And then the next time, drop it by a smaller fraction. In humans, we drop the dose every two to four weeks generally, no sooner than every two weeks. It might be different from dogs. We'll have to get people to comment below this video on YouTube or wherever it is to start sharing their experience of weaning their animals off SSRIs and how it went. We'll have to crowdsource this one.

I think... Yeah, I think it's both things. And so we do know that exercise is a very good antidepressant for some people, not everyone. Now, the people that I see it work really well for are the people who are sedentary. They don't move. They sit behind their computer all the time. They're not active. Human beings, we're designed to move.

We're designed to be out in the sun with the vitamin D effects and the fresh air. We're meant to be moving our bodies. If you just sit behind your computer all day and drink three cups of coffee and you never see the sun, you feel bad. And that's why when we do these clinical trials, when we do these studies, we always find that exercise really makes people feel a lot better.

And yes, it's a distraction, but I think physiologically, being outside in the sun, moving your body like your biology is designed to, is a great way of regulating your mood and getting energy out.

I don't know, maybe they have to move for work and they used to have a yard and now they don't have a yard and they're in a, you know, in an apartment and their job is busy, you know, their job is very busy or they have a child and all of a sudden they can't meet the needs of that animal anymore. Um, and, and I mean, that's, that's, that's, that's really sad.

And then it's, it's, it's very complicated because, um, What do you do? You know, you have to, I guess you have to find a family for the dog that is better able to meet its needs. Right.

We can't really explain where this is coming from, and we want you to have a good quality of life. And then we explain the risks to the person. This is the evidence base. These are the risks. Do you feel comfortable with them? And if they say yes, then I think that's completely valid. You've done a good job. You've tried everything you could.
