Antidepressants, Insulin Resistance, and Depression

The medication you take to feel better could actually be fueling the root cause of your depression.

It turns out that many common antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds come with a nasty side effect

called insulin resistance. These drugs mess with your hunger signals, making you crave

carbs and store fat. Here is the tragedy. Your brain needs stable energy to

function, but insulin resistance literally starves your brain of fuel. So you might be

putting a band-aid on your mood while making the metabolic wound fester. Fixing your metabolism

might just be the key to saving your mind.
