Is it true that the people who use anti-depressants are being remotely controlled by an alien race?

stupid question and stupid uneducated answers as usual.\n   People on AD's are normally taking them because they have been diagnosed with mental health problems, depression being just one of a long list.\n  Depression is a recognised illness and it is estimated that within the next few years it is going to be the biggest illness facing the western world.  The suicide rate amongst people with untreated depression is incredibly high, therefore it is a life threatening illness and should be given the same respect and empathy as any other illness.\nAD's  can be used to manufacture seratonin, the 'happy' chemical which tends to decrease in those living with depression.  Since as humans we function  better when we are happy, it is essential that chemical imbalances are rectified if possible, sometimes prescribed drugs are the only way to help a person who is feeling depressed and has no hope.\nObviously in an ideal world talking therapies would be available as well as drugs, but since here in the UK especially, there is a shortage of trained therapists in the mental health areas, doctors often feel they have no option other than to prescribe AD's, specifically if a person in threatening suicide.\n   Depression is not a laughing matter.  often the person experiencing the thoughts and feelings that accompany the depression really believe they are worthless, of no value to anyone and that those they are close to see them as a burden.\n  The guilt is compounded by people who say 'snap out of it' or 'pull yoursel together' because if it was that simple then there would be no depression.\nit has always been commonly thought that it is 'weak minded' people who succumb to depression, but doctors are now recognising that the stronger people in society are equally at risk because they tend to stay with their problems and find a resolution as well as dealing with the issues of those around them, they assume responsibilty and tend not to walk away from it.\nAD's are not ideal, but they can help someone who is suffering emotionally, mentally and yes, physically.\nDepression is similar to having a physical pain, it is just not possible to point to it, or to explain to a doctor where the pain is.  You know it is there, you just cannot pinpoint it to one area.\n  There is also a huge amount of misunderstanding surrounding the condition because it is lumped in with all th eother mental health conditions and people tend to be afraid and therefore poke fun at those with the illness rather than trying to understand and learn.\n  Since it can affect each and every one of us at any time, the chances are a lot of people on here will at some stage experience it.  So it might be worthwhile taking a step back, cutting back on the judgements and cruel jibes and spending some time actually doing something worthwhile and reading up about it.

Yes. This is true. The beings are called CHUDs.

haha... no. they havn't. people claim but you have to ask yourself logically, why now? why did they get to popular recently. Alien mention isn't very old. it started in like the 70s i think it was. one theory is that those who claim to have been abducted is that they were experiencing something called Sleep Paralysis, where your mind wakes up but your body is still asleep, so you can't move and you start to dream in the waking state, and it's different for everyone, but some do see "aliens"

The virgin Mary is a myth, but aliens do have something to do with all the questions one may have of Gods.  Actually it was a few different races of aliens who are responsible for genetically splitting the humanoid before the current humanoids into genders, for the purpose of slavery.  They use humans like humans use lower animals, just on a more sophisticated level.  Humans and Aliens are  spirits playing a type of virtual reality game.  The Aliens created a senario here on earth for spirits to have a challenge.  The challenge is to find out who you really are while blocking memories of true self, breaking all the obstacles that are set in your path, especially religions, which keep you from discovering who you really are.  Aliens are responsible for all problems that we face since the beginning, but it's only a game.

Yes, researchers know how they work, in detail.  Most of the newer drugs are designed at the molecular level to perform specific functions.  Prozac is a perfect example.  It was the first of what has become an entire class of drugs known as SSRIs, or Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors.  Prozac is used to treat Depression.  by design, it increases the amount of available Serotonin, (a neurotransmitter) in the synapses of the brain, by slowing the rate at which the cells that excrete the serotonin can reabsorb it.\n\nThe man who led the design team has said that he did it just to prove he could.

The former. Or, possibly, slaves from other nations. Why? Because there's no certainty aliens from space exist, therefor the answer must be the latter if limited to the choices given.

Yes, it is the opiate of the masses and has been used for centuries to control people. However it is quickly being replaced by television.

Yes we are aliens. And we have very powerful cameras on our ships, I can see you know, typing on your computer. Seriously, 600 pounds, and wearing spandex? You should be arrested!

No.  There are no aliens in Area 51 and the government is not communicating with aliens secretly from anywhere.\n\nThe government is searching for aliens through radio receivers and none have been found yet.\n\nIf anyone in the world claims to be receiving messages from God, and these messages form correct prophecy or new science, then, yes, someone is communicating with an alien, and it is documented.  To my knowledge this situation does not exist, even though millions of people claim to speak to God.

No.  It can be controlled well for some people better than others, but never goes away.  Some schizophrenics THINK it has gone away and don't take their meds anymore but it really never does.

