Positive thinking can result in a great positive impact on one’s life. Positive thinking can lead to motivation, can lead to persistence and success.
Being positively motivated results in you working harder. If you keep your mind positive in school and youre reaching for that A+, there is a great chance that you will excel in your subjects more. Keeping your mind positive keeps stress down and in result will help you focus because you want to do your best. In doing your best there is a greater chance that you will succeed.
Success can come from positive thinking. For example take working. If one is a journalist and does not keep their mind positive while working and falls upon a road block they would just give up. When you in a positive mental state you wont give up, you will become persistant in what you do which can also lead to greater success.
Positive thinking can also have a good amount of impact on one’s love life. If a man gives up after his first rejection and is too afraid to ask a woman out because he is afraid of getting the same answer every time than he is bound to live a lonely life. If a man is rejected and is persistant in finding a woman and being his best he will find a way and a woman. In result he will have a greater chance better love life.
Those we're just a few topics that positivity can have a good impact on. With a positive mentality ones positive out look on life can have a positive impact in any aspect of their life. It pushes people not to give up and it helps people reach to their goals. Which is why keeping a positive outlook is great.

Draft of Final
Prescribed anti-depressants have become an unnecessary artificial road to happiness. Anti-depressants are chemically induced pills that alter the different functions in your mind. While people believe that antidepressants will bring them happiness it actually can do the opposite. There are multiple reasons why antidepressants should not be used. Such as, advertisements background checks, side effects and other ways of treating depression.
Antidepressant advertisement and companies are not fully reliable. They put business before the health of their customers. “Today, the American patient is inexorably being transformed into his own pharmacist. The trend is most apparent in the pages of magazines, with their weirdly text-heavy ads.” They are advertising and pushing people upon the thought of messing with the function of their minds. They are reeling people in and making it easier for people to purchase these chemicals. One of the ways they get people is through surveys and “self-diagnostic chart[s]” that list certain side effects of depression which many people can identify with. “…Talking Back to Prozac, by Peter Breggin, argues that antidepressant drugs are merely the latest form of middle-class stimulants and that claims for the drug’s effectiveness are based on shallow research. (Critser)” Prescribing antidepressants are not easy to prescribe everyone going through depression has their own different individual chemical imbalances making it hard to find an exact pill to match to the chemical problem. “Based on shallow research”, meaning the companies that are distributing these pills lack of the full extent of knowledge that they should have while handling these life altering pills. “..if you talk to the treatment-resistant, you see the suffering. You realize you have to experiment”.
Anti-depressants should not be used because they have many negative side effects. Individuals who are recently depressed jump at any risk to become happy not knowing the risks they are actually taking. "Short-term studies have shown that children using antidepressants have an increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior in the first few months of treatment"(Chao). In this case these children are taking these pills to regulate their problem of depression but as an effect the depression is actually shown to advance into a suicidal state for a period of time instead of reducing. Some of these pills are called Zoloft, Prazac, and Praxil. In adults “high blood pressure”, “sexual dysfunction“, chance of having a seizure, “possibility of priapism” which is a painful erection, stomach ache side effects” and etc. are certain side effects when taking antidepressants. If you realize many of these side effects result in the opposite of the goal the customers are trying to reach. Sexual dysfunction, stomache aches and seizures surely do not lead to happiness.
Many believe that taking a pill is the only way to reach happiness though there are other alternatives to dealing with depression. “ I wonder,...if my depression is “unbearable” without medication only because I know that this medication exists.(Critser)” This quote shows how many do not know wheather they can bear with dealing with depression naturally because they are taught that they can purchase a pill that can take it all away. One of the alternatives to treating depression is therapy. “[T]he average number of insurer-paid visits to talk to therapists fell dramatically while drug-therapy numbers soared; By the late Eighties, of nearly 16 million patients who visited doctors for depression, 70 percent ended up in drug therapy (Critser)” Another alternative is to surround one’s self with family, friends and people that love them. What better way is there to become happy than to be surrounded by people who you enjoy, love you and make you happy. If a child seems depressed they should be spoken to by a parent or someone they communicate with well to find the route of that depression. Once they figure out the cause the parent should try to avoid or help others doing that act that brings that increased sadness and support their child. Another way is excersizing. Excersizing builds up and releases endorphins which results in the improvement of moods and make people feel better. An additional alternative is listening to music. Music good or bad both have certain effects on the mind. One can try to surround themselves with positive music building up their way of thinking.
The idea of depression is used by companies to make money. They twist and mistreat people by manipulating them by using this idea of happiness and using them for experiments. These experiments can be dangerous and can put someones chemical mental makeup and physical bodies is jeapardy.They can lead to major physical problems such as your sex life that will effect your overall mood and add to your depression. It is not well known that there are alternatives out there due to the constant advertisement of the antidepressants, but there is indeed many alternatives that people are able to try out. These alternatives have positive effects and are healthy to both mind and body.
