What’s the big outcome / result that the “Anti-Virus for The Mind” mental health program provides?

Good question! Glad they asked…

Other than GETTING RID OF DEPRESSION, FAST and EASILY and literally GETTING YOUR LIFE BACK … improving your quality of life and getting out of the personal hell you’ve been living in your mind, well…

I asked some of my clients from the last few years. Here’s what that outcome sounds like from my client’s perspectives… with a few clarification notes…

Here’s what it’ll do for you:

You won’t feel depressed anymore. You’ll be able to feel happy again.

You’ll find yourself interested in the things you used to like but just might not feel like doing at the moment.

If there’s something that you feel bad, worthless or guilty about, you won’t feel that way anymore.

You’ll have a normal appetite again. If you have weird cravings now, those will most likely subside.

If you were gaining significant weight (44% of people with depression do), you won’t feel the need to eat like you do (emotional eating or binge eating).

If you were having a hard time maintaining your weight (12% of people with depression do), your weight will balance out again. (You won’t feel like something is eating you up inside and you won’t find that you have no appetite anymore).

You’ll be able to sleep again at night. You won’t wake up between 1-3 am thinking about what’s bothering you subconsciously.

You won’t have a hard time staying awake anymore. (Because you’ll be able to sleep full nights, and you won’t be thinking about the thing that’s bothering you non-stop and wasting your energy on it. (Your brain uses ~20% of your energy when it’s doing nothing. Imagine how much it uses when it’s doing something and can’t stop).

If you’re currently having night terrors or flashbacks, you won’t have them anymore.

Your energy levels will go back to normal. And you’ll feel like you have energy again.

You won’t blow up or freak out on people so easily anymore, if you do now. The things you went through that cause that problem won’t bother you anymore so you won’t overreact like you might currently.

You won’t feel as defensive as you do because you won’t feel on edge anymore, if you currently do.

You’ll be able to think and concentrate again.

You’ll have a clear mind.

You’ll regain your attention span.

You’re ability to learn, retain and recall information easily will increase.

Basically, your marks will go up in school, if you’re in school. Your work performance will increase effortlessly.

You won’t experience brain fog anymore.

If you’re looking for an exit strategy or a way out and suicide seems like your only option. You won’t feel that way anymore.

Your sex drive will go back to normal.

You won’t experience the symptoms of depression anymore.

You’ll Break Out Of These Cycles:

You won’t feel the need to be on meds to feel somewhat “normal” and get through your days.

You won’t be stuck taking meds anymore (average duration 5.5 years) or paying for meds (average cost $7,499.42 out of pocket according to NAMI).

You won’t have to do therapy anymore or keep reliving the crap that caused the problem in the first place (which inherently makes it worse and keeps you feeling crappy.)

You won’t be stuck wasting time in therapy (average duration 5.8 years) or paying for therapy anymore (average cost $7,371.00 according to NAMI).

You won’t feel the need to drink, do drugs or smoke as much to self medicate and calm your mind / shut your brain off.

17% of people with depression drink alcohol excessively.
22% of people with depression take up smoking or increase the amount they smoke.
8% of people with depression use recreational drugs excessively.

You’ll save all the money you’d spend on that stuff to try and self-medicate… The average cumulative cost of that stuff is $8,065.80 (According to NAMI).

You won’t find yourself attracting abusive people anymore because you won’t look like a victim. When you empower yourself through our program, you have a very different confident body posture and positive energy about you.

If you’re getting in trouble with the law (4% of people with depression do) you won’t feel like doing things that cause those problems.

If you keep finding yourself in fights (6% of people with depression do), you’ll find things don’t set you off the way they used to because you’ll have empowered yourself.

Improvements in Your Work:

If you’re taking time off work because of depression, you’ll gain an average of seven workweeks a year. – Employers keep a close eye on this and tend to fire people who miss too much work.

If you feel like you’re an underachiever right now, you’ll be able to feel like an achiever again.

That’s the outcome and result that our program gets for people.

Our program has been getting a lot of attention with the “Anti-Virus for The Mind” since having been featured in the national news on FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN etc.. Our approach is still very low key, one on one… I’m a small town boy so I understand the importance of that stuff.

The nice thing about our method is that it’s “Content Free”, that means that we don’t need you to tell us what happened, we can help you with out even having you talk about the traumatic event(s), so you don’t have to relive what you went through.

We work with the structure of the problem, not the symptoms. We make sure that our clients get the best treatment possible, quickly and efficiently.

If you want this result / outcome for yourself, here’s what to do next:

If the results listed above and the set of outcomes listed above are something to you’d like for yourself then feel free to reach out and chat me up or email me (Etienne@EtienneGravel.com) and we can get on a call and talk a bit.

If you know someone that could use these results for themselves, one of your kids or relatives etc… then feel free pass this on to them and have them reach out.

Obviously everyone has a different story (everyone’s different) and each case is different and requires an individual diagnosis, so my process is to get on a call with you and see exactly where things are at and see if our program is a good fit for you.

“Depression has a recipe; 
but it’s not what you’ve been taught.”

Every problem has a structure and so does every solution. Depression has a structure… In fact, there is a reason why it’s called a disorder and not a disease…

‘They’ teach us that depression is the result of a chemical imbalance but there’s a high likelihood that it’s not and I’ll explain why shortly. It’s the difference between correlation and causation. Correlation between two variables does not necessarily imply that one causes the other.

They don’t want you to know that every thought is a chemical reaction and that reaction is a result of something you do – very fast, inside your mind, in effect what you think.

They don’t tell you that you can create any chemical environment in your brain at will, and also change any chemical environment at will. It’s a bit of a secret. If you’re a Mind Expert, that change is easy. It is so easy that if everyone knew it, many drugs you may have been poisoned with, would disappear – forever… and the drug companies would lose their shirts, alcohol wouldn’t sell like it does and neither would recreational drugs, I’ll explain why in a bit…

Depression is defined by the presence of some common symptoms. It presents itself as a problem based on a certain set of symptoms; what they don’t tell you is that the symptoms of depression are symptoms of another problem, a bigger problem that goes way deeper and we’re going to expose the secret; that is, we are going to expose the real cause of depression in this report.

Albert Einstein once said, “You cannot solve problems with the same level of consciousness that created them.” What that means is that when you create the problem you’re in a different mindset than the one you need to be in to solve the problem and we’ll explain why…

Note to the reader: There are areas of this report, which you may find repetitive. There are two reasons; 1) the root cause of all the symptoms of depression is the same. You’ll see the root cause surface and resurface in different areas of the report. 2) The intended audience of this report is people suffering from different symptoms of depression, but not necessarily all of the symptoms of depression. In that respect, if you find yourself having a hard time focusing or concentrating (which is one of the known symptoms of depression), this report is designed to be read in small chunks. It is designed to be an easy read for everyone. It explains and exposes what the real cause of depression is.

If you read carefully, you may discover new things you were not aware of before in your life and your current situation that you may find very helpful in leading your down a new much more beneficial path and finally in the direction of getting the outcome that you want by investing in yourself through our program, should you choose to.

Moving forward, we’re going to take this from the top down first and that means from the top that is depression, down through to its symptoms, and then right down to its root cause. We will do this for each of the symptoms in the set of symptoms known to lead to or be part of what is referred to as depression.

We’ll expose the root cause of each symptom one by one. And as you read this report you might find yourself beginning and continuing to realize that all of the symptoms of depression come from one root cause.
In order for someone to be depressed, there have to be certain symptoms present.

Are You Feeling Depressed?

You might find yourself feeling depressed. Do you know what it’s like when you feel low- depressed most of the time, almost every day? Do you feel unable to enjoy things you used to enjoy? Do you feel like you don’t want to connect with other people? Maybe even suffering unexplained physical pains and fatigue.

Have you had other people tell you, “You look sad, gloomy or depressed”?

Do you know what it’s like to hear other people tell you that you’re depressed? Do you know what it’s like to be on the edge of tears or burst into tears unexpectedly? Do you also know what it’s like to feel irritated by things that shouldn’t irritate you? Have you found yourself unmotivated or unable to complete tasks you used to find easy to complete?

Have you ever wondered why that might be happening?

Do you know how it feels to have been through something that’s left an unresolved conflict inside your mind?

In order to feel depressed you have to have been through something that you haven’t been able to resolve effectively. And since it’s still going on inside your mind, you’re still feeling it. It doesn’t really matter what’s going on around you because your mind is preoccupied in trying to solve the problem.

The reason you’re feeling the way you do is that the traumatic event you experienced has left you feeling a certain way. Sometimes it makes you feel worthless or guilty, and that’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved. Moreover you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it and not be bothered by it anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

Losing Interest in Things You Used to Enjoy?

You might feel like you have no interest in things you used to like. Do you know what it’s like to have no interest in things you used to like? Do you know what it’s like to feel that way almost all the time, almost every day? Have you ever wondered why that might be happening?

In order to lose interest in things you used to like, you have to have been through something that you haven’t been able to resolve. And since it’s still going on inside your mind you’re still feeling it. It doesn’t really matter what’s going on around you because your mind is preoccupied in trying to solve the problem.

And if this is happening, the reason you’re feeling the way you do is that the traumatic event you went through has left you feeling a certain way. For most people it makes them feel worthless or guilty.

And if this is how you feel, that’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.
The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

Losing Your Appetite / Changes in Your Weight?

You might find yourself loosing your appetite. Do you know what it’s like to loose your appetite? Do you know what it’s like to feel like you have to force yourself to eat? Do you know what it’s like to end up with different cravings?

Do you know what it’s like to loose or gain weight for no apparent reason?

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness – NAMI’s report on the cost of depression: 44 % of people dealing with depression have gained significant weight due to depression, 12% of people have lost significant weight due to depression.

In order to loose or gain weight like this, you have to have been through something that you haven’t been able to resolve and some of the following things need to be happening:

Weight Loss

1. Your brain is using additional energy to try and resolve the conflict that was introduced by the traumatic experience you went through.
2. You feel like something is eating you up inside and that’s also the result of having an unresolved conflict that’s been introduced by a traumatic experience.
3. Your brain/mind needs fuel and it’s creating specific food cravings to fuel itself to do its job. Ever felt like you needed something sweet but you weren’t sure why? This is a very unconscious process that not many people understand. Your brain/mind uses about 20% of your energy to run on idle. Can you imagine how much energy it requires to solve a problem that it doesn’t have the proper resources to solve? – Can you say over-drive?

Weight Gain

If you’re gaining weight then it’s probably because when you feel yucky, you end up eating emotionally, What that means is that you get a temporary high when you eat and that after your full you probably feel like crap cause you might have over eaten which usually leads to one of two things, eating more once you’ve digested what you ate or working out like crazy to get rid of the weight you could be putting on and then the cycle repeats back in to eating when you feel yucky.

If you’re taking meds, depending on the ones you’re taking; some meds have the side effect of making people gain weight and keep gaining as a result of the use of meds. According to Robert Whitaker in Anatomy of an Epidemic, people who are diagnosed with Bi-Polar are often prescribed an atypical antipsychotic, such as Zyprexa (Olanzapine), and those drugs regularly cause people to put on the pounds.

