Flashback Friday - Natural Alternatives to Prozac

In this video, author and mental health educator Douglas Bloch talks about five different ways to change your brain chemistry besides taking antidepressants. They are exercise; Omega 3 fatty acids; the herb St.John's Wort; the amino acid-derived SAM-e; and Ketamine. He advises that these should be done under medical supervision.

Thank you so much Douglas for your time on KZbin, love listening to you! ♥️🙏🏻 I have depression since having Covid last year, hard to deal with. Some days i feel okay and then depression hits. Thank you for all your work! Lots of love from the Netherlands ♥️

[@DouglasBloch]

Lots of love to you too. The Netherlands is a very cool country. I visited there in 1982.

[@pilarkrol]

@@DouglasBloch you are so kind, i would love to live elsewhere, a beautiful land with mountains, palmtrees, blue see and beautiful nature🌴🌺⛰️🌊. A country with kind and empathic people who care for eachother, that is my wish for the future ;). Lots of love sending your way ❤️🙏🏻

Excellent video!! We are SO going to discuss this on Sunday(live chat) I hope! I love how your channel is well rounded and also touches on all natural remedies. ~Spreading the word about that natural healing is so important because sometimes we as people aren't even aware that it's an option. It works💓~~~~~>💓°•○☆💕

[@tuesdaynickerson7885]

Thank you . I’m suffering with anxiety. I’ve had it for over 20 yrs . The panic attacks are subsiding but , I’m still having issues with agoraphobia. I’m not on a daily med . Hoping to heal without them .

[@zenakassab5455]

Very interesting thank you!

[@pmbluemoon]

I love your jokes at the start of your videos :) Have you looked into how these therapies have evolved since you made the original video (ketamine)? Thank you as always, I wish I was up early enough to catch your live streams! (I'm a night owl, noon is my normal wake up time, and I usually don't get to feeling social until around 3 or 4pm if it's going to happen at all for the day) I hope you have a great weekend!

Ketamine has a 50% success rate

[@pmbluemoon]

@@garysimone4977 Better than some of the other pills out there it seems.

[@richneuman9113]

Very informative video, Doug. FYI, Menninger is pronounced with a soft g, as in giraffe

[@DouglasBloch]

Cool, thanks

[@Plethorality]

Here for the jokes : )

[@martinodelsol]

No vitamin D?

[@DouglasBloch]

Very good point. Although many medical doctors don’t agree, I think vitamin D is important for mental health

[@bpggg]

My hobby is psychopharmacology and you are mainly on the mark. However, since when has Ketamine been a "natural" substance?

[@DouglasBloch]

You got a point. Ketamine is an alternative to Prozac, but it is not natural
