There should really be some annual "Clinicians (Pre-)Psychosis Awareness Day", both dealing with those with "unipolar depression" becoming psychotic due to antidepressants, those with "ADHD" getting (more) manic on stimulants and quite many of those with "ASD" being some of those with undiagnosed psychotic disorders.
It is just plain dangerous: those think they are getting "help" or expect it being just plainly mistreated and no-one insisting on some system-wide intervention, mostly because of things like pride and being unchallenged and authoritarian. Psychiatry is sickening. The meds is just what scientists came up with. They add (almost) nothing but confusion and neglect. Anyone with me on this?

Hello Icare dixit: Thanks for sharing your perspective. The Skeezyks has been on pysch med's in the past... not any more... About all they ever seemed to do was to make me groggy. Oh... & they loosened my lips so that I was willing to talk about closely guarded secrets I would never have divulged had I been in my right mind. I'll be eternally ungrateful for that...

For me (and others), nicotine works as good as antipsychotics, it is just more expensive and you reach a max dose more quickly. It would also be quite impossible to reach the right therapeutic dose with what's easily available: cigarettes, gum or patches (combining one of the first two with patches might work but is rather risky). Supplements work probably better but you can't also repair a broken brain via normal, rate-limiting metabolism.
The mood stabiliser I really "need" to prevent depression, but if I could buy it at a street corner I would probably opt for that. But I am not at all thankful for the meds they prescribe: it's just a racket. Most if not all probably make more money than your average drug dealer. Most doctors are not the most empathetic people you could meet. So they might make you worse just by talking. Maybe not surprising that ASD diagnoses have skyrocketed since the first cases were described: you can only see what you know of.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
