Thanks, Dont worry about the wording, pretty easy to misunderstand someones meaning on an internet forum.
lol at putting zyprexa in the hole to stop the oil. I think you might be on to something there :)
I am not 100% anti psychiatry, I appreciate the effort that they are making to solve problems which ruin lives. I just feel they are a little bit trigger happy putting people
on psychiatric medications not fully knowing what they are doing when they are obviously very seriously effecting peoples lives. And also the fact that they are lying to people
when putting them on these medications.When serious adverse affects are reported they rubbish us and deny it is even happening. They took a good ten years to finally admit that there was a SSRI withdrawal syndrome.
"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident" ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Its a nice quote but obviously something needs to be the truth to get to the third stage.
I am from a family of 5 children. We are very close and I discuss my mental health with them.My 2 brothers suffered from similar anxiety and depression to me in there youth. I went down the path of getting medicated for it because I wanted a better quality of life. They both went on an AD for
a short period of time but discontinued them, im not sure why.My brothers grew out of their awkward teens, and grew into very successful confident content adults. They are still prone to anxiety and small bouts of depression which seems to be a biological factor but it could
be a an environmental thing as we grew up with the same experiences.I went down the path of being medicated. While they improved out of sight, I went steadily downwards on a bell like curve. I had a relationship breakup 2 years ago. My mind simply seemed unable to deal with it and I was put
on several more drugs.And now if you met myself and my brothers you would see the difference in where we are at in our lives.
I can tell you that there is a very marked difference in- Cognative ability
- emotional stability
- empathy
- Social skills
- Physical health
- appearance ( I look 5 years older than my older brother who is 4 years older than me)
So maybe I lucked out and I got the faulty wiring from my parents or maybe it is a direct example of the effect that psychiatric medication has on someones life.Where would I have been if I never took that pill?
Sadly, with us having only one brain, It's impossible to know the answer to that.
This is why I can relate to Robert Whitikers theories, because me and my brothers are a living case study for him.
