Myths About Antidepressants<\/p><\/div>\n
This is a belief of many people that antidepressants are pills that are harmful for human health. Such stigma hurts those who need specialist help to treat depression. To change the way we think about drugs for depression, we debunk the top 5 myths.<\/p>\n
Myth 1: Antidepressants are addictive<\/h2>\n
This is one of the most common concerns of patients. According to psychiatrists, antidepressants are not addictive, but must be taken under medical supervision. You cannot decide yourself about the amount you take and about discontinuation because, like any drug, it has an active substance. Self-withdrawal may cause a sudden deterioration of your health.<\/p>\n
Myth 2: Antidepressants can be replaced by physical activity<\/h2>\n
Depression is a severe disease, the patient does not have the strength to get out of bed, get dressed, and go to the store. These daily activities are a quite challenge for him. Of course, you can introduce more activities into your daily life, but that doesn’t mean you can give up on medications without medical consultation. Some studies have found that moderate exercise can help treat depression, just as pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy can, but there is no substitute for them. Nevertheless, if you can motivate yourself to exercise regularly, it will likely improve your mood and overall health. Exercise can be a perfect option for people who are not clinically depressed, but feel a bit depressed.<\/p>\n
