If someone asked you what you thought the biggest hoax of the century was, what would you tell them? The 'UFOs' that were just a cover-up for all the military testing that was going on in the 1950s? That nuclear energy really is safe? That the Palestinians really want peace with Israel?

I'd pick this: that there really is a chemical imbalance in people's brains, and that's why they need to take lots of mind-altering drugs.

Before you get all huffy with me, give me a couple of minutes' grace, and just read to the end of the article. I've been doing a lot of research into depression as part of my preparations to train for and start up an aromatherapy practice.

Anti-depressants don't work. Placebo sugar pills achieved the same 'success rates' as the drugs - without all the horrible side effects.

Do you know that anti-depressants are linked to a whole bunch of horrible things including weight gain, permanent dysfunction in the bedroom; birth defects like autism (yes, you read that correctly); tics, neurological damage and with long-term use, even things like Alzheimer's and Parkinsons?

Do you know just how many of the mums I know are on anti-depressants? Do you know how many of them are urging their friends and relatives to follow suit?

They'd have a heart-attack if their kid developed a coke habit, or became a heroin junky - but I guess if their child got it on prescription from their doctor, somehow, that would be OK.

People, we need to listen to our holy rabbis! Rav Shalom Arush, Rabbi Lazer Brody and others have been telling us for years that Prozac is bad, that 'chemical imbalances' is a big lie an that the only way to really be happy is to learn some emuna.

There are no shortcuts: either, we learn emuna and put G-d in the picture, or we take Prozac and give ourselves potentially irreversible brain-damange. The choice is ours...
