He can only know …
He can only know one small aspect of architecture (i.e.structural, mechanical or electrical systems). He does not understand the aesthetic or social or political aspects of architecture. Neuroscientist are highly educated mechanics tinkering around with hugely complex, multi-faceted beings (the brain). They know “just enough to be dangerous”. Add a quart of serotonin and your problem is solved! The road to is paved with good intentions!

I’m an architect …
I’m an architect who has been labeled depressed and anxious. I fell for the scientific explanation and have obediently taken a.d.s for too many years. Now painfully weaning. Only now do I see how this drug has damaged my relationships and professional life, not to mention my brain. Neuroscientists trying to understand the mind and existential reality of humanity is like an engineer trying to explain the complexity of architecture.

I personally …
I personally believe the problem is in the ‘mind’ of the beholder, and nowhere else. Someone can make you believe you have a problem, or you can believe so on your own. But by treating any ‘mind disorder’ with chemicals, it seems excessive. From past experience, I know the side effects far outweigh the longterm benefits. So I completely disagree with any chemical intrusion on anyone’s brain or body. There are other ways to treat non-physical conditions using non-physical means.

I tried oxytocin as a nasal spray and the effects are pleasant but not enough to treat major depression. Anyway, its probably not good to train the brain to expect massive amounts of love hormones (or any other substance) without there actually being somebody to associate that “love” with. In fact I wonder what happens if you end up using oxytocin for years in a predictable place, say in front of a bathroom mirror, if you would over time come to associate bathroom mirrors with being in love.

While mental …
While mental illness is real we have very little idea of how the brain works. I don’t know if she is right. I do think Tom Cruise IS nuts, and is an IDIOT. While biological psychiatry is deep in it’s infancy- at least they aren’t basing it on Xenu, and body Thetans like Scientology is. Nor are they continually writing books through a founder that has been dead twenty years.

Depression is a …
Depression is a real thing, but it isn’t an illness. The body responds to the mind’s states. Hence, you could measure depression. I’m sure you could measure depression, of someone who just had their family killed. No way anyone’d dare call them sick.

I am sorry you have fallen for all this neurotransmitter yakking. It is not true and there is just a bunch of people making money off of emotions, moods and states of minds.

Mosy psychiatric …
Mosy psychiatric terms are completely made up and false. Psychiatry was created with the sole intent of making money, destroying people minds and adding to the prison planet. Scientology is doing a great job exposing it and that is why scientology is made to look insane in the media and that is why Tom Cruise got fired from his contract and is made to look crazy.

I made a video response to this comment. I added it to nervousneuron’s vid here, but you can also see it in the video list on my channel.

If you have not all ready, you should check out the current research on epigenomic science. I think you would find it interesting, as it seems to follow your train of thought.

You had my respect, even if I disagreed with you, until you typed the words “some things should just be left a mystery”… I thought you were approaching your suspicion of the mental health industry with logic but now it seems to be something else.

why not comsume …
why not comsume plenty of clean water and fish oil along with adding EFA’s into your diet… the brain is cholesterol and water,some claim atrophied receptors begin to respond normally… why not do research into EFA’s and fish oil? Ahhhhh… wait a minute… you can’t patent them…. when you can’t patent them, you have no hope in making money off of them… interesting paradigm we find ourselves caught in…

Examining brains …
Examining brains post mortem after some time on these drugs does not prove it to be right…the drug itself could have caused the structural change…as well as any number of environmental factors/poisons

I’m a programmer and web developer, so I deal with fairly large systems. When you mentioned the “billions of tiny nerve cells” and the challenge of effectively troubleshooting the source of each problem, I can identify with that, albeit on a much smaller scale. Anyway, you’ve got my respect :’)

Ofcourse, they are just being legal, because science knowledge is always changing, because it’s not afraid to say ‘we were wrong’. Though experiments have shown them to presume right.

Nothing shall be a mystery, we must know everything, muwahahahaha!

No probs, I didn’t think of adding links to my description, but I’ll do that! ALso, 5-htp has the same sort of side effects as SSRI (because it adds that serotonin everywhere in the brain, instead of the specific neurons) and it is being used, and there has been more research on the SSRI rather than the 5-htp. And yeah, long term effects arn’t well known, since they are new drugs!

For Zoloft the prescription information say’s “The mechanism of action of sertraline is PRESUMED TO BE linked to its inhibition of CNS neuronal uptake of serotonin (5HT).”
Look up “presumed” in a dictionary.

The mechanism for action for all antidepressants is actually unknown.
Prescrition information for Remeron says, “The mechanism of action of REMERONSolTab® (mirtazapine) Orally Disintegrating Tablets, as with other drugs effective in the treatment of major depressive disorder, is unknown.”