Either Way:

And if this is happening, it’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

Having a Hard Time Sleeping or 
Having a Hard Time Staying Awake?

You might be finding it hard to fall asleep.

Do you know what it’s like when you can’t get back to sleep because you have that unresolved conflict going on in your mind all the time? Do you know what it’s like to have night terrors and flashbacks?

Do you know what it’s like to feel tired all the time and feel like you have no energy? The reason you’re feeling that way is because you can’t get a good night’s sleep or the sleep you are getting is not quality sleep. Your brain/mind is using various resources (physical, emotional and chemical etc.), effectively robbing you of energy that you would normally have for other activities.

And if this is happening, it’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

Lack of Energy or Feeling Tired All The Time?

You might find yourself feeling tired all the time. Do you know what it’s like to feel tired all the time and feel like you have no energy? The reason you’re feeling that way is because you can’t get a good night’s sleep or you can’t get quality sleep.

If that’s how you feel, it’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.
Involuntary Movements/Reflexes or Reactions?

You might find yourself having nervous ticks or involuntary movements. Do you know what it’s like to be re-living something that happened in the past over and over again, inside your mind? Do you know what it’s like to be stuck in that memory? Do you know what it’s like to have reactions that you can barely control because of that memory? Do you know what it’s like to feel restless? Do you know what it’s like to feel like you’re not running at 100%. Do you know what it’s like to get lost in your thoughts? Do you know what it’s like for people to ask you what’s wrong and ask you why you’re different than you used to be? Do you know what it’s like for people to ask you what’s bugging you?

Do you know what it’s like to have a hard time thinking and concentrating? It is almost as if you had mind fog or you’re feeling unclear in your thoughts? Do you know what it’s like to feel indecisive, fearful and/or hesitant?
And that’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

Having a Hard Time Thinking and/or Concentrating?

You might find yourself having a hard time thinking or concentrating. Do you know what it’s like to have a hard time thinking and concentrating? Do you know what it’s like to feel indecisive and have a hard time making decisions? Do you feel like you can’t focus?

If you’re feeling that way, it’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event. Did you know that your brain uses 20% of your energy while it’s idle? Can you imagine how much energy it uses when it’s trying to resolve a conflict? Can you imagine how much extra energy it needs when it doesn’t have the right tools? It’s like trying to bike up a steep hill or a mountain on a tricycle. It doesn’t work. You need a mountain bike for that. You need the right resource.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

Feeling Worthless and/or Guilty?

You might find yourself feeling worthless and/or guilty. Do you know what it’s like to feel worthless or guilty almost all the time? Do you know what it’s like to feel sick for no reason?

Do you know what it’s like to have an unresolved conflict bouncing around in your head making you feel that way?

If you’re feeling this way it’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

Have You Ever Considered Suicide?

You might even find yourself having thoughts of dying. You might even be having ideas about how to commit suicide. You might have even planned it out. You might have even tried it.

If you’re feeling this way, the reason you might be feeling this way is because the resolution to this unresolved conflict seems impossible and / or hopeless. Maybe you know that you can’t solve the problem yourself and you feel hopeless. Your brain/mind is desperately searching for an exit strategy.

Your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event. And since it hasn’t resolved it yet, one of the options it may have come up with is just to end things.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

And this leads us to the real problem…

And That’s The Missing Link…


Depression is the result of an unresolved conflict inside your mind. The unresolved conflict is the result of a traumatic event.

Depression’s Vicious Cycles

The First Vicious Cycle: 
“The Depression Cycle”

The First Vicious Cycle: “The Depression Cycle” That is to say an endless loop or a recurring pattern. As long as you have this unresolved conflict and you don’t have the proper resources to solve the problem, your brain is going to be busy trying to solve the problem using whatever resources it can, even if they aren’t the right ones. And as long as that’s happening, you’re going to feel depressed and experience most of the symptoms of depression if not all and it can get worse because as long as your mind is trying to solve the problem, you’ll keep experiencing the symptoms.

Now if we flip it and if we look at it from the bottom to the top, from the root cause to the symptoms of depression, you can expect to identify with and/or to experience any of the following:
It starts like this…

Something bad happened (a traumatic event or a series of traumatic events) and has created an unresolved conflict inside your mind. You don’t have the proper resources to solve it or figure it out in a way that stops it from bothering you. This will cause symptoms of depression to remain until the problem is solved. Your mind will continue to try to solve the problem. Your mind will use the available resources and most likely will try to find additional resources to assist it in its job (and that’s probably why you’re here now).

As your mind continues trying to solve the problem, you will most likely experience the following symptoms.

You might find yourself losing weight or your weight may fluctuate abnormally. 
Your appetite may decrease. You may find yourself craving things.

You might have a hard time sleeping and if you wake up during the night, you might have a hard time falling back asleep.

You might find yourself waking up earlier than usual.

You might find yourself feeling tired during the day.

You might feel like you don’t have any energy.

You might find yourself having a low or reduced level of sexual interest or desire.

You might find that you have a hard time thinking, focusing or concentrating.

You might feel indecisive.

You might find yourself having unexplained reactions that link back to what your thinking or what you’ve experienced that’s bothering you – flashbacks.

You might find yourself feeling worthless or guilty.

You might feel sick or have aches and pains for no apparent reason.

You might feel depressed or cranky or irritable. You might not feel like doing things you used to enjoy.

You might not feel interested in most things.

You might have a hard time feeling pleasure.

You might be feeling distressed or impaired in important areas of life. You might be considering suicide.

You might even be planning suicide.

You might have even planned suicide already. You might have already tried suicide.

All of this is the result of an unresolved conflict in your mind, which underlies and leads to the symptoms of “Depression” and has been caused by a “Traumatic Event.”

Imagine what life was like with out this problem and how good things could be. Imagine what it could be without this problem, how much freedom you can have.

Imagine having someone you dearly love standing in front of you right now. Imagine seeing them going through all of the bad stuff listed in the sections above, now that you are becoming more aware of what’s really happening.

Now, as you look at that person that you really care for and want the best for, knowing what you know now, and seeing them going through all of these troubling thoughts and trying desperately to solve this problem without the right tools. As you realize that there’s no escape doing it the way they are doing it.

What would it take for you to take action and help that person? How fast would you get completely motivated, or more motivated than you’ve ever been before and decide to take action now and get help for that person?

Now imagine that person is you and you’ve been standing in front of a mirror all this time, seeing what’s really going on. Now as you step back in to yourself and turn around to go about your day having these new understandings inside your mind.

As you keep reading, ask yourself what’s your next step? What are you willing to invest in yourself to solve this problem? How quickly are you willing to invest in yourself to solve this problem? How committed are you to getting the outcome you want?


When it comes to Depression, Drugs Only Mask The Symptoms.

Consider the following excerpt from an article in Mental Health News by Sunny Wiseman entitled “Antidepressant Use May Not Prevent Depression Relapse”:

“A growing concern about relapse of depression symptoms has sparked recent controversy. Recently, a study analyzed statistics of depression relapse in patients who stopped taking antidepressant medications, and it was discovered that at least two-thirds of patients who will relapse would do so in the first six months of stopping medication for depression. The study was undertaken to determine the role that antidepressant medication plays in the depression relapse after remission of symptoms and ways to help prevent future episodes of depression.

The study, led by Brian Briscoe, M.D. of the University of Louisville, Kentucky, analyzed research from 16 studies on antidepressants and prevention of depression in order to ascertain an understanding of medication’s effect on depression relapse. It also aimed to address the growing controversy about the effectiveness of long-term use of antidepressants in preventing future bouts of depression. The studies used in this project focused on patients who were treated for at least three bouts of major depression and successfully attained remission of all symptoms for at least four weeks after the last episode. Patients were then assigned to take either an antidepressant medication or a placebo.

After eighteen months of antidepressant or placebo treatment, relapse rates were analyzed and it was determined that 10% to 30% of patients on the antidepressant medication relapsed, while 25% to 80% of patients taking the placebo relapsed.

Overall, patients on the placebo regimen worsened in terms of depression relapse, but the rate of relapse in those study participants taking an antidepressant was significantly high, as well, indicating that relapse is likely despite medicinal assistance.

Overall, the study determined that 67% to 85% of patients on the placebo relapsed within six months, with most of the relapse episodes occurring within the first month of stopping regular treatment with an antidepressant medication. Dr. Briscoe, summarizing the study’s findings stated, “If you don’t get depressed within the first six months after coming off the medication, you may not be at any higher risk of being depressed than any other patient.”

What this really means is that the people who relapsed still have the underlying unresolved conflict from the traumatic event. As long as the conflict continues to exist, they will continue to relapse. It’s an endless cycle.

The Second Vicious Cycle:
 “The Prescription Medication Cycle”

And this introduces The Second Vicious Cycle: “The Prescription Medication Cycle.” As long as the unresolved conflict exists, if you’re on drugs, you’re going to have to stay on the drugs because if you get off the drugs, you’re going to get depressed again over and over until the unresolved conflict is properly resolved. The Drug companies hope that you never resolve the conflict because it’s how they make money on a recurring basis with everyone.
Consider this: the average duration of the course in taking prescription meds according to NAMI is 5.5 years, which equates to and average of $113.80 monthly and adds up to $7,499.42 over 5.5 years in out of pocket expenses per person.

That was back in 2006, costs only rise with inflation.

Now consider what you could have if you didn’t have to spend that money on meds and you could have invested it. $113.63 invested monthly with 10% compound interest over 5.5 years would yield an additional $2,532.14 in revenue for a total investment value of $10,045.94 in your pocket rather than loosing $7,499.42 in prescription medication costs, and that doesn’t include whatever interest you’re paying out if you put that on a line of credit of any kind. (That’s a difference of $17,545.36.)

The Third Vicious Cycle:
 “The Ineffective Therapy Cycle”

During the course of the administration of the drugs, they recommend things like depression therapy. The problem with depression therapy i.e. talk therapy is that it rarely ever works because there is no reliable system or methodology to verify or guarantee the result; the desired result being the removal of the conflict. It’s a subjective experience. If the counselor is good and you are a willing participant who will work hard to deal with the trauma causing the depression, you might get good results. If the counselor is bad, well I’m sure you can figure out what happens in that case… when you use rotten eggs to make egg salad, you get rotten egg salad, no secret there…

Further to that most of the therapists will ask you to tell them what happened and to be honest with you, if you’re feeling guilty or yucky about the whole thing, you probably don’t want to talk about it. So long story short you have a situation where, you, the client doesn’t want to talk about the problem and you have a counselor trying to help by using an ineffective therapy model which requires you to talk about the problem. So you end up with the same problem you had before which is an unresolved conflict. You keep doing this once a week or so until finally, you may get tired of seeing the counselor and look for a better option.

The average duration of the course in talk therapy according to NAMI is 5.8 years, which equates to an average of $7,371.00 in out of pocket expenses per person.

Now consider what you could have if you didn’t have to spend that money on therapy and you could have invested it. $105.30 invested monthly with 10% compound interest over 5.8 years would yield an additional $2,747.95 in revenue for a total investment value of $10,224.25 in your pocket rather than loosing $7,371.00 in therapy, and that doesn’t include whatever interest you’re paying out if you put that on a line of credit of any kind. (That’s a difference of $17,595.25.)

