You've hit the nail on the head linkadge.
Of course people are content, perhaps even
grateful not to be in a state where they
may harm themselves or others. But the side
effects so often destroy the quality of life,
volition, ambition, appetite, ability to feel
emotions and yet remain balanced.We need better drugs and if we stop complaining
about that, those who are not victims of
mental illness, will be quite satisfied to
continue prescribing without trying to
improve psychopharmacology.Psychopharmacology is very important -
the drugs stop depression after all and
schizophrenia. The rest is fluffery.
Though, of course compassion and care
in a social context is necessary for any
human being in a state of suffering.Squiggles
