'I'm not trying to say anything, I KNOW people.'
And I KNOW people who have been made worse by SSRIs.
'What are you going on? Your experience? I'm sure you've met others with not so great or down right terrible experiences,'
What are you going on? Your experience?
Yes I use my experience as evidence of the harm of psych meds. I also use the experience of other people I know. The ancedotal stories I read on the internet. The peer reviewed studies I read.
The books I read.'You do realize, mood stabilizers can prevent severe episodes in bipolar,'
You do realize that SSRI's can create 'bipolar' like symptoms that need to be treated with a mood stabilizer?
'they can do just fine for decades without any health issues whatsoever.'
If they are lucky. Tell that to my friend who has had her liver destroyed by Lithium.
How about some hepatic failure or pancretis from Depokate?How is your cognitive functioning?
'So yes, I believe medications are prescribed too much and too soon in many cases. But, I like what Scott said, he makes good points as to why medications are used and when it is appropriate to use them.'
I agree with everything you say here. But you can't put that down as a minor problem.
It is a MASSIVE problem. Poly drugging people in the name of Corporate GREED who could otherwise recover naturally is sickening.
Setting them on a lifelong course of disability because of the side effects of their medications.
Disgusting.
Some people may need meds as you claim. But what is to say that their condition is not being made worse in the long term by messing with the balance of their brain?
