Yesterday I advised somebody that physical activity is highly beneficial for mental health and can help more than medications would alone. The community did not like that. I am here again to remind you that physical activity is Paramount to mental well-being. Go out and garden. Take a walk in the park. Go for a jog, whatever it may be that gets you out of your current location and allows you to reflect and think.
Are you suggesting nobody needs medication?
No, I’m not suggesting that. That’s why I said some people, not everyone. There are certainly cases where medication is absolutely the only answer, but time has shown that, in US particularly, doctors are reaching to medication for milder cases of depression etc. before even prescribing lifestyle changes and supplementation like vitamin D etc.
Okay cool. So what do people who don’t require medication have to do with the experiences of people who do require medication?
I personally subscribe to the idea that what goes on between someone and their doctor isn’t my business. Basic pro-life pro science.
“Define requiring medication” is about as relevant the question as “what is a woman.” Which is a level of thinking I’m not going to acquiesce.
