This is true. The part about liver being awesome for you -- our bodies are meant to consume whole-animals -- not just skinless, bloodless lumps of hypertrophied chicken breast...For some great reading on this tip, check out Go Wild. I thought it was great.

If you want to get off SSRI's, which is a great goal, you need to work on the things that might be causing your depression. I would start with physical health and then move to social and psychological things. I can't recommend Go wild enough, its an excellent primer on general health principles, and its written by a psychiatrist. Oh and also look into the Wim Hof method, those breathing exercises have been incredible for me. Just please don't listen to this guy, he seems to have some ideological motivation to just deny the possibility that people might be unhappy and psychiatry might be helping.

edit: just to add, there are many good reasons for why we can't measure neurotransmitters yet, none of which mean diagnoses are invalid and treatments unhelpful. While I wish the health system would go to the root of major problems (I'm writing a paper on the topic at this very moment), antidepressants (and other psychiatric medications) help a lot of people. They do have downsides of course, and getting off them, once you take care of your life, is a good idea in my opinion.
