And then once you have the means, finding the right therapist..? The original post seems tone deaf

The idea of imbibing potions whose recipes predate our awareness of things like radium or mercury toxicity somewhat disturbs me.

That guy's name is Dr. Justin Sledge and his Occultism channel is the first one I found that doesn't make me cringe.

gut microbiome's link to gut-brain axis and depreasion so partial points earned? laxatives usually have adverse effect on gut microbiome tho

yeah you are going to want to combine this with probiotics, or eating ass

Gotta make sure you're eating undepressed ass though, else you're just back at stage 1

Weird take, but blood-letting is a treatment against microplastics. As is menstruation and donating blood, but the first one is more medieval.

maybe the real therapy was the potions we distilled along the way

All right, either:

• try to decide what kind of therapist is needed (difficult)
• figure out what kind of therapy/therapists are covered by insurance (time-consuming and stressful, sometimes impossible)
• provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
• look through a list of relevant therapists nearby (usually easy)
• try to identify one that you might relate to or at least be able to deal with (very difficult, sometimes impossible)
• call them up one at a time to see if they're really accepting new patients (time-consuming and stressful)
• try to find a regular time that works in your schedule for the new therapist and for other obligations (difficult)
• again provide a bunch of private information (time-consuming, difficult, and stressful)
• go meet with the therapist. try to get along with them because if you don't it's your fault and you have to start all over (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)
• do all this while dealing with whatever problem you need therapy for (difficulty varies, sometimes impossible)

I know the wording's a meme, but the hell with whoever made the original post. Fuckem.

That's a treadmill. You have to eat and drink more micro plastics to replace the lost blood. Bloodletting was the opposite you wanted to do with melancholic illness btw. You wanted to increase sanguine humor(blood, the opposite of black bile) so you ate and drank sanguine foods(meat and gravy, red wine) while taking laxatives and enemas.

Hilariously there is one aspect of this that is actually accurate to modern suggestions. To increase sanguine humor you should exercise and get hot and sweaty (sanguine humor is considered hot and wet). Vigorous exercise is considered by modern medicine to be good for depression.
