Haha, I used to joke that the body and mind ARE connected-that’s why we have a neck!😆 It would seem however that my Anatomy professor was NOT amused... ☹️
I've long wondered why mental illness is stigmatized as some personal weakness when it is treated physically with drugs that affect the brain and other hormonal functions. Yet the psychological/ psychiatric profession writes prescription with just a few minutes of "consult", and no in depth diagnostic. The damage these drugs do is known yet they are recklessly prescribed.
An old friend of mine that I grew up with was always the most laid back, sweetest guy you ever met. State champion athelete, successful in business. Women loved him. His doctor gave him a bottle of adderall to help him focus. Two months later he woke up from a blackout and was informed by the cops at his door that he had shot and killed his father the previous night. He spent the rest of his short life in prison. He died at the age of 30. I've never seen a man so hollowed out and heartbroken in my life. I subsequently learned how many school shooters were under the influence of psychotropic drugs. No one is going to convince me this isnt a factor. The news blaming this on nothing but guns does a profound disservice to society and the victims.
Interesting, I agree. I would also say that politicians in the USA on both sides give no craps about people AT ALL. When kids are killed 99.9% of them just shrug it off. Some may disagree with this comment when you see the D's looking to confiscate guns. However I would argue, I would say accurately, that they are trying to disarm Americans because they want to disarm Americans. Not, I repeat, not to save anyone's life.
Absolutely spot on. Medicine junk food processed food video games and NO love within the home. My opinion and I love the fact that he's addressing all these issues😅
Shows how captured our government officials are by Pharma companies that the connection with SSRIs and mass shootings is never talked about. Lobby money trumps mental health every time. Thanks for reporting on this connection.
Psych meds almost killed me. Not only did I lose almost everything (career, money, reputation) it took 15 years without any drugs to resurrect my life from the ashes. Thank you, Mike, for having the courage to broach this subject.
Psych medications are seen as a quick and easy answer to difficult questions and tough situations. People are lazy; they want answers and solutions now. This latest school shooting was the first I've seen where a female was the shooter. She may have been taking testosterone, I don't know. But it does appear to be a predominantly male problem where most of the males are relatively young. I guess when you combine testosterone at high levels with poor diet, poor lifestyle and psych medications, its a recipe for disaster
I have really to say blood sugar control should not be underestimated. Unbelievably I used to try and do fasting while working 12 hour physical shift work having had broken sleep and would drink a lot of coffee. I cannot tell you how angry I could become it was truly scary. 😬 It was like temporary insanity.
Right on dude. Bad sleep mixed with coffee and lots of physical activity leads to me snapping. Pretty scary sometimes. Can also tell my mental state is messed up the next day of I eat a good amount of sugar the nights before. Very easily agitated
It's anecdotal, I know, but I've witnessed blood sugar having a direct influence on agressive behavior. My dad had poorly controlled diabetes and was a raging a-hole as a result. Almost all of my childhood memories are of him yelling. He would even admit to these episodes being caused by high blood sugar. My maternal grandmother was a sweet Christian lady, but we could tell when her sugar was high because she would turn angry and belligerent. Same for my diabetic brother.
Its also why, FASTING and NO SNACKING between meals, are important Wow, if it wasnt the 🚬🚬🚬 cigarettes, its the junk😞 We need to get to bed..before 11pm No TV..or smartphones And wake up at a decent hour
I nominate Mike Mutzel for director of health and human services! We need common sense and action to protect our children. We need to start by feeding our children real food. Thanks Mike for your well researched videos.
My brother was put on antidepressants. He also is a junk, processed food junkie. What a mess!😱My brother became angry, bitter and violent on the drugs. I decided to visit his psychiatrist to let him know that my brother was getting out of control irrational and aggressive. The psychiatrist was not interested in how my brother was doing on the drugs and simply asked me to leave. 🤷🏻♀️ I’m sorry but I don’t believe the medical professionals care about their patients well being, the care about moving everyone along and the pay check at the end of the week.
Yea it's like they are programmed to dish out pills. Turned into robot pill pushers that see everything through a lens of "treatable with a pill", "must use pill for everything". Imagining a different perspective isn't even in their reality.
Well...to be fair....Doctors can't talk to you about their client unless your name is on the paperwork to release information to. It doesn't matter why you went to the doctor...they will not listen to/talk to someone whose name isn't on any of their clients paperwork
They don't talk to people who actually care for their patients. If you were part of the psychological abusive system, that drugs up your brother, they'd love to have you participate in his treatment. If you're on the patient's side, you're not allowed.
@@LadyWolfeRyder Bullshi*. They give a bleep about privacy. They have no problem in having - for example - abusive partners/parents join their "treatment". It's the nice people, who question the "treatment", they start to care about "privacy". 😂
@kareendeveraux1847 Yeah...that's called "group therapy". There's a difference between that and HIPAA. Look it up. If they release information to someone that went in to talk to the doc without the Patient knowing and that person isn't on the paperwork then the doctor could be sued and their license taken away
The mental health of others is another reason why I am hesitant to send my kids back to public school. We started homeschool this year. It’s been rough, but it’s getting easier. My kids are well behaved, and well adjusted. As we raised them I always told them I want them to help set an example for their peers. They don’t have to be the smartest, I just want them to be kind. Help out their peers if they need, and be welcoming because there are other kids who are not as fortunate as they are. They never disappointed me, but at this point I don’t feel good putting them back in a public, or private school. I have enjoyed the journey of learning to teaching them their school work. If there are any soon to be, or parents of young kids out there, get ahead of the schooling. We already teach them everything else as they’re children. Though I do understand that not everyone has the temperament to do it. It can be very rewarding though.
@Dancer & The Soldier go for it. More people have the skill for it than you might think. There are pods of home schooling for the less fortunate usually. They have plenty of extra curricular stuff now, too.
I have an adopted child who has major mental health issues. She is 14 and we had to place her into a residential facility because she was going to kill herself or me of the other kids. She was given a loving home, we fed her healthy nutritious food. Even took her to a functional doctor that did a full two cycle cleanse and added multiple vitamins. It does get worse with junk food but diet and nutrition didn't fix it. There are true mental issues out there that can't be fixed with nutrition.
A few years ago, a family member was told by friends, teachers, doctors, that all she had to do was take a pill and she'd feel better. Anytime I brought up other physical reasons for her anxiety she would get angry and accuse me of not believing there was something wrong with her. I was actually saying there was something wrong with her, it just wasn't what she was led to believe.
