I'm curious to know your thoughts on these topics. Have you or someone you know faced challenges in the mental health care system? What do you think about the role of medication in recovery? Please share your experiences, opinions, and any questions you might have in the comments below.
After 30+ different psych meds (starting w/Ritalin @ age 4 in 1971) ovr a 40+ yr period b4 becoming psych med-free (on my own w/o any support, mind u) on 1/1/2017, psych meds really fucked up my life (I'm 55; my DOB: 7/20/1967). All bc my parents (whom were an "only child" from their respective families whereas I have an older sister) believed in the FBS gvn 2 them by the mental health & school systems back them (I.e.: the "chemical Imbalance" philosophy & I needed psych meds 4 my lifetime).
My son has been on psych drugs for many years. Hes presently on clozapine. He still has resperatory diskenesia. I think about him every single day. I pray one day he can get proper help to recover his health
so glad i came across your page, very informative & I like how real you, Im with you & Janet. I feel the same way about the system here in nz, we rely far too heavily on meds & "your bad or broken" type narrative, rather than exploring "what happened to you?" I dont think the impact of C.H attachment & trauma is given enough consideration in being the root cause of alot of peoples suffering with mental health issues & behaviours. Ive worked in acute inpt for the last 7 years, but as a RN for the last three. earlier on I found it deflating at times as a mature "baby nurse" going against the culture of the enviroment of " weve always done it this way", which would make me doubt my practice, however I continue to practice with compassion & empathy in a trauma-informed way because I know it works, Ive seen it many times. we are slowly seeing a shift in "old skool" nursing practice to a more trauma informed and considered way, which is fantastic. I would love to see your take on trauma informed care.
Thank you for taking the time to try research and explain my situation 🙏..
I've recently started working at a psych hospital and I've found your videos extremely helpful and informative. I also appreciate how you seem to advocate for the patients and show compassion.
I was in a mental health facility for a few years, I had no family to lean on until recently. There is alot of pain and abuse that occurs by staff who take out anger on you because they know that they can. I know that their jobs are hard, but I cannot understand the amount nurses/mental health workers that go in the field without the caring or skill set that it requires to help patients. Few are like you who give space for other approaches and keep an open mind for what works for each individual. Rather than one size fits all approach. Not too mention we don't really know if the medication can make things worse and cause more anxiety instead of less, because that cannot be measured in something so ambiguous as the mind.
On that note,
I will say that "paradoxel effect'
You described is exactly what happened to me. I was put on ability to calm my anxiety but instead the opposite happened I became very paranoid and pleaded to be helped and started feeling violent for absolutely no reason, and this had never happened before. Luckily I was put in hospital and strong enough to keep these strange feelings inside and not act on them. Although i was really vlose to being retraumatized and possibly being pinned down.
Unfortunately for others they are not so lucky.
I'm glad you know about kelly brogan and her unorthodox views towards mental health. I wonder if you've heard of
The soteria house/project?
It's another method that is a more humane in dealing with people who suffer. Your channel helps me so much and parallels my experiences in the system. Thank you alot.
Thanks for your comment, and yeah I've heard about the soteria house and from the small amount I know I like the idea :)
I love your outlook man, very knowledgeable and caring.
This is great! Thank you so much for a very in depth and thorough response. I enjoy your videos and tell my classmates about your channel. Im excited to watch your channel grow and you reach more people, helping to break the stigma around psychiatric patients/clients and mental health. Keep being yourself! We’re rooting for you!!
Thank you👍
I would love if you’d make a video about all of the language and terms used by psych nurses, explaining what they mean. I appreciate your content thanks!
good video with lots of answers to some lingering burning topics/questions. Janet's comment is very passionate and well intended. IMHO some medications do help save lives and people. Some suffer more and side effects become too much. It is a greyarea part for the healthcare industry to grapple with.
i know of an incident where a tv crew visited a psych patient to secretly film them and put them on tv (without the patients consent), by taking advantage of the patients impairment and refusing to explain what's going on (violating the rights to be fully informed). Years later when clear consciousness has been restored the discharged patient complains about this crime alot now
I have a question for you......Do psychiatrist realise the damage these drugs do or is their ego and pay check so big they refuse to acknowledge it? There are forums with thousands of people who have life changing side effects.
i think there's a lot to go into here, but shortly, yes they realize the damage and for many they think benefit > damage.
Could you please send me the comment by Janet Nash or share which video it is commented on? I really want to read it. Btw thank you for the videos man. I am going into a PHMHNP program and these videos give me some fantastic insight.
Why is it difficult to find psychiatrists helping people taper off or withdraw from medications safely? I have two experiences with three different psychiatric medications from a psychiatrist in private practice and psychiatrist in a mental health hospital. In both cases, I was told I should stay on the medications for life and avoid trying to discontinue or stop them.
James and his friend are truly in a world known only to them. Here you see them pass a cigarette to each other, only there is no cigarette. James friend later smokes it and actually flicks the ashes, again there was nothing in his hand. James Styles his hair with an imaginary comb. He beckons to friends in the room that only he can see. There is fear in the eyes of both boys and major anxiety. Motor coordination skills are almost completely gone.

