Folks, this country has a serious depression problem. According to the world health organization, nearly 20 of americans report an extended period of depression in their lifetime. While the other 80 insist that everything is okay. Shut up, daddys drinking. laughter applause , and, sure, there are treatments like prozac, paxil, and zoloft, but you cannot inject them into your face. Botox is the most popular cosmetic enhancement procedure in the country. A new Study Suggests botox could also be useful for a treatment option for depression. The thinking is frowning sends negative emotional signals to the brain so inhibiting the ability to frown would inhibit the negative emotions. Stephen folks, when i learned that botox can cure depression, you should have seen the expression on my face. Or any expression on the face of someone with botox. Cheering you up by killing your face works because there is a circuit between the brain and the muscles of facial expression, in which the brain monitors the emotional valence of the space faceand responds by generating the appropriate feeling. Well, of course, your face tells your brain how it feel. Your facebrain is much smarter than your skullbrain and you know thats true because my face just said it. This procedure is not only effective, folks. It is far less invasive than the previous cosmetic treatment for depression Reconstructive Surgery to turn that frown upside down. That guy looks happy. Folks, theres only one downside to this miraculous cure for depression botox can also make you feel depressed because you cannot smile properly. Which then could make you very sad, but fortunately, you can also no longer frown. But Prescott Pharmaceuticals knows that your emotional problems go well beyond just happiness and depression. Thats why prescott is proud to introduce vacsameh. Because why paralyze your face from showing emotions when you can paralyze the emotions themselves . Every syringe contains the same toxin as botox, but with an eightinch need theyll allows you to inject it directly into your brain. When you feel a tingling, that means its working. When you dont feel anything at all, that means it works. laughter side effects of vacsameh include search and seizures. Male pattern wald win, and hipster dysplasia, and vacsameh is 100 guaranteed to work, and when it doesnt, theres another solution in mental health. Because there is yet another cure for depression. Battling longterm depression, Oxford University researchers treated 38 people with the drug ketamine for more than three weeks. 30 saw their depressive symptoms lessen. Eight people reported feeling free of depression. Ketamine is also used as a horse tranquilizer cheers and applause . Stephen it makes sense. Folks applause it does make sense that you treat depression with a horse tranquilizer because every time i see a horse i say, why the long face . applause laughter hes on a suicide watch. laughter little men in silk pajamas get on his back and make him jump over sticking while whipping him. Its sad. And this veterinary drug isnt just used to animals, folks. Its also used on party animals. Ketamine is a general anesthetic often used by veterinarians. When tape in high doses at the club scene, users say they feel detached and almost hallucinate. Ketamine is also used at the drug scene as a party drug. We have some foot annual of the clinical trials. That that that was the control group. laughter now, according to the study, ketamine triggers the release of the neurotransmitter glutamate in the brain, which stimulates the growth of synapses that have been damaged by stress. Put in laymans terms, Oxford University researchers have determined that drugs make you feel good so you should take them, which is why prescott has repurposed its own liquid antidepression party medicatio medication vac daniels. cheers and applause . applause vacdaniels comes in this patented mahdi bottle, and is guaranteed to temporarily relieve depression, reduce social anxiety, and make you funny, brave, and sex, plus it makes other people seem more attractive. laughter simply administer vacdaniels using the customized bioindex.

Nation, if youre a longtime viewer of this show, you know that bill oreilly and i have a mutual appreciation society. I admire bill, and so does he. laughter and papa bear has been on a hot streak lately. Last week i praised him for taking on the far lefts obsession with equality. That was just the beginning of bills unified theory of why everything is going to hell. The grievance industry basically says america is not a fair nation, that the deck is stacked against minority, women, the poor, gays, atheists, muslims you name it. And the bad griez white males. The republican party. And anybody who doesnt buy into the grievance industry. Stephen now, you may not have heard of the grievance industry, but they are huge. laughter theyre the ones who manufacture the nations complaint boxes, those peeing calvins, and yahoo comments. So just when did the grievance Industrial Complex begin . Back in the late 1960s, the vietnam war caused a Huge Division in america. Millions of young people decided their tricountrywas wrong for fighting the war in southeast asia, so they launched massive demonstrations all across the u. S. A. , and built up a culture built on antiauthority that is, the man who had power was dad. To go along with the political strife, the Youth Culture embraced sex, drugs, and rock n roll, change the country from traditional attitudes to if it feels good, do it. Stephen yeah, man, lets defy authority and not go to vietnam. Because it feels good not to die in a rice paddy. Far out, daddyio, keep on trucking. Sock it to me. Get a job. Cut your hair you see, bill and i know it was crucial to fight that war. Can you imagine what would have happened to america if we hadnt gone to war in vietnam . That means no forrest gump, and, therefore, no bubba gump shrimp shack mac and cheese, and im sorry, but thats not an america i want to live in. laughter folks this culture of grievance lives on today. I mean, if youre looking for grievance, look no further than bills latest. Recently, colbert mocked me on the subject of inequality. Only about 1 Million People watch his latenight program at 11 30 but he is the darling of the far left internet when rhapsodizes over him. Stephen bills right booing . Stephen i know,in. Folks im not happy about it but for some reason the far left internet loves me. Im in all the hash tags. Folks, if i thought Stephen Stephen steveeb Stephen Stephen stephen you know you people are the blood in my veins, right . Folks, if i thought if i thought for even one second something i said hurt papa bears feelings, i, too, am hurt, and to be honest, a little turned on. laughter not that bill would believe me. Ah, but mr. Colbert is a deceiver. I strongly believe in fighting for equality, and also believe institutional bias should be against the law. What i oppose is government trying to impose equality because every human being is different. Stephen bill, youve got me all wrong. I agree with every single word youre saying, even those words dont agree with each other. laughter you see, i also believe institutional bias should be against the law, and at the same time, believe that governments shouldnt do anything about it. That leaves, ah maybe a voluntary make ai law, take ai law tray, or roaming gangs of vigilante cannibal equality bikers. Or we could give add rile a hat and badge and let him wander the land telling pinheads toioc it off, bing, bing, bing. Bing, bing, bing. Bing, bing, bing. Bing, bing, bing. Bing, bing, bing.