@@kathleenking47 I think like 90% of shooters have been or have some kind of history of drug use but don't quote that from me. I don't have time to check right now!
Thank you for this! I feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone.We are being poisoned by big food manufacturers and other big business(fluoride in our water etc). Then, when people snap-we blame the guns instead of addressing the root causes: awful toxic food and complete lack of mental health care.
I follow a number of health & fitness UA-camrs, but you're the only one I've seen who tackles real issues of societal health, and not just personal health. I've recently shared your video on the risks of birth control with my girlfriend, and I can't thank you enough for publicly addressing these seldom discussed issues. Bless your heart.
I've been on almost every SSRI there is. The sexual side effects can be much worse than is usually talked about, to the point that you have almost no interest in sex and just stay single and alone. I've also had very bad adrenaline/anxiety issues ever since (coincidentally enough) after briefly being on and discontinuing Paxil. For awhile it took me hours to fall asleep every night because I could hear and feel my heart pounding. I think medications for mental health problems should be used only when absolutely necessary. They have helped some people a lot, but seeing as how we don't fully understand the brain, the gut, or the drugs themselves apparently, we should be more cautious about proscribing them.
Have you ever seen a “depressed” person whose condition noticeably IMPROVED as a result of taking a prescribed medication? I have not ☹️ though I did learn from observng a depressed family member, that mixing alcohol with an SSRI is counter-productive.😮
Great points. The fact that good nutrition affects behavior in incarcerated individuals supports your premise. Thanks for bringing such good topics to the masses 🙏
I had severe depression in my teens- they put me on ssris. Made it so much worse. I refused to stay on them as a teen. Fast forward, I received full deliverance through my faith in Christ. No depression. Something I was told wasn't even possible for me..but JESUS. I don't think ssris are helpful. It's like bandaiding a gaping wound. I actually had to change my thoughts internally. A pill couldn't do that. It took years of prayer to change how I thought about myself and others but it was so worth it.
Just outstanding. I think that the next step in human development needs to be greater empathy. The ability to see yourself in the other is one of the most important attributes of being human. It's right up there with gratitude.
Some folks say that reading fiction and poetry helps us generate empathy. Of course I would like to believe them, being a reader. What do YOU think?🤔 📚📚📚😘
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m a teacher! The behaviors of children have diminished so much in 20 years.OUR GOVERNMENT gives 60-80 grams of sugar for breakfast to children daily. It’s horrific. The USDA recommends children have no more than 40 grams per day and yet they give double that for. Breakfast. Tell me why! BTW… I share an account with my son so I can monitor what he watches 😂
We had sugar in the 50s and 60s. I think, the difference, could be not sleeping at night... Most people went to sleep Around 1230a Or after johnny Carson Unless working graveyard SSRIs..are no good Our parents didn't need them during the great depression
Time magazine, front cover around 2008 said Antidepressants Don't Work with this information and they still have not stopped pushing them. It's important to keep talking about them again and again. Thank you!
Brilliant analysis. I am recently retired from being the lead teacher in a high school focused on credit restoration. A significant number of our students were under court mandate. One ingredient that was massively absent was serotonin. I’d focus, as much as I was allowed, on physical fitness, sleep, and healthy diet. We had some successes(never enough). it seemed to be remarkably correlated to healthy lifestyle and group activities like sports and special interest after school activities. Only anecdotal evidence of course, but I’m sure blood chemistry is causal….but so is bad parenting.
Losing empathy for yourself can end in suicide.... A close family member at a young age left this Earth and I believe the psyche medications are what brought him to that point not the mental illness itself which probably would have responded to a elimination diet at least that should have been tried and it never was it has left me with a big hole in my heart
Xanax made me crazy. The withdrawal is out of this world and not in a good way. I didn’t know a human could physically suffer that much and still live. It was grim.
Right on Mike, People are still crying about how many guns on the street and these same people are quick to medicate their kids. Insanity on full display
Based on my own experience I'm convinced good mental health is connected to food choices, quantity consumed, and exercise, but more importantly are connections with spiritually healthy people, who awaken us to our self sabotaging behaviours thinking and lifestyle which are undermining our well being. It's to bad so many mental health professionals have resorted to drugs which mask symptoms, rather than addressing causes. I've yet to meet anyone who has all the answers, but there are a variety of free self help programs I've found to be life savers. Healthy human connections are a must, but the science of nutrition has been an ongoing experiment for me. Thanks for bring up this topic. It's a life or death issue for many people.
I’m glad you’re talking about the real issue!! The news stations (sponsored almost entirely by pharmaceutical companies) will never throw their main source of income under the bus!
These "meds" are pushed like candy to anyone and everyone! Great video! Thank you for sharing this 👍. I would rather be depressed than be on any of these brain changing meds!
I was diagnosed with shingles a few years back. My gp prescribed me an antipsychotic. I'm sure he meant well but I was like yeah, no thanks. You're right, they give psych meds for damn near everything anymore.
Been diagnosed with liver fibrosis from fatty liver disease. A year ago I could barely get out of bed from chronic inflammation and pain. This led me to a carnivore eating plan and lifting weights combined with sauna therapy. I’ve lost 25 of the 70 pounds I need to and I’ve never felt so calm, relaxed in my 50 years. I believe my mental health was also be affected by inflammation. I never experienced violence but anxiety and depression. I also have been trying the mxoscience NAC supplement and the drink mix. Thank you for your knowledge as it has guided me to healing.
5:40 I have a friend who is a therapist. I was telling her about another woman I know who is a depressed/anxious 29 year old who lives with her parents and has never moved out, doesn't work, never went to college, doesn't exercise, rarely interacts with friends in real life, no significant other, and eats a typical American diet. My stance was how could this woman not be anxious and depressed when she is doing practically everything she can to ensure that she would be miserable? If I was her therapist the first thing I'd tell her to do is eat better, get 8 hours of sleep a night on a normal sleep schedule following her circadian rhythm, exercise daily, interact with people in real life, and get sunlight early in the morning. Then if there are still issues lets address them but lets try the basic stuff first. My therapist friends response was "As a therapist I'm not here to tell you what to do. What you just described sounds like a life coach. As a therapist I'm here to listen to what you want to do and support you in reaching those goals. I can't have any judgement on what you want to do." When you have professionals that think like this, how could we possibly be having real discussions around health and mental state?
@@1timbarrett perfect description actually. It's so sad because she was a good friend in high school that seemed well adjusted. After high school she just never did anything.
