“The introduction of thorazine, the first psychotropic drug, was a milestone in treatment therapy, making it possible to calm unruly behavior, anxiety, agitation, and confusion without using physical restraints. It offered peace for patients and safety for staff.”

“Under new mental health laws in the 1950s, the Fulton hospital initiated a modified system of outpatient care. In the 1960s, the hospital established community clinics in Mexico, Hannibal, Rolla, Lebanon, and Eldon. By 1970, a typical treatment for mental illness included a brief stay at the hospital for stabilization. Upon release, the patient received in-home visits from trained staff who assisted with medication schedules.”

I’ve worked with mentally handicapped people for decades. When in college I worked at a group home. One of the clients became agitated and violent. He was a very smart and clever downs syndrome fella. So he got a stick and began smashing a wall with it. I could have easily taken the stick away and calmed him down.
The ladies at the place called the cops. I was not happy but I was a college kid and they were “professionals”. The cops came and looked at me like I was a pussy. They cuffed the poor guy and next thing he was on lithium. May as well have lobotomized the guy.
He developed Tardive dyskinesia and looked like he had Bells Palsy.
Anyway. Drugs suck. Since the 80s, these azzholes have decided that anybody who acts out needs some friggen experimental mind numbing drug. After the lobotomy craze was deemed cruel. Kennedys.
Thank God I didn’t get a dose of that crap. A nun smacking me was quite enough. Give it to the mentally handicpped. Fvck around and find out. Fauci’s ilk and legacy.