Actually, you'd be surprised at how accurate that South Park episode was.  Whenever they had "THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE" on the screen, they were NOT kidding.  Yes, the bit about aliens is true.  And yes, it's true, L. Ron Hubbard, the science fiction writer, created a "religion".  Here, I'll explain what it's all about.\n\nIt is a CULT. Despite what a few fanatical members may say, it IS a cult. The church harasses & bullies anyone who they deem an "enemy" (basically anyone who has anything negative to say about the "church"). They will RUIN YOUR LIFE if you speak out against them long enough.\n\nThe founder is L. Ron Hubbard, the science FICTION writer who once told a friend that the best way to make lots of money is to start your own religion. Though being a very outspoken critic of psychiatric drugs, it was discovered upon Hubbards death that the anti-anxiety drug hydroxyzine (Vistaril) was present in his body, which several of his assistants would later attest was only one of many psychiatric & pain medications Hubbard ingested over the years. (visit this link to read about the uses of hydoxyzine: http://www.drugs.com/mtm/v/vistaril.html )\n\nScientologists believe the evil alien ruler Xenu killed a lot of aliens (Thetans) from around the universe by bringing them to earth & blowing them up inside volcanoes. They believe the souls of these aliens (these souls are "Body Thetans") have attached themselves to us & cause many of our mental & physical ills. Members who know about Xenu will attempt to deny it or pretend like it doesn’t matter.  They are required to sign a contract binding them to silence on the matter.  Lower level members don’t know about Xenu & accordingly deny everything because they honestly don’t know.\n\nTo rid ourselves of "Body Thetans" & also “engrams” (past negative experiences stored in our unconscious mind) so that we can become “clear”, we have to go through "auditing" with a member of the “church” who uses an "e-meter" to measure our “reactive mind”...... & we have to pay lots & lots of money for “auditing” (purchased in 12.5-hour blocks, costing anywhere from $750 for introductory sessions to between $8,000 & $9,000 for advanced sessions) & to take courses on Scientology to advance to higher “levels” in the “church”. The “church” has also taken a very hostile stance towards psychiatry & psychiatric drugs irrespective of the fact that some people require medication to remain adequately functional in everyday life. They deny the reality of chemical imbalance & profound mental disturbance & accordingly do NOTHING to effectively stabilize the dangerously unstable. The “church” has been known to withhold prescription pharmaceuticals from member (with deadly results).\n\nScientology is undeniably a cult. For more information on what a cult is & what their damaging effects are, please visit the link provided at the bottom of the sources. Just know that Scientology DOES qualify by meeting these 5 criteria:\n\n(1) It uses psychological coercion to recruit, indoctrinate & retain its members. (2) It forms an elitist totalitarian society. (3) Its founder leader is self-appointed, dogmatic, messianic, not accountable & has charisma. (4) It believes 'the end justifies the means' in order to solicit funds & recruit people. (5) Its wealth does not benefit its members or society.

Of course there is!  I've already answered a few questions like yours.  I have come across an alien-- actually a few.  The ones I met were extremely bright and intelligent.  They have a different way of revealing themselves, than what we might imagine.  We always think of movies and expect to see this "thing" in front of us, but the friends I met were very kind and very subtle in their approach.  I wasn't afraid of them at all.  We tend to heavily rely on what science calls the "five senses".  They, however, use different energy patterns to travel and communicate.  Sometimes, however, they show us their brilliance by revealing their beautiful lights at night--kinda like fireflies showing off in the night.  Other times they are invisible and you just kind of "sense" them around.  There is so much hype about them even after they've been here for eons.  Seems the ancient folks were drawing their crafts in the caves millions of years ago.  What I learned from them was that we have many good helpers watching us and protecting us.  I felt enormous compassion from them.  I really missed them when I no longer felt connected closely to them.  I've been answering questions like yours just because I like folks to know that we have a lot of help here.  There is so much fear about the planet's doom.  The message I received from my "alien" friends was one of hope and joy.  There's still work that needs to be done here, but we really and truly are being joined by a lot of planetary helpers.  I have no doubt about what I experienced as being true.  I was under no influence of drugs or hallucinogens.  I was just asking God for a better way to live.  I was also asking for some hope for my own life and purpose.  I was given an incredible answer by some incredible beings.  I always like to share my experience whether people believe me or not.  So, thanks for your question.  Perhaps some day you too will meet an "alien." \n\nAlso, I am told that at one point there were some very destructive forces that came here to cause chaos.  Those influences are currently exiting this plane.  Yeah!

Based on the people that claim to be visited by aliens, I would think that they see us as total idiots.

A very good question, which are rare on here, not only is it possible it is happening right now, and there is a concerted and concealed effort to do so, the bilderbergs for example have formed to do just that. They would argue that they are doing it with good intentions, but would not dispute that it is their goal.  What you are questioning is often called the New World Order, and its objective is to gain global rule so that they can address "global problems", such as population growth, war, and resource allocation. Now you have asked specifically is it possible for them to succeed, or anyone for that matter, they are just the present frontrunners. And the answer is very complex and the answer is both yes and no, so I will try to summarize my answer in brevity, but understand that i am not given enough room to thoroughly do so.  Yes they can militarily gain control of earth, and probably even crush any substantial rebellions, however when examining the subject in detail you have to look at the "what next", what will their policies be, and quite frankly they are self-destructive, so in gaining control they are really gaining the power which will destroy them. The problem (or mine rather) lies in the fact that countless individuals will die simply for resisiting being enslaved, myself included.  For these global conquerers are not a freedom loving bunch, hence why they believe themselves able to rule a planet full of people.  Now the question of whether individual freedom is right, is a different question entirely, and i certainly don't have the space for that, but I whole heartedly believe it is. And thus believe this to be a very bad thing. So you answer your question yes but at what cost and for how long? Permanently, no.

Yes i think they exist, but they are definitely not on mars as people think,their brain is on mars. It doesn't mean that if on mars everything is suitable for a human,these aliens may have other air, food.. that humans don't that we don't know.The extent of the universe is unknown, there may be many of them or even humans that are many light years from us and they cant reach us.
