Depression and Anxiety are natural human emotions triggered by trauma or stress. They don't pop up out of no where.
In many cases you're right, but they still exist, even in those situations. The rest of the equation is that there are hormones that go along with the experience of the emotion. If those get out of balance for any reason, you can experience the emotions.
I don't think ADD would exist if children (and adults, for that matter) ate real food. I don't necessarily think it's made up by drug companies, but I do think it's a man-made condition.
I'm on the fence about anxiety and depression. My mom suffers from both and has been on drugs her whole life, but on the other hand, she leads an extremely unhealthy lifestyle - drinks nothing but soda, smokes, is insanely lazy, doesn't eat well, doesn't get fresh air or exercise and does nothing to cope with or eliminate stress. I think there are better ways of dealing with both anxiety and depression than drug therapy alone, but the person has to be willing to change.
ADD existed back when "real food" was the norm too. I do think there is something, not necessarily food, that is making kids more susceptible. My guess is electronics but who the heck knows.
Yes, these things are all real. That doesn't mean people are over medicated or medicated unnecessarily though.
Of course they are all real. Big pharma says so and the CDC and other government agencies back them up. But don't worry..they have drugs for everything now.
