I personally think Morphine and similar drugs are under used in psychiatry, to the point where their potential theraputic advantages remain relatively unknown. I find this sort of stigma nothing less than barbaric. If somebody was in chronic "physical" pain nobody would question them taking a drug like morphine. Most people don't seem to realize that brain disorders such as ocd, major depression, bipolar, ect, are every bit as physical, and shouldn't be confused with the various psychological and behavioral conditions that they sometimes superficially mimic. If somebody is in unbearible physical pain they should be treated for it; regardless of where on their body it's coming from.