Look at the statistics above and it’s pretty clear that one could extrapolate that most of the counselors out there using things like talk therapy aren’t really all that effective, if at all.

Moreover, if you do decide to talk about it, you end up reliving the experience that caused the problem in the first place which inherently has the ability and/or side effect of making things worse for some people. It’s like breaking an arm, then watching it heal a bit and then breaking it again, over and over and over… it sounds, looks and feels like a bad idea because it is a bad idea.

You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t with an ineffective therapy model. If you’ve been through it, you probably know what I’m talking about.

And that’s The Third Vicious Cycle: “Ineffective Therapy Cycle”, because both of those paths lead to the same or worse unresolved conflict and you have to relive the traumatic experience over and over, again and again, – with an ineffective treatment model, this can go on forever. And therapists love this because it brings them continuous streams of income, one for each client they have. Some of them don’t really want you to get better because it’s bad business for them.

The Fourth Vicious Cycle:
 “The Substance Abuse Cycle”

Alcohol and Drugs

You might even find yourself using alcohol and drugs to turn your brain off or calm your mind. The first part of the brain that shuts off when people drink is the conscious process; that is the part of your mind that reasons things out and of which you’re primarily aware. People do this because they can’t cope with the feelings that the unresolved conflict generates as a result of the traumatic event. It’s quite common, in fact according to NAMI 17% of people who have depression have consumed alcohol excessively. And that’s not all; there are add-on risks to drinking alcohol excessively.

And this introduces The Fourth Vicious Cycle: “The Substance Abuse Cycle”. Alcohol is a depressant in almost every case. What this means is that if you’re already feeling depressed and you drink alcohol, you’re likely to get even more depressed as you find your way going down the downward spiral of depression and this cycle can continue endlessly. If you’re not aware, that it is indeed a cycle, you might be well on your way to experiencing a very dangerous cycle of addiction.

People use alcohol and drugs in an effort to self medicate but these substances cause significantly more harm than good, and some substances which are highly addictive can carry additional risks. A lot of this is seen in depressed people prior to treatment… Here is some information from NMHA’s Campaign for America’s Mental Health:

“When people are depressed, they may experience other health or mental health problems. To relieve the misery of depression, some people turn to drugs or alcohol. Likewise, when people abuse alcohol and/or drugs, depression can develop. On the surface, it may seem like a good idea – to get high, to have fun, to relax, and to escape – but the consequences of alcohol and drug abuse soon become apparent in your life. Like depression, alcohol and drug abuse is serious. Fortunately, it is also treatable and the key to treatment is to recognize the symptoms and to get help. Take a look at this basic information about the connection between alcohol and/or drug abuse and depression.

The Basics

Alcohol abuse does lasting damage. One night of heavy drinking can impair your ability to think well for up to 30 days. Tens of thousands of today’s college students will eventually die of alcohol-related causes, such as accidents, cirrhosis of the liver, heart disease and other diseases. Women are also more likely to develop alcohol-related organ damage, developing liver disease sooner than men, and perhaps increasing the risk for breast cancer.

Behavioral changes and consequences of drug abuse may include changes in overall personality, depression, declining grades, loss of interest in family and friends, over-sensitivity, moodiness, nervousness, paranoia, secretive or suspicious behavior, and excessive talkativeness. Often people also experience difficulty in paying attention, and a general lack of motivation and energy, sometimes characterized by a “who cares” attitude.

Physical changes associated with drug abuse are often changes in eating habits, lack of physical coordination, puffy face, hyperactivity, tremors, excessive sweating, runny nose or hacking cough.
Alcohol abuse can compromise your personal safety. As many as 70% of college students admit to having engaged in sexual activity as a result of alcohol influence, and 90% of all campus rapes occur when alcohol has been used by either the victim or the assailant.

Alcohol lowers inhibitions, and can make people more vulnerable to troublesome situations. When women drink alcohol they are more easily impaired than men, because of the way their body absorbs the alcohol. People’s perceptions of potentially dangerous situations often change when alcohol or drugs are involved.“
Moving forward, alcohol and drugs cost a considerable amount of money. If you’re using them, you know what I mean. It’s a constant drain on your bank account that you could be investing somewhere else not to mention what they do to your health and fitness.

According to NAMI’s report on the cost of depression; 17 % of people dealing with depression have consumed alcohol excessively, 22% of people have taken up smoking or increased the amount of cigarette’s they smoke due to depression and 8% have used illegal drugs or have used drugs recreationally due to depression. According to NAMI’s report the average cumulative cost of these negative experiences is $8,065.80.

What does that really look like on a personal level? Here are a few scenarios…

If you drink a case of beer a week in Canada, that’s $39.50 for Miller Genuine Draft, multiply that by 52 weeks and you’re looking at $2,054.00 yearly. If you’re drinking two cases a week then it’s $4,108.00 yearly. If you’re going through three cases a week then it’s $6,162.00 a year. I’ve seen some clients go through two or three bottles of wine a night, let’s say the average bottle is worth $15.00, that’s $30.00 to $45.00 per night so it’s between $10,950.00 and $16,425.00 per year. A bottle of Vodka (26oz) is $25.95; say you have one of those every couple of days, that’s about $4,735.88 a year in alcohol costs. The costs add up fast… This should help to clarify the impact of using alcohol; I won’t even bother covering the cost of drugs… as outlined above there are significant “Add-On” costs involved in being depressed. And that’s not all…

It Gets Even Worse, Here’s The Real Shot In The Gut!

And it’s a sneaky one…

The Fifth Vicious Cycle: 
“The Victim of Abuse Cycle”

This isn’t just about getting rid of depression; this is about protecting yourself against other traumatic events that can happen as a result of being depressed. And that’s The Fifth Vicious Cycle: “The Victim of Abuse Cycle”. As long as you’re depressed, you’re an open target for predators and abusers. You’ll attract them like a magnet without even being aware of it. Are you attracting the wrong kind of people in to your life? Those type of people look for people with low self-esteem and to be perfectly honest, substance abuse issues just make it easier for them. As mentioned above, drugs and alcohol just lower your inhibitions. In other words you’re practically defenseless.

If they get to you, and you fall prey to them, you’ll have the makings of another traumatic event on your hands and then things just get a lot worse. They compound.

What this means effectively is that as long as you’re showing symptoms of depression, you’re broadcasting the following message to other people: “I’m a victim and I haven’t done anything about it. Therefore, it’s ok to victimize me!” – And they will. This phenomenon is similar to the law of attraction. It’s like having an antenna mounted on your head attracting more and more bad things to yourself and your loved ones (We’ll explain this shortly in the next section, This isn’t just costing you. It’s also costing your family if you have one). Until you fix the problem; you’re like a deer in headlights…

According to NAMI’s report on the cost of depression; 4 % of people dealing with depression have had encounters with the law due to depression, 6% of people have had fights due to depression.

For all of these reasons (vicious cycles), some people think that depression is impossible to conquer.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” – Albert Einstein

The simple truth is…

Depression is the result of an unresolved conflict inside your mind.

The unresolved conflict is the result of a traumatic event.

Depression’s Hidden Costs, Add-On Costs and 
The Actual Costs

“Children or adults who suffer from depression have lower incomes, lower educational attainment and fewer days working each year. They become habitual underachievers.
In fact, these psychological problems lead to seven fewer weeks of work per year, a loss of 20 percent in potential income, and a lifetime loss of $300,000 for each family who has a depressed family member (Smith & Smith, 2010).” (Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., 2010)

It gets worse…

“People who suffer from depression end up with six-tenths of a year less schooling, an 11 percent decrease in the probability of getting married, and a loss (on average) of $10,400 per year in income by age 50 (Smith & Smith, 2010). In fact, there is a 35 percent decrease in lifetime income – due to depression.” (Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., 2010)
That boils down to $28.49 per day that’s not even making it in to your pocket…

“Depression is widespread and it is still getting worse. Twenty percent of the north-American population will suffer from depression at some time during their lives. Sadly, depression hits the young and old alike. Fifty percent of children and adolescents and 20 percent of adults report some symptoms of depression. Even though many kids don’t “qualify” for the clinical diagnosis of depression, they have some of the symptoms that “truly depressed” people have – such as sadness, self-criticism, and the inability to enjoy their lives.

Many of these depressed kids eventually become depressed adults. And, it’s getting worse in recent decades (Kessler and Walters, 1998; Ronald C. Kessler, Avenevoli, & Ries Merikangas, 2001). Kids born after 1960 were significantly more likely to suffer from depression in childhood or adolescence than kids born before 1960 (Klearman, G.L., Weissman,M.M.(1989)). Depression is on the rise – and the costs are escalating.” (Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., 2010)

“20% of Canadians will personally experience a mental illness in their lifetime.” “Approximately 8% of adults will experience major depression at some time in their lives.” “About 1% of Canadians will experience bipolar disorder (or “manic depression”). Anxiety disorders affect 5% of the household population, causing mild to severe impairment.” “Suicide accounts for 24% of all deaths among 15-24 year olds and 16% among 25-44 year olds. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in both men and women from adolescence to middle age. The mortality rate due to suicide among men is four times the rate among women.” (C.M.H.A., 2012)
Now, Consider the Human Costs

“Depression has human costs that we all know of: sadness, sense of isolation, feeling like a burden, inability to enjoy life, and – for 35,000 people every year–suicide (Joiner, 2010). In fact, people who are depressed are 30 times more likely to kill themselves than people who are not depressed (Hawton, 1992). Depressed individuals are five times more likely to abuse drugs. These costs in the quality of life are enough to make us all concerned about depression. They are the human costs; which are widespread and touch almost every family in America.” (Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., 2010)

Now, Add the Significant and Alarming Economic Costs

“Depression is the leading cause of medical disability for people aged 14 to 44 (Stewart, Ricci, Chee, Hahn, & Morganstein, 2003). Depressed people lose 5.6 hours of productive work every week when they are depressed (Stewart, 2003). Eighty percent of depressed people are impaired in their daily functioning (Pratt & Brody, 2008). Fifty percent of the loss of work productivity is due to absenteeism and short-term disability (R. C. Kessler, et al., 1999). In any 30 day period, depressed workers have 1.5 to 3.2 more short-term disability days (Druss, Schlesinger, & Allen, 2001).

People with symptoms of depression are 2.17 times more likely to take sick days (Adler, et al., 2006; Greener & Guest, 2007). And when they are at work their productivity is impaired–less ability to concentrate, lower efficiency, and less ability to organize work. In fact, absenteeism and work performance are directly related to how severe the depression is–the more severe the depression, the worse the outcome. In one study the costs of absenteeism were directly related to actually taking antidepressant medication (Birnbaum, et al., 2010; Dewa, Hoch, Lin, Paterson, & Goering, 2003). Those who took the prescribed medication had a 20 percent lower cost of absenteeism. Depressed people are seven times more likely to be unemployed (Lerner, et al., 2004).
In one of the largest studies of its nature (“The long-term effects of psychological problems during childhood”), children were followed for 40 years to determine the effects of illness and psychological problems on their life chances (Smith & Smith, 2010). Children or adults who suffer from depression have lower incomes, lower educational attainment and fewer days working each year. In fact, these psychological problems lead to seven fewer weeks of work per year, a loss of 20 percent in potential income, and a lifetime loss for each family who has a depressed family member of $300,000 (Smith & Smith, 2010).