When they opened grocery stores in these neighborhoods, the communities decided to steal and loot from these businesses. We saw this happen in SF, LA, Chicago, Seattle, etc. Then the stores closed down or moved away. These people need to appreciate and respect businesses that tried to provide them food and other supplies.
It’s a complex issue. While there is an epidemic of drug addicts stealing for a fix… growing up in these neighborhoods I can assure you many are stealing.. especially kids, because they have no food at home, or means to get any products most of us take for granted. They see a society that does not care for them and when you have a broken home & absolutely nothing, you take to survive.
Regarding SSRI and other drugs related to mental health, I'm fairly certain that the highest correlation between those drugs and violence is with people who are taking them when they are still adolescents. I only say this because the chemical storm of adolescence is often made worse by chemicals that might actually help somebody who is older. On the topic of nutrition vs. Violence, I don't know why this isn't more widely publicized but, Jack LaLanne talked about trying to kill his brother a couple of times using things like axes. He was close to being committed to a psych hospital when the family doc asked the question "what is he eating?" It turns out that he was eating lots of ice cream and cake and cookies and candy and not much else. It also turns out that he had absolutely no physical activity. Well, the rest is history as we say and he evened out his mental health and became the icon of physical culture
I thought this years ago. I was low in b12 and chronically overtired. I was so cranky and reactive. Since addressing those things, I am calmer and nicer.
I definitely lost most of my empathy for the 10 years I was on SSRIs. Everything I spoke to doctors about getting off of them, they told me just to stay on them. I had to ween myself off over the course of a year, it was difficult but completely worth it.
I appreciate you getting to some of the root causes of mass shootings. Medications, highly processed foods, junk foods, soda's and a lack of exercise. As a responsible gun owner, I appreciate this side of the problem. Thank you Mike!
I totally agree - thank you raising this topic. Because people are so used to convenient food such as cereal, bread, pizza, sugary drinks and most are not willing to change this habit.
I was on Prozac for four days to help with anxiety and I thought I was gonna harm my family. I had no empathy and I had this weird rage in me for absolutely no reason. Everything annoyed me. When I recognized this I had the worst panic attack of my life. I went to the er and they said “yeah that can happen the first two weeks are always hard just give it a chance” 😬 I stopped taking them and I actually started eating healthier and going to the gym and I’ve been in an amazing head space. I know things are different for everyone but I wanted to share from first hand experience.
I'm on SSRIs for the first time in my life and they have helped me so much with anxiety and my unstable moodswings. I feel more neutral and not as emotional before, i can definitely see how they could make people less empathic tho.
The psychology of school Shootings is fascinating. I think Jim Morison sums it up best: "People are strange When you're a stranger Faces look ugly When you're alone Women seem wicked When you're unwanted Streets are uneven When you're down"
School shooting? It's not that simple. Most school shootings are carried out by males who often appear entitled. Very rarely, a female comes along. I assume it is linked to testosterone and the male inability to cope with life, with rejection and painful emotions. Don't forget, women/girls also take psych medication and also have similar difficulties with body image and rejection, but they don't turn up at schools and cinemas to gun people down. This is a problem with men and male adolescents
Improving my physical health surely improved my mental health. Feeling good leads to more peaceful joys. I love kipping out of bed every morning. I feel perky, vigorous, lively, sharp etc etc. Love it
Good hormone balance should lead to better mental balance. SSRIs mess things up, band aiding one issue while causing other issues. Something that is unstable is by definition Not stable. Interesting video via illumination!
I had my 5 yr old on adhd meds.....we got off it after a year. It changed him so much! The withdrawal took 2 years for his brain to control his emotions. I believe boys don't learn and focus as fast as girls and nerd outdoor "ruff" Play more than literacy at 5 6 7. I see so much change in my son from school to play. He's depressed going too school!! I could understand it but I do now after watching Dr. Peterson. Boys have different needs then girls at different times. We need to recognize this and adjust our curriculum.
This one is close to my heart. A co-worker of mine had some ambiguous symptoms, lethargy, inability to sleep, muscle aches, loss of appetite, etc. 2 different doctors tried to prescribe anti-depressants. She paid out of pocket for a third opinion and thank goodness she did. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Can you imagine if she had taken the drugs (Zoloft) the first 2 wanted her to take? She might have passed from undiagnosed cancer. What are we doing?
This has been my thoughts for sometime drugs, junk food and lifestyles are having a big impact on our society….thank you Mike for highlighting these serious issues 👍
There's a major problem in society where people cannot easily reach out to get mental health resources, and when they do it costs a substantial amount per session. Someone who lives in poverty, especially a child who lives in poverty, cannot access a therapist or even get a ride to a therapist. I remember back when I was a kid, my Dad wouldn't even give me a ride to the gym and constantly complained about how he had to pick me up from school "for free". Their parents won't support it, their world won't support it, and instead they're bombarded constantly with negative feedback from peers and from teachers (school system is dogshit) that there is something fundamentally wrong with them. Someone with that environment, plus with extremely easy access to psychiatric drugs (A pediatrician prescribed me prozac at 13, I just was lucky enough to constantly forget to take it.), creates a person who has absolutely no connection to reality. When no one wants to talk to you, and your world is modified by malnutrition and mind altering drugs, you start to build up a fake reality with no connection to the real world. I'd fantasize about the world ending, and being a hero that would save everyone. I'd think that every coincidence meant something was going to happen to me, every person I talked to had a puzzle piece in a larger world and that when I died I'd finally understand everything. Escapism. I can totally understand how someone in that position, given the wrong nurturing element, could have those fantasies turn violent.
Great post Mike. Too many young loved ones in my family circle under the age of 30ish on SSRI’s paired with junk food vegans going through this. They’re so depressed or “socially anxious” (which is at the core masked anger) I can’t even forward these very helpful videos to them. It would trigger them and I would lose all connection with them. I’d basically be shut down, or “cancelled.”
No one is talking about mental health from the perspective that we should be treating it with lifestyle choices and hard evidence. Take for instance the transgender ideology: it's expected to not only accept that yes they do have a mental health problem but we shouldn't treat in fact we should make it worse by pumping their bodies full of hormones, mutilating the bodies with open wounds and act like their me tal health condition is completely normal. It's sad. People are being taken advantage of for the sake of political and monetary gain. People need real help to face reality, not someone to play along in their fantasy. All that to say this is an excellent video topic to cover re mental health and how that's impacted by what you put in your body.

