The Science of Fasting

My mom is becoming one of those people who is adamant about throwing pills at everything. Especially when it comes to mental health. Her first reaction is to always say “they need to be on Prozac!”

I went off on her the other day for saying it about my cousin. I’m like it may help her to feel a little better bc she’s going through some ish but the reality is that if she fixed x,y & z and resolved those issues, she’d be 1,000x happier AND have low stress because she’s resolved her problems which is better long term.

Don’t get me wrong, antidepressants have been life-saving for many people and have their place but when your “depression” is caused by going through some crappy life situations and failing to resolve the issues and find solutions, how good is the pill really in the long run?
