>have had crippling depression / anxiety for years and years

>turns out I now feel perfectly fine after taking DAILY FISH OIL TABLETS
What the fuck? I looked this up, Omega-3 fatty acids are massively helpful for depression. More helpful than SSRIs. Everyone already knew this, apparently.
WHAT THE FUCK. THE MEDICAL PROFESSION IS A MEME
>>29735888
They over medicate because the big money is behind it.
Stimulants have a better effect than SSRIs. I've just started taking krill oil. We'll see how that goes.
bullshit. I always take a multivitamin with fish oil and have been depressed for years
fuck off with your meme hipster scarf shit and post on /weed/ or something
>>29735888
Let me guess. You also never thought exercise and diet would never help depression either let alone fix it?
>>29735929
It just blows my mind. I can see how it works now. It's not even as if anyone involved is particularly "evil". Nobody lied to me, exactly. It just wasn't in anyone's interest to tell me about FISH OIL TABLETS. JESUS CHRIST.
It's not even like it's alternative medicine. There are peer-reviewed studies that show it works great.

>muh placebos work guys. trust me ;)

Trips for truth

Those aren't tablet bruh, those are gelcaps. I hope thats what you meant. You don't even know what you're taking.
>I-I'm totally not a shill or anything, but le SSRIs are evil and fish oil saved my life XDD
>>29736046
How is this shilling though? OP is blasting SSRIs and advocating an all natural solution not controlled by the jews
>>29736046
Why would you ever shill against fish oil? I have a fish-void diet as-is, you nigger-wiener.
>>29736068
>No one profits from the sale of fish oil at all. It's free.
>>29736046
you really think fish oil companies shill here? on r9k?
come on man
>>29736102
You can buy it from a myriad of producers or make it yourself. Are you really going to pretend its even remotely the same as prescription medicine?
>>29735888
Vitamin D + Omega 3 is better than all the AD medications I've tried (Except Dextroamphetamine, but that only works short term)
What other medicines can help a robot out?
I already take sleeping meds, never heard about fish oil.
Maybe I oughta try
>>29735888
this is a good thread and i hope anyone who has been on SSRIs for an extended period of time tries getting off of them at least for a while. just see how much better you feel.
that shit is bad for you.
if you still feel like shit, get yourself tested for vitamin deficiencies and if you're on the low end or deficient of normal for stuff like vitamin d or b12, supplement and see if you feel any better.
>>29736180
Why is it bad for you?
>>29736108
It's about as probable as prescription companies shilling here, which is not at all.
>>29736128
I am a robot man, with a robot wiener.
I am pretty sure that you are as dumb as this fucking bluepilled idiot >>29736214
>>29735992
>multivitamin with fish oil
Nigger, you need grams of w3 to feel anything, your retard pill contains a few milli grams of omega3s
>>29736014
show us those articles
>>29736251
over weeks, it feels way better than nothing man
>>29736201
Google brain zaps
>>29735888
nutrition and exercise in general has a massive impact on mental health. but yeah fish oil is The Shit for depression. so is a nice cup of coffee in the morning imo
>>29736108
Big Fish Oil pls go
>>29736442
Yeah you caught me
I'm literally a giant fish oil pill
>>29736442
Someone marketing an antidepressant? On /r9k/? I can't decide if that's crazy or likely.
>>29735888
SSRIs are a meme
Hopefully ritalin isn't. I mean, students without ADHD wouldn't buy it if it was a meme, would they?
Ritalin makes you measurably better at literally everything, temporarily. It's just like caffeine but more so.
The meme about ritalin is that it's an ADHD medication. It makes a normal person even better as well.
But I don't recommend it, because in the long-term it will build up a tolerance. People should be thinking about long-term strategies.
>>29736442
oh my god what is that chemical
is that sugar
i want to eat it
>>29736765
It's an omega-3 fatty acid. You can find it in oily fish and many other foods, such as extra-virgin olive oil and flax seed.
>>29736814
why don't you make a thread about it slut
>>29736844
I'm sure there are some on /fit/. N-no homo
>slut
Lewd!
>>29735888
Switched to liquid fish oil instead of pills big difference, I also sup 5k iu of v-d3 every other day. Made a difference in my mental health and workouts.