I remember people making the connection between SSRI’s and mass shootings a few years ago. As usual, they were called conspiracy theorists and ignored.
A light bulb came on in my head when I listened to this. Most of the school and workplace bullies and abusive partners I encountered were high sugar consumers, some weren’t, such as my parents, but I notice it was the people who consumed sugar for breakfast mostly.
I noticed the same, years ago in grade school, that the kids coming to our in-house subsidised breakfast program were ALL the class bullies and playground troublemakers. You can guess what breakfast consisted of: toast with jam, long-life orange juice, and boxed cereals with plenty of - you guessed it- sugar!😮
Excellent video! Yes, I agree that our diets make us who we are. I am one of many people who feel horrible and angry after eating Stevia or soy. What if everyone felt this way who was driving on the freeway? Lots of road rage. Maybe ought to look at our diets much more closely.

Yes. I work with children and I have young children. Year after year I see students eating total and complete crap with worsening behavior, getting in trouble, adults exasperated, medication started, then medication increased, adults continued exasperation, students' aggression and frustration increases, peers avoid them because they are not very likeable, the rejection leads to deeper anger and aggression...it is TRAGIC to watch this cycle with so many childre over the years. I agree that it's the people and not the guns...but also? I don't think we should so quickly and easily give these people guns. We can easily predict what will go wrong.
been saying that since Colorado Theatre shooting, look into their eyes, they look vacant, but no one is talking about it. Pharmaceutical companies keeping it hush hush
Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable. -Uncle Ted
I can confirm that while I was on escatilopram, I only reacted to sad news because I knew how I would usually react to it, not because I actually "felt" these negative emotions. I can see how this can have dire consequences for some.
Can you do a deep dive into studies on how to stop withdrawal symptoms of ssris ? The hardest part of ssris is that half the people can't get off because it triggers post seratonin sexual dysfunction and also extreme anxiety and cognitive dysfunction. As some one been on them for 16 years I'd have to say that's the worst part. If you have ways that can heal speed up withdrawal symptoms that would be a game changer and save millions of people as they can now get off the drug. Thank you
This Is Your Brain On Joy by Dr Earl Henslin (an associate of Dr D. Amen) wrote an incredible book. We’ve got to look at the brain. You hit the nail on the head 6:54 Our vets ask about our pets diets more than our human docs…so sad
We need more people like this asking the questions we all have but are too scared to talk about. You have to get your physical health in order if you expect to get your mental health in order. If your body is struggling, it will tell your brain. We know this to be especially true with cardiovascular health. The other reason why physical health is interlocked with mental health is because it’s difficult to be happy when you look in the mirror and see 270lbs looking back at you.
Let alone we're pushing social and emotional learning in schools, We had guns in our cars at school and never had these problems when I was a kid. looked up the other day how many mass shootings happen in gunfree zones It was around 95% of them. We have an education and a mental health problem in this country and it's only escalating.
Thank you for staying focused on the root causes of crime/violence. Too often guns are blamed but it's much, much deeper than that. By the continual focus on guns the real issues will never be addressed. As G.K. Chesterson wrote, "evil lies in a man's heart, not in his toys or tools". By the way, there is a Whole Foods in midtown Detroit near the Wayne State University campus. Thanks for all you do!

