And so my like follow up question to this is like, if the science was always that shaky, why did psychiatry and media and pharma and everything, why did they kept pushing it so aggressively? Because... Like, I mean, they had to have a little bit of an idea that that's not quite the case, or did they? Or how, why it became such a mainstream? It's just like, oh yeah, you should.

You go to the doctor and within five minutes, with a less conversation. I will tell it before you answer maybe. Like I remember myself way back in the 90s when I first came to the States from Europe and I broke with my girlfriend. And at that time, I had two young graduates from school, psychiatrists, and I still remember the girl looking at her boyfriend, like, we should put him on something.

And then they both look at me and I'm like, what are you guys talking about? And I can only imagine if at that moment I was to accept that which way my life would go from there on, how little I knew and how much I would have trusted doctors, right? But how come that it's pushed so aggressively to everybody that it's hard to argue?

Kind of like how everybody was laughing at Tom Cruise in 2005, right? When he was on that interview, it was like, there is no chemical deficiency. And everybody was like, oh, that Scientology guy, right? Yeah, he's completely right. Right. Yeah. So that's just a very difficult situation to get out of.

But then let me, so if, and I don't know if that's even correct, but if depression, like in humans, let's talk about, so we don't talk about aggression in dogs, but depression in humans isn't caused by low serotonin. Do we, what are the SSRIs actually doing to people? Yeah.

Right. That's kind of like the, you know, how you mentioned, I mean, Freud's idea. And there was this one, again, like 2024 study that was really cool. I mean, just the title itself was amazing. Like, what was it? Like depression, difficult lives explain depression better than broken brains or something, right? Yeah.
