If a cure for depression was ever found, you'd be fighting a lot of very rich and very powerful companies with a vested interest in keeping people on their products forever

I'm not a doctor or health professional of any kind.

But my friend showed me a study a while back of turmeric supplementation and how it can be comparable and in some cases more effective than prozac: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23832433/

I started taking 450-900mg daily and noticed an increase in optimistic perspective and seeing "the point" of doing things during rut of burnout after quitting my last job. Just my story. This is not health advice.

As long as the US continues the war on drugs, maybe 2 or 3 generations, based on how marijuana research is playing out.

There was a quite promising study treating depression with psychedelics. Study precipitants reported 3 months of relief from a single dose. I think it was paired with therapy. One study is hardly conclusive. I'd love to see more of those studies.

That's the only thing left until our World is indistinguishable from a Brave New one.

Probably forever because there's no money in cures.

Never. While helpful, this is not a cure.
