> The pharmacuetical companies are doing great under the present confused situation. Many of us with mood disorders have a hormonal imbalance and will eventually be treated with certain hormonal proteins to correct these imbalances. Compaired to the income that they recieve from AD's that they presently produce, hormonal proteins do not have any where near the potential for revenue. So understanding the causes of mood disorders is not something the pharmacuetical companies are interested in. They have a situation that works for them( their making a great return on their investment), and the Pdocs are happy with the way things are at present. Patients that are helped with the current meds are fine with the things are. They could find out down the road that these meds cause liver, kidney and other damage, so they could change their opinion. People like myself are the ones that are not pleased with the status quo. I have'nt found success with the meds available. I can see in my disorder the evidence points to a endocrine imbalance but endocrinologists are not interested in treating mood disorders after they rule out thyriod problems. Eventually we will have clearer understanding of mood disorders, and appropriate treatments available.
LOL "Eventually we will have clearer understanding of mood disorders, an appropriate treatments available?"When? When we are all dead? Tests are needed NOW! As in, TODAY! The mental health profession is such a load of crap.
