If you ask, I'm sure the psychiatrist that you're gonna speak to tomorrow, we'll be able to even pull out some some of those studies. There are studies again, they're done postmortem, right? They're not done on real life people, because you can't measure those, you can measure things in the brain, those type of things in the brain.

But, you know, they did test all kinds of brains from serial killers and, you know, people with chronic depression that committed suicide and stuff like that. So we do know some of these things. Does it accurately represent what's going on in the life person? Not necessary, right? We think it does. We do believe it does. Otherwise, we wouldn't be using those medications.

But again, I would say that, to me, and I think and although it is very important how the biological process actually works and and you know to know why we're using the medications that we're using there is to me a big important kind of look like i said before is it actually achieving anything and of course the side effects if i believe that the side effects have

more, you know, are going to affect the patient more than they're gonna actually help him, there's no way in hell that I'm going to use it. If I think that the benefits are higher than

I actually agree with you about that being overly used in dogs and cats as well.

Yeah, you said that they're basically numb.

Yeah, you said that they're basically numb.

Right. And so first, by the way, just the you might know about this book, but you know, if anyone is interested, and again, I'm not getting any money from anyone, I'm just doing it for the sake of if people want to learn a bit more, but I would say this is kind of like our Bible, the veterinary psychopharmacology. Of course, we also use other books. We use Stahl a lot.

You do? Yeah. Of course I do. No, no.

You do? Yeah. Of course I do. No, no.

But But again, I am the way that we decide if the medication is working or not, in not actually causing side effects, or basically just numbing or flattening the dog out. So, of course, you know, we know it according to what the owner and the owners are reporting. He, for example, I tell the owners and you know, there are some side effects that might actually happen in the first

if we're talking specifically about, let's say, SSRIs. Some side effects might be much more common in the first two weeks because of how the medication itself works and the changes that actually take time and the changes in receptors and all of that in the brain. Because, by the way, and that's also important because the way that I explained it is not... is not entirely correct.
