Trauma leaves lasting wounds, but numbing pain with drugs and alcohol only deepens the suffering. Although self-medication may seem like an escape, it damages the body and creates new chains of dependency. The path to healing is not easy, but it is possible. With therapy, support, and healthier coping mechanisms, people can face their fears, overcome their inner demons, and take back control of their lives.
Antidepressant use has soared over the past two decades, with the UK alone seeing a doubling in prescriptions since 2008. While medication can be life-changing for some, concerns are growing around its overprescription, especially for patients who may not need long-term pharmacological treatment. From the reluctance of GPs to offer fast-acting relief to the alarming trend of children being medicated, it’s time to ask, are we medicating emotion at the expense of wellbeing?
Before you type, think twice—behind every article is a human trying their best. Negative comments have consequences, especially for those already battling mental health challenges.
Trauma is the emotional and psychological response to an event—or series of events—that overwhelms a person’s ability to cope. It’s not just about what happened, but how it made you feel: unsafe, powerless, or deeply shaken. Trauma can stem from a one-time incident like an accident or loss, or from long-term experiences like abuse, neglect, or living in constant fear.
While neurostimulation holds promise as a treatment for depression, it’s essential to approach the idea of “bio-hacking” with caution. More research is needed to determine the long-term effects and ideal usage of these methods. If you or someone you know is considering neurostimulation, it’s crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Depression doesn’t happen without cause. It’s not a weakness or a choice — it is a reaction to pain, pressure, and often unimaginable hardships. Understanding the many reasons why someone may be suffering is the first step toward compassion, not judgment. Whether the cause is trauma, genetics, loss, or societal pressures, every person fighting depression deserves understanding, support, and the knowledge that their pain is real — and that healing is possible. Everyone’s journey is different, but no one should have to walk it alone.
In a world that often demands strength and composure, it’s vital to remember that everyone carries emotional wounds, whether visible or hidden. No one is immune to life’s trials. From grief and loss to the profound effects of trauma, our emotional landscapes are shaped by what we endure. While some may find ways to grow through their pain, others may still be searching for light. Compassion—for ourselves and for others—is the bridge that allows healing to begin. By acknowledging that emotional scars are part of the human experience, we not only foster empathy but also create space for deeper understanding and connection.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), the demon inside my head that relentlessly causes me to have intrusive thoughts and that’s when the rituals begin. The counting, the cleaning and checking never stops.
