So I came across an article shared multiple times on facebook from many different sources claiming 2 handfuls of cashews a day is as effective as a therapeutic dose of Prozac. I'm so angry, not only does it demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of the infinitly complex mechanisms of depression & its treatment, it's totally condescending to those suffering who in fact use antidepressants, like we're just stupid sheep that do whatever we are told when all we need is some nuts. Many of those sharing it essentially claim that medical experts in the field of psychiatry are colluding with big pharma to force pills down our throats for financial benefit. It just breeds mistrust.