America is going to crap and there’s nothing we can do about it. You are totally right about sugar and junk food, I’ve thought for years about that and if the parents eat crap then they can’t be good parents either
Nothing you can do? You can choose healthy, unprocessed foods for yourself and your children if you have any. That's all you have to do. You are the universe.
Very interesting Mike, but from my experience with vets - not many ask what you are feeding your animal other than to prescribe a highly processed "prescription" pet food. I just got my certification in holistic pet nutrition for that very reason. There are some holistic vets, but they are so very busy and hard to find. Our dogs and cats are as sick as we are sadly for many of the same reasons :(
It's crazy how people think mental health and physical health are not connected. They are absolutely interconnected!
They certainly are. Feeling great leads to feeling great

100 % true.
An old friend of mine that I grew up with was always the most laid back, sweetest guy you ever met. State champion athelete, successful in business. Women loved him. His doctor gave him a bottle of adderall to help him focus. Two months later he woke up from a blackout and was informed by the cops at his door that he had shot and killed his father the previous night. He spent the rest of his short life in prison. He died at the age of 30. I've never seen a man so hollowed out and heartbroken in my life. I subsequently learned how many school shooters were under the influence of psychotropic drugs. No one is going to convince me this isnt a factor. The news blaming this on nothing but guns does a profound disservice to society and the victims.
Interesting, I agree. I would also say that politicians in the USA on both sides give no craps about people AT ALL. When kids are killed 99.9% of them just shrug it off. Some may disagree with this comment when you see the D's looking to confiscate guns. However I would argue, I would say accurately, that they are trying to disarm Americans because they want to disarm Americans. Not, I repeat, not to save anyone's life.

I wrote about the SSRI link ten years ago. Go to the manufacturer websites and read the warnings and side affects. Pretty scary.
I do have to put it out there that govt is made up of people like you and me. The only way the government changes is if people change.
SSRI’s don’t actually work either they do the opposite of what they’re advertised to do
Psych meds almost killed me. Not only did I lose almost everything (career, money, reputation) it took 15 years without any drugs to resurrect my life from the ashes. Thank you, Mike, for having the courage to broach this subject.
Psych medications are seen as a quick and easy answer to difficult questions and tough situations. People are lazy; they want answers and solutions now. This latest school shooting was the first I've seen where a female was the shooter. She may have been taking testosterone, I don't know. But it does appear to be a predominantly male problem where most of the males are relatively young. I guess when you combine testosterone at high levels with poor diet, poor lifestyle and psych medications, its a recipe for disaster
I agree with you too
I have really to say blood sugar control should not be underestimated. Unbelievably I used to try and do fasting while working 12 hour physical shift work having had broken sleep and would drink a lot of coffee. I cannot tell you how angry I could become it was truly scary. 😬 It was like temporary insanity.

Right on dude. Bad sleep mixed with coffee and lots of physical activity leads to me snapping. Pretty scary sometimes. Can also tell my mental state is messed up the next day of I eat a good amount of sugar the nights before. Very easily agitated
It's anecdotal, I know, but I've witnessed blood sugar having a direct influence on agressive behavior. My dad had poorly controlled diabetes and was a raging a-hole as a result. Almost all of my childhood memories are of him yelling. He would even admit to these episodes being caused by high blood sugar. My maternal grandmother was a sweet Christian lady, but we could tell when her sugar was high because she would turn angry and belligerent. Same for my diabetic brother.
Its also why, FASTING and NO SNACKING between meals, are important

