For example, one recent study found that children that take antidepressants\u00a0are more likely to attempt suicide<\/a><\/span>\u2026<\/p>\n

High doses of brain-altering chemicals marketed as \u201canti-depressants\u201d increase the likelihood of self-harm, rather than decreasing the risk, say Harvard health scientists in a study that analyzed data on 162,625 people.<\/p>\n

Drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI\u2019s) may raise the risk of suicidal behavior in children and young adults, according to the analysis. SSRI\u2019s are the chemical substances which make up the antidepressants Prozac and Zoloft.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur findings offer clinicians an additional incentive to avoid initiating pharmacotherapy at high-therapeutic doses,\u201d Harvard School of Public Health researchers said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another recent study found that pregnant mothers that take antidepressants are more likely to have babies\u00a0with brain defects<\/a><\/span>\u2026<\/p>\n

Almost one in five children born to mothers taking antidepressants during pregnancy have a brain defect \u2013 called a \u201cChiari type 1 malformation\u201d \u2013 according to a groundbreaking study by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.<\/p>\n

The study, titled Rate of Chiari I Malformation in Children of Mothers with Depression with and without Prenatal SSRI Exposure, was published May 19 in the peer-reviewed journal Neuropsychopharmacology.<\/p>\n

The researchers found that \u201cchildren of depressed mothers treated with a group of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) during pregnancy were more likely to develop Chiari type 1 malformations than were children of mothers with no history of depression,\u201d according to their press statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Perhaps popping pills is not the solution after all.<\/p>\n

.If you are battling depression, one of the key things to do is to look at your diet.<\/span>\u00a0 What we eat and what we drink plays a massive role in how we feel and how our brain functions.\u00a0 If you start eating better, your life will improve in a multitude of ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

And certainly there are natural ways to battle depression.\u00a0 If you want to learn more about this, Natural News\u00a0has some great articles<\/a>\u00a0on the subject.<\/p>\n

But more important than all of those things is the fact that most Americans today simply do not have anything to live for<\/span>.<\/p>\n

These days, most people just seem to be living for themselves.<\/span>\u00a0 They chase one form of entertainment after another, hoping that something will eventually fill the gaping holes that are constantly aching inside their hearts.\u00a0 Many go to their graves never finding the fulfillment that they were desperately searching for all of their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have got to have something to live for that really matters.<\/span>\u00a0 That is something\u00a0that I have found<\/a>, and it has made all the difference.\u00a0 No matter how broken your life is right now, the key is to never, ever, ever give up.\u00a0 As long as you keep fighting, there is always hope that things can be turned around.<\/p>\n

So don\u2019t give in to depression this Christmas season.<\/p>\n

Yes, this world is an incredibly messed up place.<\/p>\n

Yes, things are going to get a lot worse in the years ahead.<\/p>\n

But that doesn\u2019t mean that the future has to be bleak for you.<\/p>\n

The best chapters of your life could be right around the corner, so don\u2019t you ever, ever give up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
