    Psychiatrists and people who work in mental health will not listen to this, they refuse to believe the truth and want to continue the way they are. It's terrible , too many lives are destroyed by psychiatry.

      100% My poor late veteran partner said the System had held him prisoner for 20 years. I realize the docs and social workers were well meaning but he had become addicted to the psych meds and there were adverse reactions in the extreme; terrible side effects.

      Yep. For 5 years I thought I was dumb. It turns out it was the antipsychotic. I'm almost weaned off of it completely. Next appointment I'll be on 0mg of Zyprexa. I'm still on 20mg of Lexapro. It's criminal how people are given these neurotoxins based on fear, false hope, and greed. I finally don't feel dumb and slow. My brain is functioning so much better. I just want to be off both of these poisons now.

    Dr Whittaker is right on that it is time to change the paradigm. More Soteria Houses and CBT for psychosis therapists are needed as the mainstream medical model is obsolete, inhumane and a failure.

      I got through few psychotic episodes and psychiatrists have only sad prognosis for me and gave me dg paranoid schizophrenia, but I fight it as hard as I can, work on myself, did all kinds of therapy and lately could reduce meds almost to zero.. And I strong believe that full recovery is possible.. yet I still have issues with post-psychotic depressions, abulia and anhedonia... I would love to get in touch with people who got through it and are healed and fully recovered, I'm sure there's plenty of them!

      @@vasekhromada8714 sorry you are enduring that. My late veteran partner was in the same boat... he was impatient with me when I suggested natural approaches ... I did not express myself very well but I felt that, as the body is an incredible machine I would look at physical approaches for instance a good doc he had said that his (quote) craziness was diabetic so my take on that is that there could be a physical element. It may not be the cause of psychological distress but a super healthy diet (cutting down on sugary foods for example ) certainly cannot hurt. For sure he was better once his new doctor took him off all six psych meds and gave him just one at a low dose. Great improvement; no more hallucinations for instance.

    Neuroleptics actually cause people to become more unstable. The dose becomes increased until the patient is basically sedated and they see this as the ‘appropriate treatment’. They may as well induce them into a coma and the psychiatrists will tick their box of fixing the problem when they have only diminished the symptoms visible on the surface. The poor people stuck in the mental health system for decades are so neurologically damaged from the chemical restraint abuse that they look like something is wrong them and are trapped in a catch 22. The entire paradigm needs to go back to the drawing board and not just give up on these people. One day they will look back on what was done in shame and disgust.

    Could it be that antipsychotics are prescribed more to the poor and that in countries such as Nigeria, the people are too poor to receive long term meds?
    My nurse used to say my antipsychotic injection was expensive.
    I can at least be happy that the fact that people are poorer as a rule, in those countries, actually have a better outcome.
    Or maybe those countries just are more humane in their treatment of those on the high end of the psychosis spectrum.

      If there is no $$$ to get, pharma is not interrested and docors either.
      They do not care about people, only economical profits. But that will change. The WHO wants a global power strategy to gain power and control to make $$$ out of people, together with pharma and industrials.