My brother was put on antidepressants. He also is a junk, processed food junkie. What a mess!😱My brother became angry, bitter and violent on the drugs. I decided to visit his psychiatrist to let him know that my brother was getting out of control irrational and aggressive. The psychiatrist was not interested in how my brother was doing on the drugs and simply asked me to leave. 🤷🏻♀️ I’m sorry but I don’t believe the medical professionals care about their patients well being, the care about moving everyone along and the pay check at the end of the week.
Yea it's like they are programmed to dish out pills. Turned into robot pill pushers that see everything through a lens of "treatable with a pill", "must use pill for everything". Imagining a different perspective isn't even in their reality.
Well...to be fair....Doctors can't talk to you about their client unless your name is on the paperwork to release information to. It doesn't matter why you went to the doctor...they will not listen to/talk to someone whose name isn't on any of their clients paperwork
They don't talk to people who actually care for their patients. If you were part of the psychological abusive system, that drugs up your brother, they'd love to have you participate in his treatment. If you're on the patient's side, you're not allowed.
@@LadyWolfeRyder Bullshi*. They give a bleep about privacy. They have no problem in having - for example - abusive partners/parents join their "treatment".
It's the nice people, who question the "treatment", they start to care about "privacy". 😂
@kareendeveraux1847 Yeah...that's called "group therapy". There's a difference between that and HIPAA. Look it up. If they release information to someone that went in to talk to the doc without the Patient knowing and that person isn't on the paperwork then the doctor could be sued and their license taken away
The mental health of others is another reason why I am hesitant to send my kids back to public school. We started homeschool this year. It’s been rough, but it’s getting easier.
My kids are well behaved, and well adjusted.
As we raised them I always told them I want them to help set an example for their peers. They don’t have to be the smartest, I just want them to be kind. Help out their peers if they need, and be welcoming because there are other kids who are not as fortunate as they are.
They never disappointed me, but at this point I don’t feel good putting them back in a public, or private school.
I have enjoyed the journey of learning to teaching them their school work.
If there are any soon to be, or parents of young kids out there, get ahead of the schooling. We already teach them everything else as they’re children.
Though I do understand that not everyone has the temperament to do it. It can be very rewarding though.
You’re doing amazing! They will thank you later 🫶

@@emmabby22 and @MyPammer thank you, I appreciate the kind words.
I have an adopted child who has major mental health issues. She is 14 and we had to place her into a residential facility because she was going to kill herself or me of the other kids. She was given a loving home, we fed her healthy nutritious food. Even took her to a functional doctor that did a full two cycle cleanse and added multiple vitamins. It does get worse with junk food but diet and nutrition didn't fix it. There are true mental issues out there that can't be fixed with nutrition.
A few years ago, a family member was told by friends, teachers, doctors, that all she had to do was take a pill and she'd feel better. Anytime I brought up other physical reasons for her anxiety she would get angry and accuse me of not believing there was something wrong with her. I was actually saying there was something wrong with her, it just wasn't what she was led to believe.

I follow a number of health & fitness UA-camrs, but you're the only one I've seen who tackles real issues of societal health, and not just personal health. I've recently shared your video on the risks of birth control with my girlfriend, and I can't thank you enough for publicly addressing these seldom discussed issues. Bless your heart.
I've been on almost every SSRI there is. The sexual side effects can be much worse than is usually talked about, to the point that you have almost no interest in sex and just stay single and alone. I've also had very bad adrenaline/anxiety issues ever since (coincidentally enough) after briefly being on and discontinuing Paxil. For awhile it took me hours to fall asleep every night because I could hear and feel my heart pounding.
I think medications for mental health problems should be used only when absolutely necessary. They have helped some people a lot, but seeing as how we don't fully understand the brain, the gut, or the drugs themselves apparently, we should be more cautious about proscribing them.
Have you ever seen a “depressed” person whose condition noticeably IMPROVED as a result of taking a prescribed medication? I have not ☹️ though I did learn from observng a depressed family member, that mixing alcohol with an SSRI is counter-productive.😮

I had severe depression in my teens- they put me on ssris. Made it so much worse. I refused to stay on them as a teen. Fast forward, I received full deliverance through my faith in Christ. No depression. Something I was told wasn't even possible for me..but JESUS. I don't think ssris are helpful. It's like bandaiding a gaping wound. I actually had to change my thoughts internally. A pill couldn't do that. It took years of prayer to change how I thought about myself and others but it was so worth it.
Amen🙏😊
" A large body of evidence that suggests common mental health medications cause people to lose their empathy....." Thank you Mike.
Just outstanding. I think that the next step in human development needs to be greater empathy. The ability to see yourself in the other is one of the most important attributes of being human. It's right up there with gratitude.
Some folks say that reading fiction and poetry helps us generate empathy. Of course I would like to believe them, being a reader. What do YOU think?🤔 📚📚📚😘
in my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice which I’ve been tossing over in my mind ever since
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m a teacher! The behaviors of children have diminished so much in 20 years.OUR GOVERNMENT gives 60-80 grams of sugar for breakfast to children daily. It’s horrific. The USDA recommends children have no more than 40 grams per day and yet they give double that for. Breakfast. Tell me why! BTW… I share an account with my son so I can monitor what he watches 😂

50s and 60s.

Thank you for this. It's past time this conversation is had.
My grandson is 14. This video is so helpful. I forwarded this to my son. Thank you.
Brilliant analysis. I am recently retired from being the lead teacher in a high school focused on credit restoration. A significant number of our students were under court mandate. One ingredient that was massively absent was serotonin. I’d focus, as much as I was allowed, on physical fitness, sleep, and healthy diet. We had some successes(never enough). it seemed to be remarkably correlated to healthy lifestyle and group activities like sports and special interest after school activities. Only anecdotal evidence of course, but I’m sure blood chemistry is causal….but so is bad parenting.
Losing empathy for yourself can end in suicide.... A close family member at a young age left this Earth and I believe the psyche medications are what brought him to that point not the mental illness itself which probably would have responded to a elimination diet at least that should have been tried and it never was it has left me with a big hole in my heart
You have my greatest sympathy. The exact same happened in my family. Much love to you.
Xanax made me crazy. The withdrawal is out of this world and not in a good way.