Can stimulants cause hallucinations or seizures. I was on straterra for 17and a half years then on four or five years on vyvanse after the straterra made me have myloclonic jerks and hallucinations after many years of things hard times and the being sexually assulted at 20. I am autistic with add and depression and anxiety and now cptsd as well because all the other horrible stuff , Melanie
i'd say they probably can, especially if your sleep is disrupted
I have been watching RUclips videos at 2x speed for 6months so it really wasn’t that long of a video it was actually kinda short
i love the 2x too! how i watch every talking head video lol. Do you have this chrome extension? chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/video-speed-controller/nffaoalbilbmmfgbnbgppjihopabppdk. you can speed vid up by pressing d, and slow by pressing 's.' :) :) :)
I have a little off topic question and need to ask a psych nurse, unfortunately you are the only one I know ( not know know, but you get it) . I have always wanted to be a psych nurse and got exepted to a job in a few week as one. Here is my dilemma this place is inpatient with 16 beds. I got hired on for night shift and found out I will be the only nurse at night, but will have two techs. I am a new grad. Should I turn it down because I know nothing about psychology or really even being a real nurse. I am scared something will go down and will not know what to do. Orientation is 2 weeks long. Sorry to ask on here but I know you will give me a right answer. Thank you and love your videos
I'd say taking the position would be a little ballsy, but you could do it and succeed. My guess is you'll experience decent acuity there, so something to be aware of :). Night shift will generally be calmer, and I think as long as your techs are experienced you should be good. I'd also ask how available the on-call/supervisors are, esp. since you're new and may have questions. Are involuntary medications used at this facility and what does security look like there?
Thank you so much for answering me. You are truly appreciated
Can you have a family member transfered to a different facility
Their transfer probably depends on if they are voluntary or not, and what insurance they have, and bed availability, amongst a number of things. :)
What country are you in?
states :)
How many staff are actually mentally ill
Thank you for your kind words Nick. I can't recal which one of your great videos I made that comment on. Would you remind me please? Also, have you heard of Will Hall and his "harm reduction guide"? I believe you can find it free online if anyone is seeking guidance that Dr's don't provide when wanting to wean from psych drugs as safely and pain free as possible. And hey! what do you think about RFK jr running for POTUS? Please dont say "he's antivax!" before listening to what he actually has to say about the corruption of regulatory agencies and their cronies in this country. Here is somethinjg my friend just posted...snippets of interviews and speeches from RFK jr. He is for real science being used in drug trials, not just marketing scams. And he wants it to be illegal to have drug advertisements on the TV or in any type of media. He is anti war and pro environment and pro farmer:
"I've been an environmental attorney and advocate for 40 years and saw the impact of agency capture. That's why I could recognize it so easily when I saw it in the pharmaceutical industry. All these agencies are captured. The pharmaceutical industry owns the National Institutes of Health, CDC, and FDA. The coal, oil and pesticide industries own the Environmental Protection Agency.
EPA corruption: I was on the trial team in the Monsanto case, which ended up with a $13 billion settlement. We were able to find secret EPA papers showing that the head of the EPA pesticide division for a decade was a man secretly working for Monsanto. So, Monsanto was directing his movements. In one of the emails we found, Monsanto instructed him to kill a study by another agency, the Agency for Toxic Substance Control, ATSDR. It's a smaller agency that focuses on toxins, separate from EPA. He'd always been able to control the EPA studies and fix them. But now, here's another agency that Monsanto has no control over that's going to do an independent study on the carcinogenicity of Roundup and glyphosate. They were desperate to kill that study, and he said, 'I'm going to kill that study for you, but you need to give me a gold medal when I do that.' So, this was his correspondence with his true boss, Monsanto. And this, unfortunately, is true in all the federal agencies."
CIA, Pentagon, Ukraine war: "There's now a perfect merger of state and corporate power in this country," Kennedy says, "and the system is rigged against the middle class and the poor. And among the captured agencies are the CIA and the Pentagon, which have been captured by military contractors, and they don't care how much the Ukraine war costs us. Nobody cares because they're killing Ukrainians, not American kids. So, it's the perfect war for them. ....
Those are the generals you see on CNN every night, gravely saying we need to defend the people of Ukraine. But they're working for General Dynamic, stuffing their pockets with the money we're sending there. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be helping the Ukrainian people or that Vladimir Putin isn't a thug and a gangster, but we need to understand that we have intelligence agencies and military agencies whose job it is to destroy American democracy from within. And those agencies' job is to provide a constant pipeline of new wars that will feed the military-industrial complex which owns them.
Look, we gave $112 billion to Ukraine already. The entire budget of the CDC is $ 12 billion. The entire budget of the EPA, I think, is around $11 billion. And we have a crisis in this country. We have a child health crisis - 64% of our children have chronic diseases and we don't know what's causing them.
We have kids going to dilapidated schools. Our infrastructure is falling apart. The middle class in this country has been hollowed out and destroyed, and we need to start paying attention to these problems here at home and solving them."