People who suffer from depression end up with six-tenths of a year less schooling, an 11 percent decrease in the probability of getting married, and a loss (on average) of $10,400 per year in income by age 50 (Smith & Smith, 2010). In fact, there is a 35 percent decrease in lifetime income–due to depression. The cost for the total group– over one’s lifetime–is estimated at 2.1 trillion dollars (Smith & Smith, 2010). And this does not include the increased cost of medical care that all of us must assume. Depression is a lifelong vulnerability for millions of people. And it’s a national economic crisis.

The cost of depression (lost productivity and increased medical expenses) is $83 billion each year, which exceeds the costs of the war in Afghanistan (Greenberg, et al., 2003). And depression is not a “limited engagement” with a fixed endpoint. These costs reoccur each year, every year, for the foreseeable future. Depression is an ongoing war that we may only recently recognize is a difficult one–but a potentially winnable war.” (Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., 2010)

“The economic cost of mental illnesses in Canada for the health care system was estimated to be at least $7.9 billion in 1998 – $4.7 billion in care, and $3.2 billion in disability and early death. An additional $6.3 billion was spent on uninsured mental health services and time off work for depression and distress that was not treated by the health care system. In 1999, 3.8% of all admissions in general hospitals (1.5 million hospital days) were due to anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, major depression, personality disorders, eating disorders and suicidal behavior. Sources: The Report on Mental Illness in Canada, October 2002. EBIC 1998 (Health Canada 2002), Stephens et al., 2001.” (C.M.H.A., 2012)

Now, Look At How It Impacts Our Youth

“It is estimated that 10-20% of Canadian youth are affected by a mental illness or disorder – the single most disabling group of disorders worldwide. Today, approximately 5% of male youth and 12% of female youth, age 12 to 19, have experienced a major depressive episode. The total number of 12-19 year olds in Canada at risk for developing depression is a staggering 3.2 million. Once depression is recognized, help can make a difference for 80% of people who are affected, allowing them to get back to their regular activities. Mental illness is increasingly threatening the lives of our children; with Canada’s youth suicide rate the third highest in the industrialized world. Suicide is among the leading causes of death in 15-24 year old Canadians, second only to accidents; 4,000 people die prematurely each year by suicide. Surpassed only by injuries, mental disorders in youth are ranked as the second highest hospital care expenditure in Canada. In Canada, only 1 out of 5 children who need mental health services receives them.” (C.M.H.A., 2012)

Your Quick Introspection:

Take a moment and ask yourself how this problem is affecting you in the following areas and compare yourself to the national averages:

Your Finances:

Do you know what it’s costing you to be depressed?

Did you know that according to NAMI, the average person suffering from depression carries $7068.40 in credit card debt, 19% of people suffering from depression are in debt between $5,000.00 and $24,999.00? On average, these people attribute 30.4% of their debt to depression. 24% of these people have bills more than 60 days over due, 22% reported not being able to afford the necessities of life, 16% report the inability to stop shopping/spending money, 4% are in fear of foreclosure, 19% are in fear of not making their rent/ mortgage payment.

Your Friends and Family:

Do you know how this is affecting your friends and/or your friendships with others? Have you noticed any differences?

Do you know how this is affecting your relationship with your family? If you have children, do you know how this is affecting your children? Have you noticed any differences?

Did you know that according to NAMI, 34% of people suffering from depression have some kind of relationship problem, 9% of people get divorced, 9% result in separation, 6% result in a broken engagement, 25% result in the inability to begin or maintain a romantic relationship?

Did you know that 50% of people suffering from depression have realized that depression hindered their interaction with their children; that 34% have had problems helping their children with their homework, that 43% have had a hard time helping their children with extracurricular activities or sports, 33% have had a hard time cooking or cleaning for their children, 46% have had problems providing emotional support for their children?

Did you know that 43% of people reported a history of depression in their family, 29% reported a history of anxiety in their family, and 16% reported a history of manic depression or bipolar disorder? – Modern views would have you believe that this has to do with genetics but it’s not genetics; it’s environment related…

Your Freedom:

Do you know how this is affecting your freedom? What is it that you used to do that you might not anymore or just plain stopped doing?

Did you know that during the past seven days the average person suffering from depression has missed 9.1 hours of non-work activities (such as social activities, leisure activities, exercise, and sports)? In the last 30 days, their non-work activities were affected during 8.3 days (regular daily activities)

Your Faith:

This one might be a delicate subject for some people and I wouldn’t normally mention it but if you’re religious or spiritual, your faith may or may not have been slowly eroding. Let’s examine how this problem may have been affecting some of your beliefs?

Did you know that 6% report feeling terrible, 15% report feeling unhappy, 16% report feeling mostly dissatisfied? Overall 87% reported anticipating the worst, 91% reported feeling worthless or guilty for no reason, 86% reported consistent sadness, 87% reported irritability, 88% reported nervousness, 94% reported constant worrying, 90% reported feelings of isolation or being uninvolved with family and friends. – These are the feelings that start in your mind and work their way in to your body otherwise known as the mind body connection.

Your Health and Fitness:

How’s your health?

Did you know that 91% reported muscle aches, 90% reported tension, 86% reported restlessness, 81% reported phobias / avoidance of fears, 82% reported heart palpitations, 81% reported shortness of breath, 93% reported trouble sleeping, 86% reported an upset stomach, 69% reported changes in appetite, 74% reported crying, 95% reported low energy or fatigue, 90% reported unexplained pain, 93% reported frequent headaches, 90% reported lack of motivation?

Did you know that 9% reported their health to be poor and 29% reported their health to be fair, 42% reported their health to be good?

Your Fun Factor:

Do you still have fun or is fun out the window these days?

Did you know that 88% reported a loss of interest in their favorite activities, 90% reported a lack of motivation?

Your Work:

Do you know how depression has been affecting your work?

Did you know that during the past seven days the average person suffering from depression has missed 1.6 hours of work activities, in the last 30 days they’ve missed 1.3 days of work activities, in the last 30 days their work productivity has been affected for 6.3 days?

Did you know that 53% reported negative work experiences, 12% missed out on a possible promotion, 14% did not receive raises/bonuses/job opportunities that they should have, 30% used sick days because they couldn’t go in to work, 24% used personal/vacation days because they couldn’t go in to work, 18% quit their job, 11% were fired from their job, 7% were docked pay because of missing work, 26% lost their temper with their co-workers, 4% never work?

Your Education:

If you’re in school or were recently in school, has this affected your education?

Did you know that 48% of students suffering from depression have reported negative school experiences, 15% have dropped out of school, 3% had to be held back in school, 22% didn’t pursue another degree even though they had wanted to, 30% have admitted that their grades suffered, 19% delayed their own schooling, 90% reported trouble concentrating?

Why All The Questions?

These questions are specifically intended to get you to probe around in your mind and see how things used to be and how they are now and how they could be if the problem was gone. Sometimes it takes a bit of thought to identify the size of the gap between what life looks like or used to look like when it was good or great and what it looks like when it’s really bad as it relates to each individual case. For the most part when dealing with depression the gap is pretty darn big and pretty darn pain-full for people experiencing the symptoms and it only gets worse if you don’t address it.

Moving forward, this brings us to how we work to help people… but first a quick story…

There is an old story of a boilermaker who was hired to fix a huge steamship boiler system that was not working well. After listening to the engineer’s description of the problems and asking a few questions, he went to the boiler room. He looked at the maze of twisting pipes, listened to the thump of the boiler and the hiss of escaping steam for a few minutes, and felt some pipes with his hands. Then he hummed softly to himself, reached into his overalls and took out a small hammer, and tapped a bright red valve, once.

Immediately the entire system began working perfectly, and the boilermaker went home. When the steamship owner received a bill for $1,000 he complained that the boilermaker had only been in the engine room for fifteen minutes, and requested an itemized bill. This is what the boilermaker sent him:

For tapping with hammer: $0.50

For knowing where to tap: $999.50

What is really new in AV4TM’s program and methodology is that we have a system. We know exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to do it for attestable, verifiable, clean, clear and self-evident results.

That means you’ll know and feel the difference once you’ve completed the AV4TM program.

The Mind and the brain are similar to a computer in that they process information. Computers process information from various peripherals (mouse, keyboard, microphone, video camera…) People with the use of their

Mind/brain process information that is provided by the senses (sight, hearing, feeling, tasting, smelling…) When a computer is infected with a virus it’s behavior gets messed up. When a person has an unresolved conflict, their behavior changes and they immediately feel different (usually in a bad way, as listed above).

In that respect you can equate an unresolved conflict to a computer virus and therefore a Mind Virus. If you want to get rid of a computer virus, you can do it in several ways. If you’re a skilled computer programmer you can do it by hand, and if not, then you have to go out and buy an anti-virus program and install it on your computer or get a technician to do it. If you have an unresolved conflict; a Mind Virus, you need someone who can get rid of it for you and put things back the way they should be. It takes an Expert in the Mind.

The symptoms that are present in a person who is experiencing depression tell us that there is an unresolved conflict; a Mind Virus in the person’s mind. The Anti-Virus for The Mind is a program you can put to work and use to rid yourself of the things that are bothering you at a core level by identifying the root cause and fixing the actual problem, which inherently, directly affects the way you feel. There are no drugs or any weird stuff involved.

We help people with a variety of mental illness from depression through grief, PTSD, sexual trauma (rape), anxiety, paranoia, suicidal tendencies, and abuse/trauma cases…

We’ve done our best to reveal the real secrets of depression and to help you understand what’s really going on, if you or one of your loved ones has depression.

The Answer to The Missing Link And The Difference That Makes The Difference

One of the most effective programs and methodologies in the world that addresses the root cause, which creates the unresolved conflict, is the Anti-Virus For The Mind Program and Methodology (AV4TM). This is done by decoding and re-encoding the traumatic event(s) in a way that removes the unresolved conflict and therefore inherently removes the symptoms of depression. The nice thing about our method is that it’s “Content Free”. That means that we don’t need you to tell us what happened. We can help you without even having you talk about the traumatic event(s) or re-live them in your mind. We work with the structure of the problem, not the symptoms. We make sure that our clients get the best treatment possible, quickly and efficiently. Information is kept completely confidential.

We offer a FREE Consultation/Strategy Session, for pre- admissions in to our program. Please note: the AV4TM program is available by application only and availability is limited. On the following pages are the steps to get a FREE Consultation/Strategy Session.

A.V.4.T.M. Application Guidelines

Dear Reader,
We will not try to sell you on applying for this program. Instead, we will simply tell you who it is for …and who it’s NOT for.

This program IS for:
1. People who suffer from Depression and are currently experiencing symptoms of depression and want it fixed.

2. People who are taking anti-depressants and want a fighting chance of getting off the drugs.

3. People who know they have an unresolved conflict that was brought on by a traumatic event and want it fixed.

This program is NOT for:
1. People who are not depressed.

