When host Larry King asked him about having battled depression, the big screen funnyman said: “You know at the risk of like opening up the whole Tom Cruise Prozac argument, you know, I don’t disagree in many ways,” said Carrey. “I think Prozac and things like that are very valuable to people for short periods of time. But I believe if you’re on them for an extended period of time, you never get to the problem. You never get to see what the problem is, because everything is just kind of OK. And so, you don’t deal. And people deal when they get desperate.”
Jim’s solution? Supplements!
Vitamins?
“Yes — well, it’s not — well, it is vitamins. But it’s also certain elements of the brain like Tyrosine and hydroxytryptophan that they’re treating depression with now. It is a natural substance that’s in your brain. Instead of being a Serotonin inhibitor, which just uses the serotonin you have and Prozac and things like that — it just uses the Serotonin you have and it doesn’t allow it go back into the receptor. It metabolizes your serotonin after a while and you have to keep taking more and more to feel good. This actually creates dopamine and creates serotonin. It’s a wonderful thing. It’s amazing. I’m going to talk a lot about it in the near future.”

Wow, and all this time I thought he was just dumb.
I myself; don’t believe in all of these pills either.
Rock On Jim
what a fucking IDIOT.
Some people have CHRONIC DEPRESSION, and NEED pills. In some cases it has NOTHING to do with a “problem” in your life, it is a CHEMICAL IMBALANCE.
I hate when people spew shit like he just did. EVERYONE is different. Some people only need anti-depressants for a short while, others would DIE without them..
I think I need to agree with parissucksliterally here. No one would complain about a diabetic needing to take insulin shots all their life, so why complain about those people who needs to take antidepressants all their life. Everyone deserves a decent quality of life, if insulin shots, or antidepressants can give a person this, why not?
Hate me or whatever ;
Everything can be cured without a doctors script.
For one; I CHALLANGE YOU ALL TO READ
“A Cure For All Disease’s” by Doctor Helda Clark.
You would be very amazed……things can be cured even diabetes without pills and such.
Once again; I CHALLENGE YOU to learn
OOPS!

Its a LIFESTYLE change - -all around.
From the carpet you have in your houe, to the furniture you sit on……….to the nasty pets you allow to live in your home.
The food, and everything!
LIFE STYLE change, period.
But; as it goes, people will attack me and say this and that.
People attack when they dont know let alone understand “different things”
In fact; Jims girlfriend, treated her son that HAD autism with Vitamns and a massive change of lifestyle.
If you eat greasy food all day; and have high blood pressure, I am sure that the ones that dont understand will pop a pill for that, and go eat some more fried grease…Then bitch and moan the the blood presure its up to high - -so the doctor is going to give you another pill for that.
Doctors - they dont give a shit about you or the real problem.
Here is a pill to cover it up.
And so many millions of people pop pills for shit that they can control.
But yet, they want to live that way; and die that way.
Becuase they refuse to learn anything NEW or want to change thier lifestyle.
Yes you are insane Anon. Why don’t we throw healthcare all together out the window.
I agree that pills are thrown at people for everything these days. I totally agree with that. I am just saying that EVERYONE is different, and what works for some, will not work for another. There are people with serious chemical imbalances from GENETICS, and they NEED their pills in order to function normally.
Unless you yourself are someone who knows this personally, please do not make assumptions or judgments. Thank you.
you cannot cure autism!
Those vitamins he is eating are doing this to him!
I would say it’s not so much the doctor’s throwing the pills at us as it is the pharmaceutical companies. They make tooooooooooons of money off that stuff. Aside from that, I’m in a Master’s program in clinical psychology, and anti-depressants have a higher relapse rate than psychotherapy. So in a way, I agree with Jim. Antidepressants aren’t always the answer. Psychotherapy can be incredibly helpful and maybe preferable (no side effects).
Someone who has a chemical imbalance would benifit more from what he is saying because it fixes the problem.
If you truely have a chemical imbalance then what he is saying would fix it, the vitimins are the chemicals that fix the imbalance. What do you think is imbalanced? Its serotonin.
I know many diabetics who got off insuling by exercising, losing weight and diet, same with people who have high blood pressure and even cancer. Yes cancer, with natural mediums, diet and exercise. Its just hard work and no fun and its easier to take a pill that only covers up your problem instead of fixing it like he said.
WOW! Anyone who needs pills to live should be shot anyway. This man is clearly not an idiot. Let’s see he lives his dream and anything he says starts a bickering site like this one. hmm.. who is the idiot. HA HA. Pills = living death. If you can’t deal with crap on your own free will, than you deserve to be unhappy or crazy. I have a constant depsession, but i don’t take pills and i actaully am happy. it’s hard to explain. but when you know the truth (muhc like myself) in regards to the fact that we are all heading to the same place after this life train stops (that would be down) its had to live, but i figured it out, wihtout silly pills. Basically quit cryign or cut your wrist already geez.
Many people uses pills especially in depression condition which is usually not good for their health. It really affects their health and create a chemical imbalance and they do not that what they are saying, which may be creates problem for them in future so keep away your self from these pills and safe your health.