DOT & Big RR Companies: I like Pete [Buttigieg], but he's not a guy who looks at that agency and says, 'I know it's a captured agency, and I'm going to weed out the corrupt people. I'm going to make the trains run on time, I'm going to make sure they have two engineers, and I'm going to make sure they're using electronically controlled brakes and not the brakes they used in the civil war - which is what was on this train.
Why is that? Because [the DOT is] a captured agency. The electronic brakes would've cost $3 billion to put on their entire fleet. That is two weeks of revenue for that company, but they would rather spend the money on lobbyists, make sure they didn't have to do that, and then they took the cash and did a stock buyback.
So, they all are getting rich, and the people in East Palestine are now drinking poisoned water, their cats and cows are dying, and their children are now exposed to dioxin. A single molecule of dioxin can cause cancer. It is the most toxic molecule we know of in the universe that's not radioactive. It's horrendously toxic and now spread over the landscape."
COVID vaccine fraud: "In May 2020, I published a podcast that said the vaccines are going to be DOA, they're dead on arrival, because the monkey studies just came out and they don't prevent transmission," Kennedy says. "This was before the rollout. I was like, 'We were looking at their own monkey studies, and the concentrations of COVID-19 viruses or SARS-CoV-2 viral loading in the nasopharynxes of the macaque monkeys that they had vaccinated was identical to the loading in the unvaccinated monkeys once they were exposed to the disease.'
So, they knew at that time that this vaccine could not prevent transmission. Everybody knew that. And yet they were saying aloud, 'It can prevent transmission.' They had no right, no reason, to say that other than to fool the public.
Kennedy believes he can make a difference: "You can't go into an agency with 30,000 or 60,000 employees and fix it overnight unless you know exactly where the problem is," Kennedy says. "So, they appoint a guy who's usually from the industry to run that agency, and that guy doesn't know how to fix it either. So, he relies on the department heads and the branch heads within that agency, and they're all corrupt and have been there 50 years, like Fauci. I can fix this problem like nobody else can because I know how these agencies work.
I know the individuals in these agencies who need to be moved to Nome, Alaska, and those who have been doing favors, who are in the tank with the industry. I know the databases we need to open and make public so that independent scientists can do their jobs.
I know how to stop the corruption in the universities by telling the universities you're not getting money anymore to do these phony pharmaceutical or oil industry studies.
I know how to send my attorney general after the journals like the Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine and sue them for racketeering, saying,' You are not telling the truth. You're claiming to tell the truth to people about medicine, but you guys admit it's not true. It's pharmaceutical industry propaganda.'
All these agencies have the same structure, and I've spent 40 years suing them. I've spent 20 years suing the United States Department of Agriculture for doing favors for Smithfield Foods, Tyson Foods, Bo Pilgrim, Cargill, and Monsanto. It's a captive agency.
I should do this; it will allow me to talk to the American people. If people want to hear the truth, I'll win. If they want business as usual, then I won't. And I know how to change things better than any politician who has run in the last 20 years.
A lot of the changes that I could make are changes that I wouldn't need Congress: how to restructure the agencies, including the intelligence agencies so that they begin to work for the American people and for actual national security rather than what they've been doing."
Thanks for the food for thought Janet. Last time I was into politics many years ago I was a big fan of what I heard him say. I also have two kids who are completely unvaccinated 🫣🙊
Is meth similar to adderall? I have heard it is.
Read Carl Hart “Drug Use for Grownups” and YES…its a mirrored molecule-so if Addarall were legal, The damage we see from methamphetamine made by amateurs with God knows what would become a thing of the past. Hopefully.
yes
Interesting
@@kathleengivant-taylor2277 they are both stimulants. adderal is amphetamine. they have a lot of similarities but different drug
@@countonme9893 Ritalin is also an amphetamine.
I'm confused, because who decides who is terminally ill? In addition, I think there are other medications available to calm down patients. Haloperidol in that case is just gross. Furthermore, people weren't allowed to visit their relatives during the pandemic.
I think it's not the right channel to adress those issues. But I personally think that the discussions about the usage of those drugs, also in other areas (nursing homes, general hospitals, children in foster care) should be dragged into the public. See, I've talked to a lot of people who's parents died an early death because they were drugged up in other health care fields. (Mainly ataxia and disorientation that lead to falls, also deteriation caused by those drugs - elderly people looked different decades ago, now we just see mentally and physically impaired people, sedated in wheel chairs, and it's become normalized.). My grandparents were also drugged for no reason in general hospital (they recovered later at home), those drugs are not used only for palliative care. And it's despicable to use those neurotoxic, highly damaging drugs also in general care.
As a matter of fact, everybody in society is affected by the malpractice. Also, that most homicides/suicides/mass shootings are executed under the influence or withdrawal of those drugs.
I personally think it's the biggest scandal in history, the pigestry with those "medication". And it affects everbody by now and the use of those has made it in the standard of care. This isn't care at all, that's high level abuse and the medical field normalizes it. Reminds me what happened in the third reich, when they normalized the annihilation of certain populations... and we saw where it lead to. Same tactics all over the place. People blindly following orders that are now the standard of care...
agree 100%!