Based on my own experience I'm convinced good mental health is connected to food choices, quantity consumed, and exercise, but more importantly are connections with spiritually healthy people, who awaken us to our self sabotaging behaviours thinking and lifestyle which are undermining our well being. It's to bad so many mental health professionals have resorted to drugs which mask symptoms, rather than addressing causes. I've yet to meet anyone who has all the answers, but there are a variety of free self help programs I've found to be life savers. Healthy human connections are a must, but the science of nutrition has been an ongoing experiment for me. Thanks for bring up this topic. It's a life or death issue for many people.
Definitely true. A healthy diet and food can make you feel better, think better and make positive choices.
I’m glad you’re talking about the real issue!! The news stations (sponsored almost entirely by pharmaceutical companies) will never throw their main source of income under the bus!
These "meds" are pushed like candy to anyone and everyone! Great video! Thank you for sharing this 👍. I would rather be depressed than be on any of these brain changing meds!
I was diagnosed with shingles a few years back. My gp prescribed me an antipsychotic. I'm sure he meant well but I was like yeah, no thanks. You're right, they give psych meds for damn near everything anymore.
We have a sickcare system, not a healthcare system, and it is addicted to prescribing drugs to people.
You are completely right. This is it. Don't stop broadcasting this.
Been diagnosed with liver fibrosis from fatty liver disease. A year ago I could barely get out of bed from chronic inflammation and pain. This led me to a carnivore eating plan and lifting weights combined with sauna therapy. I’ve lost 25 of the 70 pounds I need to and I’ve never felt so calm, relaxed in my 50 years. I believe my mental health was also be affected by inflammation. I never experienced violence but anxiety and depression. I also have been trying the mxoscience NAC supplement and the drink mix. Thank you for your knowledge as it has guided me to healing.
5:40 I have a friend who is a therapist. I was telling her about another woman I know who is a depressed/anxious 29 year old who lives with her parents and has never moved out, doesn't work, never went to college, doesn't exercise, rarely interacts with friends in real life, no significant other, and eats a typical American diet. My stance was how could this woman not be anxious and depressed when she is doing practically everything she can to ensure that she would be miserable? If I was her therapist the first thing I'd tell her to do is eat better, get 8 hours of sleep a night on a normal sleep schedule following her circadian rhythm, exercise daily, interact with people in real life, and get sunlight early in the morning. Then if there are still issues lets address them but lets try the basic stuff first.
My therapist friends response was "As a therapist I'm not here to tell you what to do. What you just described sounds like a life coach. As a therapist I'm here to listen to what you want to do and support you in reaching those goals. I can't have any judgement on what you want to do." When you have professionals that think like this, how could we possibly be having real discussions around health and mental state?
This 29-year-old sounds not unlike what the Japanese call HIKIKOMORI...!
@@1timbarrett perfect description actually. It's so sad because she was a good friend in high school that seemed well adjusted. After high school she just never did anything.
When they opened grocery stores in these neighborhoods, the communities decided to steal and loot from these businesses. We saw this happen in SF, LA, Chicago, Seattle, etc. Then the stores closed down or moved away. These people need to appreciate and respect businesses that tried to provide them food and other supplies.
It’s a complex issue. While there is an epidemic of drug addicts stealing for a fix… growing up in these neighborhoods I can assure you many are stealing.. especially kids, because they have no food at home, or means to get any products most of us take for granted. They see a society that does not care for them and when you have a broken home & absolutely nothing, you take to survive.
Unfortunately if they have poor impulse control already, they won't think about that.
@@leggiemeggie5837 it’s extremely simple and people post videos on TikTok to brag about it
Thank you for making these connections between violence, nutrition and mental health. This is so important!! 💗 blessings
Regarding SSRI and other drugs related to mental health, I'm fairly certain that the highest correlation between those drugs and violence is with people who are taking them when they are still adolescents. I only say this because the chemical storm of adolescence is often made worse by chemicals that might actually help somebody who is older.
On the topic of nutrition vs. Violence, I don't know why this isn't more widely publicized but, Jack LaLanne talked about trying to kill his brother a couple of times using things like axes.
He was close to being committed to a psych hospital when the family doc asked the question "what is he eating?"
It turns out that he was eating lots of ice cream and cake and cookies and candy and not much else. It also turns out that he had absolutely no physical activity. Well, the rest is history as we say and he evened out his mental health and became the icon of physical culture
Great story... thank you!🙏😘🖖👍🏽👏🏼❣️
Ive been saying this for 4 years and I want to thank you for piecing together the literature
It's everything combined THANK YOU MIKE!! very appreciative for all ur hard work.
I thought this years ago. I was low in b12 and chronically overtired. I was so cranky and reactive. Since addressing those things, I am calmer and nicer.
I definitely lost most of my empathy for the 10 years I was on SSRIs. Everything I spoke to doctors about getting off of them, they told me just to stay on them.
I had to ween myself off over the course of a year, it was difficult but completely worth it.
Mental health, physical health, and spiritual health are all connected and cannot be separated.
I appreciate you getting to some of the root causes of mass shootings. Medications, highly processed foods, junk foods, soda's and a lack of exercise. As a responsible gun owner, I appreciate this side of the problem. Thank you Mike!

I was on Prozac for four days to help with anxiety and I thought I was gonna harm my family. I had no empathy and I had this weird rage in me for absolutely no reason. Everything annoyed me. When I recognized this I had the worst panic attack of my life. I went to the er and they said “yeah that can happen the first two weeks are always hard just give it a chance” 😬 I stopped taking them and I actually started eating healthier and going to the gym and I’ve been in an amazing head space.