2. Doctors who want to obtain licensure for the AV4TM program and methodology. We have a separate program for that and it is by invitation only at this time.

Here’s How It Works:

First, you’ll need to click on the link below. Then you’ll be taken to an application where I ask you all sorts of invasive questions about yourself. OK – they’re not that invasive. I’m just really trying to weed out people who don’t really want help here, so that people who want help can get it, fast.

Anyway, the application will come to my office and one of two things will happen.

One, I’ll decide we’re not a good match and I’ll let you know politely. Or two, I’ll decide we MIGHT be a good match and someone from my office will schedule a call to see if we really are.

Nobody will pressure you or hassle you… If you want in, great… If not, no problem… We’re cool either way.

I’m only looking for around 20 people.

I’ll review applications on a first come, first-served basis.

It gets worse…

“People who suffer from depression end up with six-tenths of a year less schooling, an 11 percent decrease in the probability of getting married, and a loss (on average) of $10,400 per year in income by age 50 (Smith & Smith, 2010). In fact, there is a 35 percent decrease in lifetime income – due to depression.” (Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., 2010)
That boils down to $28.49 per day that’s not even making it in to your pocket…

“Depression is widespread and it is still getting worse. Twenty percent of the north-American population will suffer from depression at some time during their lives. Sadly, depression hits the young and old alike. Fifty percent of children and adolescents and 20 percent of adults report some symptoms of depression. Even though many kids don’t “qualify” for the clinical diagnosis of depression, they have some of the symptoms that “truly depressed” people have – such as sadness, self-criticism, and the inability to enjoy their lives.

Many of these depressed kids eventually become depressed adults. And, it’s getting worse in recent decades (Kessler and Walters, 1998; Ronald C. Kessler, Avenevoli, & Ries Merikangas, 2001). Kids born after 1960 were significantly more likely to suffer from depression in childhood or adolescence than kids born before 1960 (Klearman, G.L., Weissman,M.M.(1989)). Depression is on the rise – and the costs are escalating.” (Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., 2010)

“20% of Canadians will personally experience a mental illness in their lifetime.” “Approximately 8% of adults will experience major depression at some time in their lives.” “About 1% of Canadians will experience bipolar disorder (or “manic depression”). Anxiety disorders affect 5% of the household population, causing mild to severe impairment.” “Suicide accounts for 24% of all deaths among 15-24 year olds and 16% among 25-44 year olds. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death in both men and women from adolescence to middle age. The mortality rate due to suicide among men is four times the rate among women.” (C.M.H.A., 2012)
Now, Consider the Human Costs

“Depression has human costs that we all know of: sadness, sense of isolation, feeling like a burden, inability to enjoy life, and – for 35,000 people every year–suicide (Joiner, 2010). In fact, people who are depressed are 30 times more likely to kill themselves than people who are not depressed (Hawton, 1992). Depressed individuals are five times more likely to abuse drugs. These costs in the quality of life are enough to make us all concerned about depression. They are the human costs; which are widespread and touch almost every family in America.” (Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., 2010)

Now, Add the Significant and Alarming Economic Costs

“Depression is the leading cause of medical disability for people aged 14 to 44 (Stewart, Ricci, Chee, Hahn, & Morganstein, 2003). Depressed people lose 5.6 hours of productive work every week when they are depressed (Stewart, 2003). Eighty percent of depressed people are impaired in their daily functioning (Pratt & Brody, 2008). Fifty percent of the loss of work productivity is due to absenteeism and short-term disability (R. C. Kessler, et al., 1999). In any 30 day period, depressed workers have 1.5 to 3.2 more short-term disability days (Druss, Schlesinger, & Allen, 2001).

People with symptoms of depression are 2.17 times more likely to take sick days (Adler, et al., 2006; Greener & Guest, 2007). And when they are at work their productivity is impaired–less ability to concentrate, lower efficiency, and less ability to organize work. In fact, absenteeism and work performance are directly related to how severe the depression is–the more severe the depression, the worse the outcome. In one study the costs of absenteeism were directly related to actually taking antidepressant medication (Birnbaum, et al., 2010; Dewa, Hoch, Lin, Paterson, & Goering, 2003). Those who took the prescribed medication had a 20 percent lower cost of absenteeism. Depressed people are seven times more likely to be unemployed (Lerner, et al., 2004).
In one of the largest studies of its nature (“The long-term effects of psychological problems during childhood”), children were followed for 40 years to determine the effects of illness and psychological problems on their life chances (Smith & Smith, 2010). Children or adults who suffer from depression have lower incomes, lower educational attainment and fewer days working each year. In fact, these psychological problems lead to seven fewer weeks of work per year, a loss of 20 percent in potential income, and a lifetime loss for each family who has a depressed family member of $300,000 (Smith & Smith, 2010).

People who suffer from depression end up with six-tenths of a year less schooling, an 11 percent decrease in the probability of getting married, and a loss (on average) of $10,400 per year in income by age 50 (Smith & Smith, 2010). In fact, there is a 35 percent decrease in lifetime income–due to depression. The cost for the total group– over one’s lifetime–is estimated at 2.1 trillion dollars (Smith & Smith, 2010). And this does not include the increased cost of medical care that all of us must assume. Depression is a lifelong vulnerability for millions of people. And it’s a national economic crisis.

The cost of depression (lost productivity and increased medical expenses) is $83 billion each year, which exceeds the costs of the war in Afghanistan (Greenberg, et al., 2003). And depression is not a “limited engagement” with a fixed endpoint. These costs reoccur each year, every year, for the foreseeable future. Depression is an ongoing war that we may only recently recognize is a difficult one–but a potentially winnable war.” (Robert L. Leahy, Ph.D., 2010)

“The economic cost of mental illnesses in Canada for the health care system was estimated to be at least $7.9 billion in 1998 – $4.7 billion in care, and $3.2 billion in disability and early death. An additional $6.3 billion was spent on uninsured mental health services and time off work for depression and distress that was not treated by the health care system. In 1999, 3.8% of all admissions in general hospitals (1.5 million hospital days) were due to anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia, major depression, personality disorders, eating disorders and suicidal behavior. Sources: The Report on Mental Illness in Canada, October 2002. EBIC 1998 (Health Canada 2002), Stephens et al., 2001.” (C.M.H.A., 2012)

Now, Look At How It Impacts Our Youth

“It is estimated that 10-20% of Canadian youth are affected by a mental illness or disorder – the single most disabling group of disorders worldwide. Today, approximately 5% of male youth and 12% of female youth, age 12 to 19, have experienced a major depressive episode. The total number of 12-19 year olds in Canada at risk for developing depression is a staggering 3.2 million. Once depression is recognized, help can make a difference for 80% of people who are affected, allowing them to get back to their regular activities. Mental illness is increasingly threatening the lives of our children; with Canada’s youth suicide rate the third highest in the industrialized world. Suicide is among the leading causes of death in 15-24 year old Canadians, second only to accidents; 4,000 people die prematurely each year by suicide. Surpassed only by injuries, mental disorders in youth are ranked as the second highest hospital care expenditure in Canada. In Canada, only 1 out of 5 children who need mental health services receives them.” (C.M.H.A., 2012)

Your Quick Introspection:

Take a moment and ask yourself how this problem is affecting you in the following areas and compare yourself to the national averages:

Your Finances:

Do you know what it’s costing you to be depressed?

Did you know that according to NAMI, the average person suffering from depression carries $7068.40 in credit card debt, 19% of people suffering from depression are in debt between $5,000.00 and $24,999.00? On average, these people attribute 30.4% of their debt to depression. 24% of these people have bills more than 60 days over due, 22% reported not being able to afford the necessities of life, 16% report the inability to stop shopping/spending money, 4% are in fear of foreclosure, 19% are in fear of not making their rent/ mortgage payment.

Your Friends and Family:

Do you know how this is affecting your friends and/or your friendships with others? Have you noticed any differences?

Do you know how this is affecting your relationship with your family? If you have children, do you know how this is affecting your children? Have you noticed any differences?

Did you know that according to NAMI, 34% of people suffering from depression have some kind of relationship problem, 9% of people get divorced, 9% result in separation, 6% result in a broken engagement, 25% result in the inability to begin or maintain a romantic relationship?

Did you know that 50% of people suffering from depression have realized that depression hindered their interaction with their children; that 34% have had problems helping their children with their homework, that 43% have had a hard time helping their children with extracurricular activities or sports, 33% have had a hard time cooking or cleaning for their children, 46% have had problems providing emotional support for their children?

Did you know that 43% of people reported a history of depression in their family, 29% reported a history of anxiety in their family, and 16% reported a history of manic depression or bipolar disorder? – Modern views would have you believe that this has to do with genetics but it’s not genetics; it’s environment related…

Your Freedom:

Do you know how this is affecting your freedom? What is it that you used to do that you might not anymore or just plain stopped doing?

Did you know that during the past seven days the average person suffering from depression has missed 9.1 hours of non-work activities (such as social activities, leisure activities, exercise, and sports)? In the last 30 days, their non-work activities were affected during 8.3 days (regular daily activities)

Your Faith:

This one might be a delicate subject for some people and I wouldn’t normally mention it but if you’re religious or spiritual, your faith may or may not have been slowly eroding. Let’s examine how this problem may have been affecting some of your beliefs?

Did you know that 6% report feeling terrible, 15% report feeling unhappy, 16% report feeling mostly dissatisfied? Overall 87% reported anticipating the worst, 91% reported feeling worthless or guilty for no reason, 86% reported consistent sadness, 87% reported irritability, 88% reported nervousness, 94% reported constant worrying, 90% reported feelings of isolation or being uninvolved with family and friends. – These are the feelings that start in your mind and work their way in to your body otherwise known as the mind body connection.

Your Health and Fitness:

How’s your health?

Did you know that 91% reported muscle aches, 90% reported tension, 86% reported restlessness, 81% reported phobias / avoidance of fears, 82% reported heart palpitations, 81% reported shortness of breath, 93% reported trouble sleeping, 86% reported an upset stomach, 69% reported changes in appetite, 74% reported crying, 95% reported low energy or fatigue, 90% reported unexplained pain, 93% reported frequent headaches, 90% reported lack of motivation?

Did you know that 9% reported their health to be poor and 29% reported their health to be fair, 42% reported their health to be good?

Your Fun Factor:

Do you still have fun or is fun out the window these days?

Did you know that 88% reported a loss of interest in their favorite activities, 90% reported a lack of motivation?

Your Work:

Do you know how depression has been affecting your work?

Did you know that during the past seven days the average person suffering from depression has missed 1.6 hours of work activities, in the last 30 days they’ve missed 1.3 days of work activities, in the last 30 days their work productivity has been affected for 6.3 days?

Did you know that 53% reported negative work experiences, 12% missed out on a possible promotion, 14% did not receive raises/bonuses/job opportunities that they should have, 30% used sick days because they couldn’t go in to work, 24% used personal/vacation days because they couldn’t go in to work, 18% quit their job, 11% were fired from their job, 7% were docked pay because of missing work, 26% lost their temper with their co-workers, 4% never work?

