I function much better because of psychotropics. Here's the deal, psychotropics aren't meant to cure the illness, they are meant to make it more manageable. I'm going to have symptoms whether or not I take medicine or not. The intensity and duration of these symptoms goes down if you are taking medicine. And I am here to tell you, that is the truth. I am talking about psychotropics.
Well, I can't check that, but ok.But I have no clue of what you are talking about, symptoms and all.Not that you have to, I understand that too.
But anyway, the question then becomes at what costs? Braindamage? are you aware of the side effects?
When people are well informed about their drugs (most are not and that is the problem), and they still want to take the drugs or medicine or whatever.Be my guest.
My problem is is that people are ill-informed about these drugs, hence a rational decision can't be made.
And about 'managable'. well I have seen patiens on a psychiatric ward and were indeed 'managable', Basically because they were in a chemical straightjacket.
Hell, I have seen even a friend of mine on these drugs, he couldn't walk, talk etc. But yes, he was 'managable' indeed,
I think there are other ways,, but , as I have explained before, take love, time and patience and more,
What I find questionable is that you supposively worked in this field, but you call these medicines psychiatric medicines when they are referred to as psychotropics in the field.
Well, that is just semantics and I find this a bit childish. But ok, it can be explained because english is not my natiove language. so some things might
get 'lost in translation', ok?
These medicines work because of scientific study and using the scientific method.
Problem here is that moest 'scientific studies" are paid for by the companies that produce that poison! See the problem here?
These "'scientific studies" are full of lies, omissions , bias and what have you.
Besides, they don't work, unless you mean damaging the nervous system.
The most studied SSRI, Prozac, scientists literally know the whole progression of the drug in the brain. The increase of serotonin in the brain actually increases the receptor sites of the neurons for serotonin. People don't know this, but what makes psychotropics effective has more to do with what they do to the receptor sites, which is indirectly affected by the concentration of neurotransmitters in the brain.
I know the story, but there is more to it. Please watch this video:
My doctor has told me repeatedly that he has seen medicine work. And I can tell you, it works! It doesn't cure the illness, none of them claim to. They make the illness more manageable. The only cure that I can think of of mental illness is gene therapy, but that is probably never going to happen because of ethical reasons.
Of course the doctor tells you this. Who do you think paid his 'education'? I am not talking abouit his intent. He is a victim
of the system too. And even if it is true he did see 'medicine work', that doens't mean a thing at all.
oh btw gene therapy will come. the companies don't care about ethics at all. That is important to understand.
However I will say this....
I think "alternative medicine" is much more sane, and is more effective than big pharma. I firmly believe with the herbs and plants in this world, we could create medicines to help treat a vast amount of disorders, including mental. But people blindly stick to the establishment, and think man made substances are the way to go with regards to treating mental illness.
Very good, I agree with you here totally. But I will add that there are more alternative therapies that I have seen working as
being very effective. Here are some: EFT, TAT,, BSFF. reflexology, QE and there are some more.
Totally safe , very fast most of the time and no side effects.
Even diabetes can be cured with proper food!
Of course they don't give proper foods in hospitals, That might make some people better,
But because there is a group that wants to us being ill-healted, there is Codex Alimentarius, look it up!
