YOU GOT IT WRONG - Nicole Arzt

The aim of this blog is to highlight persons in the media who tout the chemical imbalance theory as a fact. It's highly unprofessional and misleading to do so and this blog demands that any statements relating to the 'chemical imbalance' myth should either be backed up with supporting evidence or retracted.

Where possible, each person featured on this blog has been contacted via Twitter, email, and/or Facebook and asked to retract their statements or provide supporting evidence.

Once supporting evidence has been shown they will be removed from this blog. Moreover, if they retract their original statements they will also be removed from this blog.

As you will see from these lists, many of the authors are household names and influence those who follow them. This has to stop. The chemical imbalance line was created by the pharmaceutical industry, moreover, Eli Lilly, who launched the first of the SSRIs, Prozac.

Those featured on this list need to do their research.

Article: Trustwide information about Electro-convulsive therapy (ECT)

Quote: "ECT is a carefully controlled electric current passed briefly through the brain, via electrodes applied to the head. This current produces a seizure, which affects the whole brain (bilateral) or just one side (unilateral), including the centres which control thinking, mood, appetite and sleep. Repeated treatments can alter chemical messages in the brain and bring them back to normal. This may help you recover from your illness."
