“The article defined “infants” being given these drugs are under 12 months of age. Who in their right mind would spank them?”
Never had a kid, I guess.
If they’d ban pharmaceutical ads on TV I could get through any show I watch in 10 minutes.
They promote a drug for everything and I’ve never seen so many made up three letter diseases.
I think some people may well have something wrong that affects their mood/thinking/well-being but don’t need psychotropic drugs. Doctors get a lot of their treatment info from drug sales reps. Most don’t spend a lot of time trying figure out why a patient may not be sick/depressed, etc. They are conditioned to just write a prescription. Many people may in fact have solvable mental health issues if, as the author mentioned, they changed their diet, exercised, got other likely undiagnosed medical problems addressed, learned better coping skills. I could go on, but the real need gor these drugs was created, just as the need for the Covid vaxx that doesn’t work was created. Money.
May be—not: may not be
No infant needs spanking.
Your answer is both.
You’d have to be on drugs to believe this story.
What you describe is indeed very common. My own mother, 20 years ago, her thyroid tanked. The doctor just put her on Prozac. After a few weeks, she went back to him demanding that he figure out the real problem. Eventually he did, but he didn’t even apologize for being so dismissive at first. He was just like, “Oh, it’s your thyroid.” He seemed irritated at having to do his job.
When people are indoctrinated with the thoughts that reality is a construct, morals and ethics are subjective and religious faith is but a primitive, antiquated, superstition-based belief system, people need some steadfast anchor for their lives, and the pharmaceutical and psychiatric industries are more than happy to fill the void people create for themselves.
Okay, fair enough. How would you know? One does *not* spank tiny babies. Not even back in the old days when spanking toddlers was considered normal.
Dr. Spock was still big when I was a toddler. My mother said the first time she spanked me it was with his book lol. It was a paperback, though — whew!
It’s crazy and sick to give babies psychotropic drugs. I can’t fathom it. I guess Prozac is the modern day Paregoric?
Why would you ever spank an infant? They cry sometimes you just don’t know the reason.
She might have had Borderline Personality Disorder, which means she had serious trouble with emotional regulation.
The rest are playing with fire and most will end up burned. They take Lexapro without any psychological treatment. The Lexapro alters the mind. If they are not careful, and many people are not careful, they alter their mind into irrationality or their spouse does it to them or they are both taking the pills.
I've seen the good, bad and ugly and the good is pretty rare. The end result is mind that is less and less able to tolerate stress, the stress eventually destroys the physical body which adds to the stress in a vicous cycle.
Of course they are happier, it's a drug that masks fear and anxiety. But what happens next? Either they confront and treat the fear and anxiety using the pill to help, or they don't. Most don't. They are on it for life, and it won't be a long life.
I see hundreds of pharmaceutical ads a day. Big pharma is evil. It wants to treat with meds ailments it invents. It wants to make hypochondriacs of us all. Stay off of all the meds you can. Eat clean. Exercise. Drink water.
If you drive the highways and interstates of America, you’d think the rate is higher.
Libertarians, please chime in about why removing enforceable societal norms is NOT making people crazy.
Question 2) How many babies in, say, Chad or Azerbaijan are on Prozac?
The autism explosion in this country is a direct result of the over-prescribing of antidepressants in women.
You're on to the right answer. Our families are much smaller, and people don't have enough experience with infants anymore. Maybe no experience at all. They think they have to do something chemical to stop the crying.
Possibly people don't know how to love babies anymore. They've never seen it in action. In past generations, we all knew how to soothe a crying baby because we saw so many of them in our daily life. Even a few decades ago I remember my young relatives being amazed that I just picked up a crying baby out of his stroller and gave him some love and attention to stop the crying.
The correct terminology is psycotrophic drugs.
Just as a matter of fact, what is the one thing every school shooter has in common?
The use of psycotrophic drugs.
