I received an angry letter from someone claiming to be a doctor, who had read a few of my articles. he said that I was treating physicians like idiots and criminals. I reassured him that was not my intention. however, I requested that he give me reasons why he would continue to prescribe dangerous medications to patients who have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression when he knows that they do not work. The doctor emphatically insisted that they do work, and that it is only a small majority of cases in which medication has made the patient worse.
I asked the good doctor why not inform the patients of other methods that do not require medication. he replied, There is just not enough research done on those methods. I laughed and said that it seemed to me that there was not enough research on his medications or in the CAUSE of anxiety, especially in women. Women suffer more from major depression and anxiety than do men. Let's look at some of the reasons that this physician claimed why that is. they are not very helpful, but we will take a look at them anyway.
1. Depression in women is twice as common as in men - by the time an adolescent reaches ten years in age, the chemical frequency begins to differ between the sexes, and peaks by mid to late teenage years.
2. Women tend to have an increase in stressors (something that speeds up a reaction) prior to being diagnosed with depression. Anxiety, panic, a greater appetite leading to weight gain, guilt, and a decrease in libido are more often to be seen in women than in men. Studies show that women attempt suicide more often than men. however, men are more successful with the attempt.
3. so again I ask, why is depression more common in women than men? he claims that it may be due to genetic transmission or certain differences the brain structure. Depression has also been linked with the reproductive function.
4. A combination of both depression and anxiety together usually results in treatment difficulties. so I interrupted him and replied, These days, doctors throw medications like Paxel, Zoloft and Buspar around like they are giving away candy on Halloween and all these pills do is make things worse. I know because I use to be a long time sufferer of anxiety as was my wife. after a few weeks of Paxel, I grew even more suicidal than before I started taking it. however, it was much worse for my wife.
5. The doctor continued to say that women with anxiety have much more panic and phobia problems than men. PTSD (Posttraumatic stress disorder) is more common in women than is men. In other words, he had no real information for me, and he was completely satisfied with medicating people.
Why does this happen? Why do women suffer more from Anxiety and depression than men do? no one knows for sure but there is help. There is a real cure without medication or outdated breathing exercises. it takes only a few seconds to implement, and it does not matter where you are. You can do this at home, at work or out in public with friends. Women, You don't have to suffer any longer. Take Action This Method Works.