The psychology of school Shootings is fascinating. I think Jim Morison sums it up best:
"People are strange
When you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you're alone
Women seem wicked
When you're unwanted
Streets are uneven
When you're down"
School shooting? It's not that simple. Most school shootings are carried out by males who often appear entitled. Very rarely, a female comes along. I assume it is linked to testosterone and the male inability to cope with life, with rejection and painful emotions. Don't forget, women/girls also take psych medication and also have similar difficulties with body image and rejection, but they don't turn up at schools and cinemas to gun people down. This is a problem with men and male adolescents
Yes!

I believe boys don't learn and focus as fast as girls and nerd outdoor "ruff" Play more than literacy at 5 6 7. I see so much change in my son from school to play. He's depressed going too school!! I could understand it but I do now after watching Dr. Peterson. Boys have different needs then girls at different times. We need to recognize this and adjust our curriculum.
I need to do better with food. I'm not bad but I really want to be preservative and sugar free! But natural sugars of course!!
This one is close to my heart. A co-worker of mine had some ambiguous symptoms, lethargy, inability to sleep, muscle aches, loss of appetite, etc. 2 different doctors tried to prescribe anti-depressants. She paid out of pocket for a third opinion and thank goodness she did. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Can you imagine if she had taken the drugs (Zoloft) the first 2 wanted her to take? She might have passed from undiagnosed cancer. What are we doing?

This has been my thoughts for sometime drugs, junk food and lifestyles are having a big impact on our society….thank you Mike for highlighting these serious issues 👍
Thanks Mike. Once again you stick your neck out to inform us of things being obscured by a perfect storm of competing liars.
There's a major problem in society where people cannot easily reach out to get mental health resources, and when they do it costs a substantial amount per session. Someone who lives in poverty, especially a child who lives in poverty, cannot access a therapist or even get a ride to a therapist. I remember back when I was a kid, my Dad wouldn't even give me a ride to the gym and constantly complained about how he had to pick me up from school "for free".
Their parents won't support it, their world won't support it, and instead they're bombarded constantly with negative feedback from peers and from teachers (school system is dogshit) that there is something fundamentally wrong with them. Someone with that environment, plus with extremely easy access to psychiatric drugs (A pediatrician prescribed me prozac at 13, I just was lucky enough to constantly forget to take it.), creates a person who has absolutely no connection to reality. When no one wants to talk to you, and your world is modified by malnutrition and mind altering drugs, you start to build up a fake reality with no connection to the real world. I'd fantasize about the world ending, and being a hero that would save everyone. I'd think that every coincidence meant something was going to happen to me, every person I talked to had a puzzle piece in a larger world and that when I died I'd finally understand everything. Escapism.
I can totally understand how someone in that position, given the wrong nurturing element, could have those fantasies turn violent.
Great post Mike. Too many young loved ones in my family circle under the age of 30ish on SSRI’s paired with junk food vegans going through this. They’re so depressed or “socially anxious” (which is at the core masked anger) I can’t even forward these very helpful videos to them. It would trigger them and I would lose all connection with them. I’d basically be shut down, or “cancelled.”
Definitely there is a link in pharmaceuticals. You are always on point with your topics.
Thank you Dr Mike. This earned you a follow. I'm desperate for anwers for my adult son who has schizophrenia and on psych drugs
No one is talking about mental health from the perspective that we should be treating it with lifestyle choices and hard evidence. Take for instance the transgender ideology: it's expected to not only accept that yes they do have a mental health problem but we shouldn't treat in fact we should make it worse by pumping their bodies full of hormones, mutilating the bodies with open wounds and act like their me tal health condition is completely normal. It's sad. People are being taken advantage of for the sake of political and monetary gain. People need real help to face reality, not someone to play along in their fantasy.
All that to say this is an excellent video topic to cover re mental health and how that's impacted by what you put in your body.

Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. Science fiction It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual's internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable.

I can confirm that while I was on escatilopram, I only reacted to sad news because I knew how I would usually react to it, not because I actually "felt" these negative emotions. I can see how this can have dire consequences for some.
Can you do a deep dive into studies on how to stop withdrawal symptoms of ssris ? The hardest part of ssris is that half the people can't get off because it triggers post seratonin sexual dysfunction and also extreme anxiety and cognitive dysfunction.
As some one been on them for 16 years I'd have to say that's the worst part.
If you have ways that can heal speed up withdrawal symptoms that would be a game changer and save millions of people as they can now get off the drug.

@@Blinkybottom I’m so sorry, Sean; yesterday was for BIPOLAR DISORDER. I bet there’s a day for Borderline Personality Disorder, however. And if there is, I shall be thinking of YOU on that day in 2024. Sorry for my mistake. 🥳🖖❣️🥩❣️🥩❣️
@@1timbarrett no worries, thankfully it's in the past, these days are busy with kids day 😂
America is going to crap and there’s nothing we can do about it. You are totally right about sugar and junk food, I’ve thought for years about that and if the parents eat crap then they can’t be good parents either
Nothing you can do? You can choose healthy, unprocessed foods for yourself and your children if you have any. That's all you have to do. You are the universe.
Very interesting Mike, but from my experience with vets - not many ask what you are feeding your animal other than to prescribe a highly processed "prescription" pet food. I just got my certification in holistic pet nutrition for that very reason. There are some holistic vets, but they are so very busy and hard to find. Our dogs and cats are as sick as we are sadly for many of the same reasons :(
No body is talking about the role of testosterone, mental health and violence. There’s questions there.
