I haven't watched the video but the term psychotropic drugs is to broad. You would really have to look at each drug individually and discuss it. The AAP's and older AP's are probably the worst but for some people they could not live without them. The AAP's are what I would worry about the most. If i had serious psychosis, paranoia, delusions, and hallucinations, I would take them without a doubt.

I haven't taken everything on the market but I have been taking psychotropic drugs for twenty years, mostly antidepressants but others as well. I have never had any serious adverse effects. Millions of people have taken them for decades.

Any drug will have very serious adverse effects in some very low percentage of people. Some will even kill people at a very low percentage yet the rest of the population takes it fine. Vaccinations will kill a certain number of babies each year but I chose to have my daughter get all the vaccinations.

It is a risk vs. benefit equation and should be an educated one. I would rely on places like Harvard, John Hopkins, NIMH, Stanford, etc., for my information. You also have to look at what the evidence says about what percentage or people are effected this way or that way. You won't find a lot on the dangers of antidepressants on sites like Mayo or John Hopkins because they are safe. You will find a lot for on AAP's.

Again it needs to be a well informed individual decision based on your case looking at risk vs benefits. And get your information from reliable sources and not fear mongering doctors like Breggin.
