The World Needs a Better Solution For Depression, Anxiety & Dementia
Depression and anxiety are at epidemic proportions. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting almost 20% of the adult population, and depression affects over 18 million adults (one in ten people).
And the conventional medical world’s response to this epidemic is very specific; synthetic drugs.
Antidepressants are the most prescribed drug in U.S. after antibiotics – taken by more than 1 in 10 Americans (and 1 in 4 among women aged 50 to 64). Many believe that this is the best course of treatment for depression, yet leaked studies, even from the manufacturers themselves, have shown that these drugs are usually of no more benefit than a placebo.
Inflammation is an essential way we defend our bodies from infection and invading organisms. Unfortunately, as you may know, this process often goes haywire.
Scientists have linked chronic, low-grade inflammation to many modern killers: heart disease, cancer, and others. But here’s something you may not know…
A study published in 2013 in the Journal of Neuroinflammation discovered a strong correlation between psychiatric illnesses (including depression) and inflammation in the brain. Researchers are finding elevated levels of pro-inflammatory chemicals in the bloodstream of people suffering from mood disorders and other mental illnesses.
The United States has the second highest rate of Alzheimer’s and dementia in the world, while India has one of the lowest. What could be causing this drastic difference between these two countries? The answer is curcumin, an active component in turmeric.
Curcumin is a potent anti-inflammatory that has been shown in studies to decrease both acute and chronic inflammation. It also has been shown to reduce oxidative stress. Since, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been linked to a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s, turmeric has promise of having the possibility of producing similar results without the side effects.
