| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about the real reason why your serotonin is low and you may be depressed |
| 0:26.8 | or have anxiety. Now most people know that serotonin is involved with their mood. When you look |
| 0:35.4 | this up in any medical physiology book, they don't know exactly for sure what it does, but they do |
| 0:41.8 | know it's related to someone's mood changes. So if there's a problem with serotonin, it can really |
| 0:49.6 | affect your mood, behaviors, and a lot of other things. There are also people who take SSRIs. |
| 0:56.7 | That stands for selective serotonin we uptake inhibitors. Basically they're medications that allow |
| 1:05.0 | you to not absorb serotonin and allow for more serotonin to be used by your body because normally |
| 1:13.5 | you have these uptake or kind of receptors that absorb serotonin once it's being released. So it |
| 1:20.8 | inactivates serotonin. If you inhibit that, you're going to have more serotonin available. These |
| 1:26.8 | are medications and they have side effects. Let me just give you my disclaimer right now. Anything |
| 1:32.2 | that I say, check with your doctor first before implementing. Okay. All this information is based |
| 1:37.1 | on my opinion and some of the studies down below. But there are some really bad side effects with |
| 1:43.3 | SSRIs. Number one, suicide thoughts and suicide actions. Number two, manic episodes. You might have |
| 1:51.7 | excessive energy. Well, that's actually not too bad compared to the other side effects, but you |
| 1:56.0 | also might have excessive happiness, which again, I don't know why someone would have a problem with |
| 2:01.9 | that. But the main side effect is this. And I'm going to pull this up close to 100% of people who |
| 2:08.0 | take antidepressants experience some form of sexual side effects. There's this condition called |
| 2:14.9 | post SSRI sexual dysfunction. And this is a really terrible thing because it can cause genital |
| 2:23.5 | numbness almost to the effect that it feels like someone is using an anesthetic or some type of |
| 2:30.3 | nerve-deadening agent. So basically your genitals have no more feeling. People also experience zero |
| 2:36.9 | libido. They feel kind of wooden and a lack of emotion. Some people don't experience the emotion |
| 2:45.3 | of love. And others just get no pleasure from erections or organisms or anything involved with |
