Depression

Is everything we think we know about depression wrong?

Or, more accurately, is everything we know about depression from the marking departments of drug companies that sell anti-depressants.

One of the biggest scandals, I think, that will sometime break will be about how drug companies are controlling the narrative on how we think about health.

I think it is highly probable that our entire conversation about transgenderism is being funded by companies who sell puberty blockers and hormones that transgender patients will need to take for the rest of their lives. It would be very good for them if health insurance companies are politically forced into paying for those drugs for as large a patient pool as possible. Ask yourself this: is this paranoid scenario more likely or is it more likely that for 10s of thousands of years there have been countless number of human beings walking around in bodies that aren't really who they are?  I say we ask a smart computer the question.