Your Education:

If you’re in school or were recently in school, has this affected your education?

Did you know that 48% of students suffering from depression have reported negative school experiences, 15% have dropped out of school, 3% had to be held back in school, 22% didn’t pursue another degree even though they had wanted to, 30% have admitted that their grades suffered, 19% delayed their own schooling, 90% reported trouble concentrating?

Why All The Questions?

These questions are specifically intended to get you to probe around in your mind and see how things used to be and how they are now and how they could be if the problem was gone. Sometimes it takes a bit of thought to identify the size of the gap between what life looks like or used to look like when it was good or great and what it looks like when it’s really bad as it relates to each individual case. For the most part when dealing with depression the gap is pretty darn big and pretty darn pain-full for people experiencing the symptoms and it only gets worse if you don’t address it.

Moving forward, this brings us to how we work to help people… but first a quick story…

There is an old story of a boilermaker who was hired to fix a huge steamship boiler system that was not working well. After listening to the engineer’s description of the problems and asking a few questions, he went to the boiler room. He looked at the maze of twisting pipes, listened to the thump of the boiler and the hiss of escaping steam for a few minutes, and felt some pipes with his hands. Then he hummed softly to himself, reached into his overalls and took out a small hammer, and tapped a bright red valve, once.

Immediately the entire system began working perfectly, and the boilermaker went home. When the steamship owner received a bill for $1,000 he complained that the boilermaker had only been in the engine room for fifteen minutes, and requested an itemized bill. This is what the boilermaker sent him:

For tapping with hammer: $0.50

For knowing where to tap: $999.50

What is really new in AV4TM’s program and methodology is that we have a system. We know exactly what to do, when to do it, and how to do it for attestable, verifiable, clean, clear and self-evident results.

That means you’ll know and feel the difference once you’ve completed the AV4TM program.

The Mind and the brain are similar to a computer in that they process information. Computers process information from various peripherals (mouse, keyboard, microphone, video camera…) People with the use of their

Mind/brain process information that is provided by the senses (sight, hearing, feeling, tasting, smelling…) When a computer is infected with a virus it’s behavior gets messed up. When a person has an unresolved conflict, their behavior changes and they immediately feel different (usually in a bad way, as listed above).

In that respect you can equate an unresolved conflict to a computer virus and therefore a Mind Virus. If you want to get rid of a computer virus, you can do it in several ways. If you’re a skilled computer programmer you can do it by hand, and if not, then you have to go out and buy an anti-virus program and install it on your computer or get a technician to do it. If you have an unresolved conflict; a Mind Virus, you need someone who can get rid of it for you and put things back the way they should be. It takes an Expert in the Mind.

The symptoms that are present in a person who is experiencing depression tell us that there is an unresolved conflict; a Mind Virus in the person’s mind. The Anti-Virus for The Mind is a program you can put to work and use to rid yourself of the things that are bothering you at a core level by identifying the root cause and fixing the actual problem, which inherently, directly affects the way you feel. There are no drugs or any weird stuff involved.

We help people with a variety of mental illness from depression through grief, PTSD, sexual trauma (rape), anxiety, paranoia, suicidal tendencies, and abuse/trauma cases…

We’ve done our best to reveal the real secrets of depression and to help you understand what’s really going on, if you or one of your loved ones has depression. If you have any more questions, just reach out to us at the following website link and we’ll get on a call together and help you find out what’s really happening in your particular case.

We’re here to help you get the results you want for yourself.
The Answer to The Missing Link And The Difference That Makes The Difference

One of the most effective programs and methodologies in the world that addresses the root cause, which creates the unresolved conflict, is the Anti-Virus For The Mind Program and Methodology (AV4TM). This is done by decoding and re-encoding the traumatic event(s) in a way that removes the unresolved conflict and therefore inherently removes the symptoms of depression. The nice thing about our method is that it’s “Content Free”. That means that we don’t need you to tell us what happened. We can help you without even having you talk about the traumatic event(s). We work with the structure of the problem, not the symptoms. We make sure that our clients get the best treatment possible, quickly and efficiently. Information is kept completely confidential.

We offer a FREE Consultation/Strategy Session, for pre- admissions in to our program. Please note: the AV4TM program is available by application only and availability is limited. On the following pages are the steps to get a FREE Consultation/Strategy Session.

A.V.4.T.M. Application Guidelines

Dear Reader,
We will not try to sell you on applying for this program. Instead, we will simply tell you who it is for …and who it’s NOT for.
This program IS for:
1. People who suffer from Depression and are currently experiencing symptoms of depression and want it fixed.

2. People who are taking anti-depressants and want a fighting chance of getting off the drugs.

3. People who know they have an unresolved conflict that was brought on by a traumatic event and want it fixed.

This program is NOT for:
1. People who are not depressed.

2. Doctors who want to obtain licensure for the AV4TM program and methodology. We have a separate program for that and it is by invitation only at this time.

Here’s How It Works:

First, you’ll need to click on the link below. Then you’ll be taken to an application where I ask you all sorts of invasive questions about yourself. OK – they’re not that invasive. I’m just really trying to weed out people who don’t really want help here, so that people who want help can get it, fast.

Anyway, the application will come to my office and one of two things will happen.

One, I’ll decide we’re not a good match and I’ll let you know politely. Or two, I’ll decide we MIGHT be a good match and someone from my office will schedule a call to see if we really are.

Nobody will pressure you or hassle you… If you want in, great… If not, no problem… We’re cool either way.

I’m only looking for around 20 people.

I’ll review applications on a first come, first-served basis.

The First Vicious Cycle: “The Depression Cycle” That is to say an endless loop or a recurring pattern. As long as you have this unresolved conflict and you don’t have the proper resources to solve the problem, your brain is going to be busy trying to solve the problem using whatever resources it can, even if they aren’t the right ones. And as long as that’s happening, you’re going to feel depressed and experience most of the symptoms of depression if not all and it can get worse because as long as your mind is trying to solve the problem, you’ll keep experiencing the symptoms.

Now if we flip it and if we look at it from the bottom to the top, from the root cause to the symptoms of depression, you can expect to identify with and/or to experience any of the following:
It starts like this…

Something bad happened (a traumatic event or a series of traumatic events) and has created an unresolved conflict inside your mind. You don’t have the proper resources to solve it or figure it out in a way that stops it from bothering you. This will cause symptoms of depression to remain until the problem is solved. Your mind will continue to try to solve the problem. Your mind will use the available resources and most likely will try to find additional resources to assist it in its job (and that’s probably why you’re here now).

As your mind continues trying to solve the problem, you will most likely experience the following symptoms.

You might find yourself losing weight or your weight may fluctuate abnormally. 
Your appetite may decrease. You may find yourself craving things.

You might have a hard time sleeping and if you wake up during the night, you might have a hard time falling back asleep.

You might find yourself waking up earlier than usual.

You might find yourself feeling tired during the day.

You might feel like you don’t have any energy.

You might find yourself having a low or reduced level of sexual interest or desire.

You might find that you have a hard time thinking, focusing or concentrating.

You might feel indecisive.

You might find yourself having unexplained reactions that link back to what your thinking or what you’ve experienced that’s bothering you – flashbacks.

You might find yourself feeling worthless or guilty.

You might feel sick or have aches and pains for no apparent reason.

You might feel depressed or cranky or irritable. You might not feel like doing things you used to enjoy.

You might not feel interested in most things.

You might have a hard time feeling pleasure.

You might be feeling distressed or impaired in important areas of life. You might be considering suicide.

You might even be planning suicide.

You might have even planned suicide already. You might have already tried suicide.

All of this is the result of an unresolved conflict in your mind, which underlies and leads to the symptoms of “Depression” and has been caused by a “Traumatic Event.”

Imagine what life was like with out this problem and how good things could be. Imagine what it could be without this problem, how much freedom you can have.

Imagine having someone you dearly love standing in front of you right now. Imagine seeing them going through all of the bad stuff listed in the sections above, now that you are becoming more aware of what’s really happening.

Now, as you look at that person that you really care for and want the best for, knowing what you know now, and seeing them going through all of these troubling thoughts and trying desperately to solve this problem without the right tools. As you realize that there’s no escape doing it the way they are doing it.

What would it take for you to take action and help that person? How fast would you get completely motivated, or more motivated than you’ve ever been before and decide to take action now and get help for that person?

Now imagine that person is you and you’ve been standing in front of a mirror all this time, seeing what’s really going on. Now as you step back in to yourself and turn around to go about your day having these new understandings inside your mind.

As you keep reading, ask yourself what’s your next step? What are you willing to invest in yourself to solve this problem? How quickly are you willing to invest in yourself to solve this problem? How committed are you to getting the outcome you want?


When it comes to Depression, Drugs Only Mask The Symptoms.

Consider the following excerpt from an article in Mental Health News by Sunny Wiseman entitled “Antidepressant Use May Not Prevent Depression Relapse”:

“A growing concern about relapse of depression symptoms has sparked recent controversy. Recently, a study analyzed statistics of depression relapse in patients who stopped taking antidepressant medications, and it was discovered that at least two-thirds of patients who will relapse would do so in the first six months of stopping medication for depression. The study was undertaken to determine the role that antidepressant medication plays in the depression relapse after remission of symptoms and ways to help prevent future episodes of depression.

The study, led by Brian Briscoe, M.D. of the University of Louisville, Kentucky, analyzed research from 16 studies on antidepressants and prevention of depression in order to ascertain an understanding of medication’s effect on depression relapse. It also aimed to address the growing controversy about the effectiveness of long-term use of antidepressants in preventing future bouts of depression. The studies used in this project focused on patients who were treated for at least three bouts of major depression and successfully attained remission of all symptoms for at least four weeks after the last episode. Patients were then assigned to take either an antidepressant medication or a placebo.

After eighteen months of antidepressant or placebo treatment, relapse rates were analyzed and it was determined that 10% to 30% of patients on the antidepressant medication relapsed, while 25% to 80% of patients taking the placebo relapsed.

Overall, patients on the placebo regimen worsened in terms of depression relapse, but the rate of relapse in those study participants taking an antidepressant was significantly high, as well, indicating that relapse is likely despite medicinal assistance.

Overall, the study determined that 67% to 85% of patients on the placebo relapsed within six months, with most of the relapse episodes occurring within the first month of stopping regular treatment with an antidepressant medication. Dr. Briscoe, summarizing the study’s findings stated, “If you don’t get depressed within the first six months after coming off the medication, you may not be at any higher risk of being depressed than any other patient.”

What this really means is that the people who relapsed still have the underlying unresolved conflict from the traumatic event. As long as the conflict continues to exist, they will continue to relapse. It’s an endless cycle.

The Second Vicious Cycle:
 “The Prescription Medication Cycle”

And this introduces The Second Vicious Cycle: “The Prescription Medication Cycle.” As long as the unresolved conflict exists, if you’re on drugs, you’re going to have to stay on the drugs because if you get off the drugs, you’re going to get depressed again over and over until the unresolved conflict is properly resolved. The Drug companies hope that you never resolve the conflict because it’s how they make money on a recurring basis with everyone.
Consider this: the average duration of the course in taking prescription meds according to NAMI is 5.5 years, which equates to and average of $113.80 monthly and adds up to $7,499.42 over 5.5 years in out of pocket expenses per person.

