Psychotropic drugs, just like all the previous... Why this very real logical pattern is so hard for society to accept is beyond my imagination.
because there would be so many more deaths without them.
I would expect to read about a history of traumatic brain injury as well.
“Psychotropic drugs, just like all the previous... Why this very real logical pattern is so hard for society to accept is beyond my imagination.”
They don’t want to accept it because to do would be to admit that psychotherapy and the general practice of Psychiatry in America is a failure; that the drug regimens that were touted as a way to deinstitutionalize the mentally ill have been shown to be a sham! Psychiatry is a system that has great labels for various mental conditions but has no real cures for them.
It’s not that many of the drugs don’t work(they can), it’s just that even the makers of them state that strong psychotherapeutic support must be offered and the patients monitored closely. Too often the meds get prescribed and then the patients told “you are on your own to find group support” especially in states where there is precious little after acute hospital treatment mental health support. What little there are, are often very expensive and very exclusive in terms of their clientele.
