Are We Using ADHD and Anxiety as Excuses? The Perspective of Global Psychiatrists

We are living in an era where we have allowed a diagnosis to serve as an excuse for life.

He has ADHD, you know? He can't manage this. We have someone with autism at home and it is truly difficult for us all."

"Did you know my daughter suffers from depression and anxiety?" Three prestigious psychiatrists of the world: Dr. Dirk De Wachter in his bestseller Borderline Times, the renowned Dutch psychiatrist Bram Bakker, and Gregg Braden.

The weight of human existence. "I can’t go on anymore. I’m exhausted. I can’t cope with these times." And the psychiatrist immediately provides a diagnosis and prescribes antidepressants.

Diagnoses and the Reality of Today

In the USA, according to available analyses, more than 70% of the population is on antidepressants, analgesics, or sedatives. Antwerp, according to data presented by Dirk De Wachter, is among the cities with the highest concentration of cocaine in its wastewater. The Netherlands and Nordic countries are reporting a crisis within psychiatry as a science itself, because it defends a sick society in its basic principles and shields it behind heavy diagnoses quite unjustifiably.

Is the brain the root cause of depression, anxiety, and exhaustion? Is everything caused by a lack of serotonin and dopamine, meaning it must be supplemented with medication? The famous Dr. Bram Bakker (joined by experts in psychiatry, neuroscience, and biochemistry) labeled this "theory" very critically as one great unprofessional lie spread across the planet. He considers the administration of psychopharmaceuticals in the field of mental health—resulting from the pharmaceutical industry's flawed theory—to be outrageous manipulation and the exploitation of human despair for the sake of business.

The Perspective of Global Authorities

Dirk De Wachter views treatment and recovery as two distinct processes. He points out that there are far more harmful side effects in pharmacological treatment than in accepting a certain degree of pain, which we constantly try to outsmart and exclude from our lives. But then it happens that one realizes that earthly life is simply not easy and exclusively happy. Under the weight of illness, pain, and misfortune, the individual collapses, their condition worsens, and no pharmaceuticals can save them.

A society that has lost its sense of pain is said to lose its sense of love as well. And it is no coincidence that a specific diagnosis is growing globally—in Asia, the USA, and post-Covid Europe: "feelings of solitude, misunderstanding, a lack of comprehension, the loss of a sense of belonging or community, and a perceived lack of respect and unkindness in interpersonal relationships." No medication can help you with that.

“It is necessary to be part of a community, a fellowship; to not fear communication even with potential rejection, but at the same time to have the courage to speak up and offer: "I am here and I want to belong. I like what you do, and I want to be part of your community."
Cesta zpět k Molecules of Life

That is why, in Molecules of Life, we return not only to nature, the body's biorhythms, and the circadian code of the human organism and the Earth—which can warm us, feed us, satisfy our senses, and heal us, even as we poison it, disrespectfully level it, pave it over, and try to convince it that the human hand is the master here.

That is why we offer a sense of security, procedures where we talk and provide personalized advice on how to handle pain, sadness, loneliness, a failed day, or the loss of a loved one. We return to rituals that were once second nature for our spirit, body, and mind. They helped us overcome spring fatigue and dark days without sun, and fostered the joy of being outdoors rather than confined within buildings with central heating or air conditioning. In summer, when we harvest from St. John's Day through the grape, plum, or hop harvests. Winter, with its feasts and Advent, vital for contemplation, togetherness, gathering, neighborly relations, and love. Or autumn, when nature and humans alike need to ground themselves, nestle in, and support their preparation for the long winter with SUPER foods, whisking, saunas, wraps, baths, aromatherapy, or massages. 

"Doctor, I can't. I have depression..." is heard by general practitioners, psychologists, psychiatrists, and holistic naturopaths. "Do you have a pill?" The expert's answer should be NO. You certainly do not have depression; otherwise, you wouldn't have even made it here. And we need to discuss how you live, why you live that way, why your body and mind are in defiance, and how we can help them.