That was back in 2006, costs only rise with inflation.

Now consider what you could have if you didn’t have to spend that money on meds and you could have invested it. $113.63 invested monthly with 10% compound interest over 5.5 years would yield an additional $2,532.14 in revenue for a total investment value of $10,045.94 in your pocket rather than loosing $7,499.42 in prescription medication costs, and that doesn’t include whatever interest you’re paying out if you put that on a line of credit of any kind. (That’s a difference of $17,545.36.)

The Third Vicious Cycle:
 “The Ineffective Therapy Cycle”

During the course of the administration of the drugs, they recommend things like depression therapy. The problem with depression therapy i.e. talk therapy is that it rarely ever works because there is no reliable system or methodology to verify or guarantee the result; the desired result being the removal of the conflict. It’s a subjective experience. If the counselor is good and you are a willing participant who will work hard to deal with the trauma causing the depression, you might get good results. If the counselor is bad, well I’m sure you can figure out what happens in that case… when you use rotten eggs to make egg salad, you get rotten egg salad, no secret there…

Further to that most of the therapists will ask you to tell them what happened and to be honest with you, if you’re feeling guilty or yucky about the whole thing, you probably don’t want to talk about it. So long story short you have a situation where, you, the client doesn’t want to talk about the problem and you have a counselor trying to help by using an ineffective therapy model which requires you to talk about the problem. So you end up with the same problem you had before which is an unresolved conflict. You keep doing this once a week or so until finally, you may get tired of seeing the counselor and look for a better option.

The average duration of the course in talk therapy according to NAMI is 5.8 years, which equates to an average of $7,371.00 in out of pocket expenses per person.

Now consider what you could have if you didn’t have to spend that money on therapy and you could have invested it. $105.30 invested monthly with 10% compound interest over 5.8 years would yield an additional $2,747.95 in revenue for a total investment value of $10,224.25 in your pocket rather than loosing $7,371.00 in therapy, and that doesn’t include whatever interest you’re paying out if you put that on a line of credit of any kind. (That’s a difference of $17,595.25.)

Look at the statistics above and it’s pretty clear that one could extrapolate that most of the counselors out there using things like talk therapy aren’t really all that effective, if at all.

Moreover, if you do decide to talk about it, you end up reliving the experience that caused the problem in the first place which inherently has the ability and/or side effect of making things worse for some people. It’s like breaking an arm, then watching it heal a bit and then breaking it again, over and over and over… it sounds, looks and feels like a bad idea because it is a bad idea.

You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t with an ineffective therapy model. If you’ve been through it, you probably know what I’m talking about.

And that’s The Third Vicious Cycle: “Ineffective Therapy Cycle”, because both of those paths lead to the same or worse unresolved conflict and you have to relive the traumatic experience over and over, again and again, – with an ineffective treatment model, this can go on forever. And therapists love this because it brings them continuous streams of income, one for each client they have. Some of them don’t really want you to get better because it’s bad business for them.

The Fourth Vicious Cycle:
 “The Substance Abuse Cycle”

Alcohol and Drugs

You might even find yourself using alcohol and drugs to turn your brain off or calm your mind. The first part of the brain that shuts off when people drink is the conscious process; that is the part of your mind that reasons things out and of which you’re primarily aware. People do this because they can’t cope with the feelings that the unresolved conflict generates as a result of the traumatic event. It’s quite common, in fact according to NAMI 17% of people who have depression have consumed alcohol excessively. And that’s not all; there are add-on risks to drinking alcohol excessively.

And this introduces The Fourth Vicious Cycle: “The Substance Abuse Cycle”. Alcohol is a depressant in almost every case. What this means is that if you’re already feeling depressed and you drink alcohol, you’re likely to get even more depressed as you find your way going down the downward spiral of depression and this cycle can continue endlessly. If you’re not aware, that it is indeed a cycle, you might be well on your way to experiencing a very dangerous cycle of addiction.

People use alcohol and drugs in an effort to self medicate but these substances cause significantly more harm than good, and some substances which are highly addictive can carry additional risks. A lot of this is seen in depressed people prior to treatment… Here is some information from NMHA’s Campaign for America’s Mental Health:

“When people are depressed, they may experience other health or mental health problems. To relieve the misery of depression, some people turn to drugs or alcohol. Likewise, when people abuse alcohol and/or drugs, depression can develop. On the surface, it may seem like a good idea – to get high, to have fun, to relax, and to escape – but the consequences of alcohol and drug abuse soon become apparent in your life. Like depression, alcohol and drug abuse is serious. Fortunately, it is also treatable and the key to treatment is to recognize the symptoms and to get help. Take a look at this basic information about the connection between alcohol and/or drug abuse and depression.

The Basics

Alcohol abuse does lasting damage. One night of heavy drinking can impair your ability to think well for up to 30 days. Tens of thousands of today’s college students will eventually die of alcohol-related causes, such as accidents, cirrhosis of the liver, heart disease and other diseases. Women are also more likely to develop alcohol-related organ damage, developing liver disease sooner than men, and perhaps increasing the risk for breast cancer.

Behavioral changes and consequences of drug abuse may include changes in overall personality, depression, declining grades, loss of interest in family and friends, over-sensitivity, moodiness, nervousness, paranoia, secretive or suspicious behavior, and excessive talkativeness. Often people also experience difficulty in paying attention, and a general lack of motivation and energy, sometimes characterized by a “who cares” attitude.

Physical changes associated with drug abuse are often changes in eating habits, lack of physical coordination, puffy face, hyperactivity, tremors, excessive sweating, runny nose or hacking cough.
Alcohol abuse can compromise your personal safety. As many as 70% of college students admit to having engaged in sexual activity as a result of alcohol influence, and 90% of all campus rapes occur when alcohol has been used by either the victim or the assailant.

Alcohol lowers inhibitions, and can make people more vulnerable to troublesome situations. When women drink alcohol they are more easily impaired than men, because of the way their body absorbs the alcohol. People’s perceptions of potentially dangerous situations often change when alcohol or drugs are involved.“
Moving forward, alcohol and drugs cost a considerable amount of money. If you’re using them, you know what I mean. It’s a constant drain on your bank account that you could be investing somewhere else not to mention what they do to your health and fitness.

According to NAMI’s report on the cost of depression; 17 % of people dealing with depression have consumed alcohol excessively, 22% of people have taken up smoking or increased the amount of cigarette’s they smoke due to depression and 8% have used illegal drugs or have used drugs recreationally due to depression. According to NAMI’s report the average cumulative cost of these negative experiences is $8,065.80.

What does that really look like on a personal level? Here are a few scenarios…

If you drink a case of beer a week in Canada, that’s $39.50 for Miller Genuine Draft, multiply that by 52 weeks and you’re looking at $2,054.00 yearly. If you’re drinking two cases a week then it’s $4,108.00 yearly. If you’re going through three cases a week then it’s $6,162.00 a year. I’ve seen some clients go through two or three bottles of wine a night, let’s say the average bottle is worth $15.00, that’s $30.00 to $45.00 per night so it’s between $10,950.00 and $16,425.00 per year. A bottle of Vodka (26oz) is $25.95; say you have one of those every couple of days, that’s about $4,735.88 a year in alcohol costs. The costs add up fast… This should help to clarify the impact of using alcohol; I won’t even bother covering the cost of drugs… as outlined above there are significant “Add-On” costs involved in being depressed. And that’s not all…

It Gets Even Worse, Here’s The Real Shot In The Gut!

And it’s a sneaky one…

The Fifth Vicious Cycle: 
“The Victim of Abuse Cycle”

This isn’t just about getting rid of depression; this is about protecting yourself against other traumatic events that can happen as a result of being depressed. And that’s The Fifth Vicious Cycle: “The Victim of Abuse Cycle”. As long as you’re depressed, you’re an open target for predators and abusers. You’ll attract them like a magnet without even being aware of it. Are you attracting the wrong kind of people in to your life? Those type of people look for people with low self-esteem and to be perfectly honest, substance abuse issues just make it easier for them. As mentioned above, drugs and alcohol just lower your inhibitions. In other words you’re practically defenseless.

If they get to you, and you fall prey to them, you’ll have the makings of another traumatic event on your hands and then things just get a lot worse. They compound.

What this means effectively is that as long as you’re showing symptoms of depression, you’re broadcasting the following message to other people: “I’m a victim and I haven’t done anything about it. Therefore, it’s ok to victimize me!” – And they will. This phenomenon is similar to the law of attraction. It’s like having an antenna mounted on your head attracting more and more bad things to yourself and your loved ones (We’ll explain this shortly in the next section, This isn’t just costing you. It’s also costing your family if you have one). Until you fix the problem; you’re like a deer in headlights…

According to NAMI’s report on the cost of depression; 4 % of people dealing with depression have had encounters with the law due to depression, 6% of people have had fights due to depression.

For all of these reasons (vicious cycles), some people think that depression is impossible to conquer.

“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” – Albert Einstein

The simple truth is…

Depression is the result of an unresolved conflict inside your mind.

The unresolved conflict is the result of a traumatic event.

If you want to get rid of depression / traumatic memories quickly and easily, just fill out our form below and we’ll set up a call and help you get the results you want for your self:

Every problem has a structure and so does every solution. Depression has a structure… In fact, there is a reason why it’s called a disorder and not a disease…

‘They’ teach us that depression is the result of a chemical imbalance but there’s a high likelihood that it’s not and I’ll explain why shortly. It’s the difference between correlation and causation. Correlation between two variables does not necessarily imply that one causes the other.

They don’t want you to know that every thought is a chemical reaction and that reaction is a result of something you do – very fast, inside your mind, in effect what you think.

They don’t tell you that you can create any chemical environment in your brain at will, and also change any chemical environment at will. It’s a bit of a secret. If you’re a Mind Expert, that change is easy. It is so easy that if everyone knew it, many drugs you may have been poisoned with, would disappear – forever… and the drug companies would lose their shirts, alcohol wouldn’t sell like it does and neither would recreational drugs, I’ll explain why in a bit…

Depression is defined by the presence of some common symptoms. It presents itself as a problem based on a certain set of symptoms; what they don’t tell you is that the symptoms of depression are symptoms of another problem, a bigger problem that goes way deeper and we’re going to expose the secret; that is, we are going to expose the real cause of depression in this report.

Albert Einstein once said, “You cannot solve problems with the same level of consciousness that created them.” What that means is that when you create the problem you’re in a different mindset than the one you need to be in to solve the problem and we’ll explain why…

Note to the reader: There are areas of this report, which you may find repetitive. There are two reasons; 1) the root cause of all the symptoms of depression is the same. You’ll see the root cause surface and resurface in different areas of the report. 2) The intended audience of this report is people suffering from different symptoms of depression, but not necessarily all of the symptoms of depression. In that respect, if you find yourself having a hard time focusing or concentrating (which is one of the known symptoms of depression), this report is designed to be read in small chunks. It is designed to be an easy read for everyone. It explains and exposes what the real cause of depression is.

