  By Licensed Psychologist Dr Randy Cale Dispelling the myths about antidepressants.

Also then in March of 2022, a really seminal study came out in Science Magazine, which looked at over 300 studies which tried to prove the serotonin deficiency theory behind antidepressants correct. Most of these studies were conduct...

And so folks who have poor habits, who can’t manage their thoughts, who can’t manage their emotions, their sleep, substances, Their sphere of control was very small and very likely their ability to influence others then is very, very limited, right? Be...
