antidepressants and spiritual progression

[reeay]

Antidepressants are temporary relief from symptoms. Typically, people decide to take them in conjunction with other therapeutic or healing processes during the 'peak' of their distress. It may be a window of opportunity to set things in order while seeking other, more long-term solutions to problems. I doubt it stops spiritual process completely, unless one becomes rather catatonic while taking meds. My friend recently started taking a type of herbal antidepressant (bc she was breast feeding) and she described her relationship with the medicine as a temporary crutch bc she knew she would feel different once she went back to work. And she's doing great now. An alternative to psychotropic meds is more natural/herbal... those might take time to start working, but it does not have the same side-effects as psychotropics. Another one is probiotic, but not clinically tested. The most long-term effective solution for people is that they engage in some healing or therapeutic process. Meds are short-term relief. I think it's great that you are doing something about your situation.

What is normal like?

What differences are you experiencing?

Any plans for engaging in therapeutic or healing processes?

Big hugs!