If you read carefully, you may discover new things you were not aware of before in your life and your current situation that you may find very helpful in leading your down a new much more beneficial path and finally in the direction of getting the outcome that you want by investing in yourself through our program, should you choose to.

Moving forward, we’re going to take this from the top down first and that means from the top that is depression, down through to its symptoms, and then right down to its root cause. We will do this for each of the symptoms in the set of symptoms known to lead to or be part of what is referred to as depression.

We’ll expose the root cause of each symptom one by one. And as you read this report you might find yourself beginning and continuing to realize that all of the symptoms of depression come from one root cause.
In order for someone to be depressed, there have to be certain symptoms present.

Are You Feeling Depressed?

You might find yourself feeling depressed. Do you know what it’s like when you feel low- depressed most of the time, almost every day? Do you feel unable to enjoy things you used to enjoy? Do you feel like you don’t want to connect with other people? Maybe even suffering unexplained physical pains and fatigue.

Have you had other people tell you, “You look sad, gloomy or depressed”?

Do you know what it’s like to hear other people tell you that you’re depressed? Do you know what it’s like to be on the edge of tears or burst into tears unexpectedly? Do you also know what it’s like to feel irritated by things that shouldn’t irritate you? Have you found yourself unmotivated or unable to complete tasks you used to find easy to complete?

Have you ever wondered why that might be happening?

Do you know how it feels to have been through something that’s left an unresolved conflict inside your mind?

In order to feel depressed you have to have been through something that you haven’t been able to resolve effectively. And since it’s still going on inside your mind, you’re still feeling it. It doesn’t really matter what’s going on around you because your mind is preoccupied in trying to solve the problem.

The reason you’re feeling the way you do is that the traumatic event you experienced has left you feeling a certain way. Sometimes it makes you feel worthless or guilty, and that’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved. Moreover you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it and not be bothered by it anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

Losing Interest in Things You Used to Enjoy?

You might feel like you have no interest in things you used to like. Do you know what it’s like to have no interest in things you used to like? Do you know what it’s like to feel that way almost all the time, almost every day? Have you ever wondered why that might be happening?

In order to lose interest in things you used to like, you have to have been through something that you haven’t been able to resolve. And since it’s still going on inside your mind you’re still feeling it. It doesn’t really matter what’s going on around you because your mind is preoccupied in trying to solve the problem.

And if this is happening, the reason you’re feeling the way you do is that the traumatic event you went through has left you feeling a certain way. For most people it makes them feel worthless or guilty.

And if this is how you feel, that’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.
The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

Losing Your Appetite / Changes in Your Weight?

You might find yourself loosing your appetite. Do you know what it’s like to loose your appetite? Do you know what it’s like to feel like you have to force yourself to eat? Do you know what it’s like to end up with different cravings?

Do you know what it’s like to loose or gain weight for no apparent reason?

According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness – NAMI’s report on the cost of depression: 44 % of people dealing with depression have gained significant weight due to depression, 12% of people have lost significant weight due to depression.

In order to loose or gain weight like this, you have to have been through something that you haven’t been able to resolve and some of the following things need to be happening:

Weight Loss

1. Your brain is using additional energy to try and resolve the conflict that was introduced by the traumatic experience you went through.
2. You feel like something is eating you up inside and that’s also the result of having an unresolved conflict that’s been introduced by a traumatic experience.
3. Your brain/mind needs fuel and it’s creating specific food cravings to fuel itself to do its job. Ever felt like you needed something sweet but you weren’t sure why? This is a very unconscious process that not many people understand. Your brain/mind uses about 20% of your energy to run on idle. Can you imagine how much energy it requires to solve a problem that it doesn’t have the proper resources to solve? – Can you say over-drive?

Weight Gain

If you’re gaining weight then it’s probably because when you feel yucky, you end up eating emotionally, What that means is that you get a temporary high when you eat and that after your full you probably feel like crap cause you might have over eaten which usually leads to one of two things, eating more once you’ve digested what you ate or working out like crazy to get rid of the weight you could be putting on and then the cycle repeats back in to eating when you feel yucky.

If you’re taking meds, depending on the ones you’re taking; some meds have the side effect of making people gain weight and keep gaining as a result of the use of meds. According to Robert Whitaker in Anatomy of an Epidemic, people who are diagnosed with Bi-Polar are often prescribed an atypical antipsychotic, such as Zyprexa (Olanzapine), and those drugs regularly cause people to put on the pounds.

Either Way:

And if this is happening, it’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.
Having a Hard Time Sleeping or 
Having a Hard Time Staying Awake?

You might be finding it hard to fall asleep. Do you know what it’s like to have a hard time falling asleep and/or waking up in the middle of the night thinking about what it is that you’re thinking about because it hasn’t been resolved yet? Do you know what it’s like when you can’t get back to sleep because you have that unresolved conflict going on in your mind all the time? Do you know what it’s like to have night terrors and flashbacks?

Do you know what it’s like to feel tired all the time and feel like you have no energy? The reason you’re feeling that way is because you can’t get a good night’s sleep or the sleep you are getting is not quality sleep. Your brain/mind is using various resources (physical, emotional and chemical etc.), effectively robbing you of energy that you would normally have for other activities.

And if this is happening, it’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.
Lack of Energy or Feeling Tired All The Time?

You might find yourself feeling tired all the time. Do you know what it’s like to feel tired all the time and feel like you have no energy? The reason you’re feeling that way is because you can’t get a good night’s sleep or you can’t get quality sleep.

If that’s how you feel, it’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.
Involuntary Movements/Reflexes or Reactions?

You might find yourself having nervous ticks or involuntary movements. Do you know what it’s like to be re-living something that happened in the past over and over again, inside your mind? Do you know what it’s like to be stuck in that memory? Do you know what it’s like to have reactions that you can barely control because of that memory? Do you know what it’s like to feel restless? Do you know what it’s like to feel like you’re not running at 100%. Do you know what it’s like to get lost in your thoughts? Do you know what it’s like for people to ask you what’s wrong and ask you why you’re different than you used to be? Do you know what it’s like for people to ask you what’s bugging you?

Do you know what it’s like to have a hard time thinking and concentrating? It is almost as if you had mind fog or you’re feeling unclear in your thoughts? Do you know what it’s like to feel indecisive, fearful and/or hesitant?
And that’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

Having a Hard Time Thinking and/or Concentrating?

You might find yourself having a hard time thinking or concentrating. Do you know what it’s like to have a hard time thinking and concentrating? Do you know what it’s like to feel indecisive and have a hard time making decisions? Do you feel like you can’t focus?

If you’re feeling that way, it’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event. Did you know that your brain uses 20% of your energy while it’s idle? Can you imagine how much energy it uses when it’s trying to resolve a conflict? Can you imagine how much extra energy it needs when it doesn’t have the right tools? It’s like trying to bike up a steep hill or a mountain on a tricycle. It doesn’t work. You need a mountain bike for that. You need the right resource.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

Feeling Worthless and/or Guilty?

You might find yourself feeling worthless and/or guilty. Do you know what it’s like to feel worthless or guilty almost all the time? Do you know what it’s like to feel sick for no reason?

Do you know what it’s like to have an unresolved conflict bouncing around in your head making you feel that way?

If you’re feeling this way it’s because your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding, perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.
Have You Ever Considered Suicide?

You might even find yourself having thoughts of dying. You might even be having ideas about how to commit suicide. You might have even planned it out. You might have even tried it.

If you’re feeling this way, the reason you might be feeling this way is because the resolution to this unresolved conflict seems impossible and / or hopeless. Maybe you know that you can’t solve the problem yourself and you feel hopeless. Your brain/mind is desperately searching for an exit strategy.

Your mind is still busy trying to resolve the mental conflict that was introduced by the traumatic event. And since it hasn’t resolved it yet, one of the options it may have come up with is just to end things.

The traumatic event that you went through has not been resolved yet and you don’t have the proper resources to resolve it in a way that doesn’t bother you anymore. Resources can include knowledge, coping skills, education and proper understanding perception and encoding of the traumatic event… the list goes on.

If the unresolved conflict didn’t exist, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

If the traumatic experience(s) hadn’t happened, you wouldn’t feel the way you do.

And this leads us to the real problem…

Click the link below to listen to the interview:

http://influencersradio.com/etienne-gravel-anti-virus-for-the-mind/

Jack talks with Etienne Gravel about his Anti-Virus for the Mind system which specializes in helping people deal with depression by focusing on the unresolved conflict, he calls a ” mind virus,”.

Similar to a computer virus,  the person has issues that revolve around whatever caused that problem in the first place. Without the proper tools, people can’t fix the feelings surrounding the root cause of their problem. The symptoms, experienced on a daily basis, are what people call depression.

Etienne explains that every memory has an emotional counterpart to it, or a “charge”. So a negative memory would have a negative charge associated with it. People encode information in the same way: eyes, ears, feelings, touch, sound, etc. and it’s possible to reprogram, distort or change the charge and the feelings associated with negative memories and experiences in the mind.

May 21st, 2014 / ACCESSWIRE / “Anti-Virus For The Mind” creator, Etienne Gravel, was the featured guest on Influencers Radio show with Jack Mize, discussing the techniques he uses to help people get rid of depression.

During the interview, Gravel explains how his software programming, computer and systems analysis background helped him to recognize that an “Unresolved Conflict” that he calls a “Mind Virus” is often times the root cause of depression. His “Anti-Virus for the Mind” program works to change, distort, or even erase these “Unresolved Conflicts”, such as problem memories of negative experiences that can be the foundation of what people refer to as depression.

Gravel discusses how when a person has a “Mind Virus,” such as trauma from a past relationship and a similar event occurs in a new relationship, that mind virus can surface and cause conflict in the new relationship.

Without the proper tools, people can’t fix the “Mind Virus” and/or feelings and emotions surrounding the root cause of their current symptoms. The symptoms, experienced on a daily basis, are what people call depression. Once the root cause is gone, which is the actual problem, the symptoms tend to disappear completely.

“Every memory has an emotional counterpart to it, or an energy charge. So a negative memory would have a negative charge associated with it. People encode information in the same way: eyes, ears, feelings, touch, sound, etc.” – Through the five senses. Gravel explains how a person using Anti-Virus For The Mind can decode and reprogram, distort or change the charge and the feelings associated with negative memories and experiences in the mind so that the “unresolved conflict” gets properly resolved and can no longer adversely affect the person.

The person can then get on with their life and have success in the area where they were challenged before allowing them freedom from the “Personal Hell” that they were dealing with as a result of the “Mind Virus”. These “Mind Viruses” can adversely affect all areas of a persons life such as their family, their relationships, their friends, their children, their finances, their fitness and health, their ability to concentrate and get things done, their ability to sleep well, their freedom from the past etc.

There are many add-on costs and previously unknown “Vicious Cycles” related to having depression that Gravel exposes in his Special Report http://report.antivirusforthemind.com/

Gravel says, “The true beauty of the program is that if you’ve been through any traumatic experiences, you don’t need to disclose what you’ve been through because many people don’t want to relive things that bother them”.

The Anti-Virus For The Mind program is designed to empower people and help people get their personal freedom back from whatever negative experience or trauma they went through.
