Improve Your Mood With Turmeric Root (Curcumin)
"Dr. Sears," C.R. asked me, "I know curcumin is good for treating a lot of things, but can it improve someone's mood?"
This morning, one of the women on my staff, C.R., came into my office to talk to me about her 15-year-old son. He'd been irritable and moody and sleeping a lot lately. Most mornings, he'd miss the bus to school and then stress about being late.

Moreover, inhibiting GLO1 worked much faster than the conventional antidepressant Prozac. (Source: EurekAlert! - Biology)

Despite Rising Rates Of Depression, It's Doubtful We'll See New Drugs
LONDON (Reuters) - It is likely to be at least 10 years before any new generation of antidepressants comes to market, despite evidence that depression and anxiety rates are increasing across the world, specialists said on Wednesday.
The depression drug pipeline has run dry partly due to a “failure of science” they said, but also due to big pharma pulling investment out of research and development (R&D) in the neuroscience field because the profit potential is uncertain.
“I’d be very surprised if we were to see any new drugs for depression in the next decade. The pharmaceutical industry is simply...

Reluctance of healthcare providers such as NHS to pay for expensive drugs is behind lack of research, says Oxford professorNo new drugs fordepression are likely in the next decade, even though those such as Prozac work for little more than half of those treated and there have been concerns over their side-effects, say scientists.Leading psychiatrists, some of whom have been involved in drug development, say criticism of theantidepressants of the Prozac class, called the SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), is partly responsible for the pharmaceutical industry ’s reluctance to invest in new drugs – even thou...

Looks Like Carrie Fisher's Ashes Are Resting In A Giant Prozac Pill
Some of Carrie Fisher’s ashes were scattered near her mother, Debbie Reynolds, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles, California, on Friday morning.
But Fisher, who had her own memorial on Thursday, had the last laugh, as it definitely, definitely looks like her ashes were put inside a giant Prozac pill, which is objectively fantastic. Just fantastic.
I can't be positive, but I think Carrie Fisher had an urn made that looks like a prozac pill which is god damn genius of her.— Cher (@thecherness) January 6, 2017

Side Effects of Prescription Drugs on the Body
One of the biggest problems with medical drugs is that even when they “fix” a problem, they often create another one.
And what do you think the medical industry’s solution for that new problem is?
That’s right… another drug.
Just look at antidepressants…
A solid 10% of Americans take these drugs. So chances you or someone you know is on one…
What are the side effects of antidepressant drugs?
They’re supposed to make you happy. But instead of lifting your spirits, these drugs just make you feel numb to everything. They kill your sex drive and can make you fat, suicidal and violent.1
