Antidepressant doesn’t work
Depression is simply a label given to people who have mood swings most of the time,
have lost interest or pleasure in activities,
it was called “melancholia” back in the olden days.
In
the ancient days people describe depression as a spiritual or mental illness
. Depression is not a
one –size-fits-all, but it is very common.
Depression is one of the most everyday problems seen
in the primary care of medicine, and later on it will be the leading cause of disability in United
States. Nowadays the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) deceive us to believe that taking
antidepressants does work, but the
idea of taking anti-depressants pills doesn’t cure depression; it
actually causes a lot of harm to the body.
All anti depressant pills
is proved to be the effective treating for depression, but
they cause a wide range of constipation, sweating, trembling and difficulty sleeping.
Depressions
have different causes, effects, and treatments that can be done, to help diminish depression, even
though there is no cure for it.
The Journal of American Medical Association
says, “ SSRI’s (
serotonin-specific reuptake
inhibitors)
like Paxil and Prozac are no more effective in treating depression than placebo pill”.
This means that patients are better off responding to a sugar pill to boost than taking an actual
pill. The article goes on to say that although SSRI are effective to some degree when it comes to
treating severe depression, but they don’t have any effect on the type of depressions that they are
most often use to treat.
This shows us that people shouldn’t bother to get treated to depressants
drugs because they can cause more harm to your body and instead we can focus on other
alternatives.

Matter of fact the success rate of taking antidepressants is considered just about 50 percent
improvement in half of depressive systems. And this shows results of minimal result being
achieved in less than the patients taking the drug.
One thing that makes it worse is the fact that
86 percent of people taking antidepressants have one or more side effects, including sexual
dysfunction, fatigue, and insomnia, loss of mental abilities, nausea, and weight gain.
A video
from the healthtalk.org shares numerous stories of people with depression. According the
website, half of the people who try antidepressants quit after four months. Because the number of
side effects, out weight the purpose of getting recovered.
Its seems like now days the ultimate goal of most drug companies is to stress an
individual to have some type of drug in our blood streams whenever we feel like there is
something wrong with us. It is easy to become convince into thinking taking a pill might relieve
your pain, especially when it comes with the endorsement of your physician. Feeling depressed
is never a pleasant thing to endure with, and as humans, we are always trying to find a quicker
way to get rid of something that is bothering us. But drugs or medicine shouldn’t always be our
first choice, and antidepressants are no exception.

it is should be a brief, compelling argument that is well reasoned and
well evidenced.

audience to have in mind as you communicate your message. (It could be a university paper or a
regional newspaper).
At the top, TITLE the argument with a short title (related to the problem or claim) that conveys something to
give the reader an idea of the issue that you frame in the introduction.
Do not type your name, or the course number, or other identifying information on the paper (this
information will appear automatically with your paper in Blackboard).
Start by framing a PROBLEM that your argument aims to address.
Don’t make the problem too narrow or too broad.
Give EVIDENCE of the
existence and severity
of the problem.
Part of a good argument is establishing why your listeners/readers should care about listening to
your proposal.
Present a PROPOSED SOLUTION to the problem. This is your main CLAIM.
As might be appropriate USE QUALIFIER(s) to
qualify your claim
as regards e.g., its scope,
its degree of certainty, and exceptions that may exist.

The components do not need to appear in any particular order; place them in the order that
works best to support your claim.

On what basis is your claim plausible?
State WARRANT(s) or GENERAL PRINCIPLE(s) to serve as a
foundation of the argument
and to show
the
logical connection of your claim with its supporting grounds
.
State the BACKING for your general principle/warrant.
On what basis is your W/GP reliable?
Articulate a possible OBJECTION OR ALTERNATE VIEW, and
defend your position against it.
ARGUE by CONSEQUENCES: What is like to be the case if you claim is and is not accepted?

clear
in the mind of your
listeners/readers.
Don’t be repetitive: re-state the main point in different terms.
Include with your written argument a
source list
with correct citations (use the citation style of your
choice).
