I live in Indonesia.The two psychiatrists who treated my daughter only knew one way: just stop taking the drug cold turkey. And then as the result, she suffered terrible withdrawal symptoms. The doctors then said to her: you're still sick, obviously you still need the drugs, take them again.
We don't have withdrawal symptoms or withdrawal psychosis in Germany, either. Best of all, we bail people in psychiatric hospitals who have behaved aggressively in public, and because of help is better than putting them in jail, we completely overdrug them and after 6 weeks (that's how long the insurance pays) we throw them out. They run into withdrawal psychosis, get no appointment in time, have no information, have no clue what's happening to them and then some of them kill people while in withdrawal psychosis. Then we have depressed people because their loved ones got killed and we hook those up on medication. Cruel business concept.
In most of those amok cases over here, psychiatric drugs play a role.
And psychiatry here is also on the state of "they are not addictive".
Best wishes for you and your daughter, it'll get better. Check for vitamin deficiencies, they play a huge role in mental health problems.
That's a typical reply from psychiatrists: blame the illness not the pill
@@justinebourke9449 Sadly, SPOT-ON U R!!!!!! Even worse; when they r well aware of the negative effects of psych meds but blatantly downplay the impact these meds cause/contribute. The manner in how psych meds work (especially on the brain let alone the whole body), I'm so much better off drinking BEER!!!!!
Rather, invent an illness to blame to ignore the real problems.
No it's not profitable to get people off them, that's why pharmaceutical companies develop them to be all but impossible to get off.
They know what they are doing. It's about the $. They don't care about you.
YOU ARE ENTIRELY RIGHT.
@incognito595 i know i am. My dr put me on benzos 8 years ago. Said i wqs depressed and im like......well o dont feel like it. Anyhow was on klonopin for 6 years started having crazy sides. Sent to a therapists. She said its normal. 3 drs later and he got me off this shit and said its all a scam esp if u arent depressed. The drugs made me depressed. Life is way better now. Fk these fkrs.
Happy to get us on these agonizing medications. Surely doctors are WELL AWARE by now . It just doesn't cut it for me anymore to think they don't know . There TURNING A BLIND EYE. Sickening
Estelle D.; COMPLETELY AGREED!!!!! We r usually told if u r experiencing any negative effects from psych meds, let the Dr know. When doing so, it's either denial or downplaying by the Dr.
They know. They pretend they dont.
Exactly! How are the people who prescribe the drugs the *last* ones to hear about all the harm the drugs cause?
I told a rheumatologist that I had gone off Cymbalta (and had a difficult withdrawal) after reading about how many people had long term harm caused by Cymbalta. I mentioned the class action lawsuits against Eli Lilly for not providing warnings about Cymbalta side effects and withdrawal syndrome. I mentioned the websites and support groups for people trying to come off Cymbalta, like "Cymbalta Hurts Worse."
The rheumatologist said she'd never heard of the lawsuits or websites I was referring to. She said she had many patients on Cymbalta and that they all did well on it.
It's beyond aggravating. They're either ignorant or liars; either way, it's malpractice.
You don't mention antidepressants/ antipsychotics...; hell to get off
As a pediatrician/teen coach I see this so much! Is it ADHD? Sleep deprivation? (Matt walker brilliantly describes this correlation) or social stressor?? Or all three!? No one talks about this in medical school. We just just drug reps in the office that tell us what to prescribe. Sad.
Sadly; it's so much easier 2 medic8 than communic8 . Just "chemically pacify" those whom speak out against those whom dismiss & disregard the REAL Issues that TRIGGERED mental health issues (which r ENVIRONMENTAL IMBALANCES; NOT CHEMICAL IMBALANCES). Primarily; it's a result of being abused, bullied, & harassed by other people (though not the sole factor involved here).
@@billybandyk0720 You write truth. Keep doing so.
@@kimlec3592 Thanks 4 the support. Likewise w/u RE: telling the truth.
I propose that there is no such thing as ADHD.
We call ADHD anything that checks off boxes on a list of behaviors. Where those behaviors come from, why they exist, etc., are completely overlooked. We say ADHD is biological/genetic in nature as a way of feeling more comfortable ignoring the many, many things that might be responsible for the behaviors referred to by the label, such as our own totally unreasonable expectations of people, especially children, so that we can throw drugs at the imaginary problem for the purpose of forcing children to adhere to such wholly unreasonable expectations of them. It is an arbitrary label, nothing more. There is no thing called ADHD with causal efficacy.
this is spot on. its kinda late tho.....
Better L8 THAN NVR!!!!!
I love the title. The doctors in my country in Indonesia won't admit it, I guess, but I had a hunch that it's true. I just wish I had known the safest way is to taper 5-10% a month because I had tapered Risperidone too fast for my daughter.
What better reason to stay away from these mindless quacks .
Doctors tell you not to take drugs but will prescribe them without a problem.
Safe prescribing is an oxymoron when it comes to psychiatric medication.
Not really. You can safely prescribe a benzo for one day, or three days, for example.
@@MedicatingNormal Yes, thanks for clarifying. I was referring to the meds that require weeks to achieve a therapeutic level and then possible long term damage is already done, including withdrawal symptoms and increased likelihood of a future depressive event. Thanks for your informative videos.
It's all about profits
Hi I have been on Paxil 40 mg since october 2022. I have never had any problems. I had some side effects that were nothing compared to how I felt normally. I am very thankful that they exist. I think I will keep using them.
the consequences will surface sooner or later for you
Maybe we need to stop listening to psychiatrists.
lawsuits later down the road is whats going to kill these drug companies
So, if you are not an addict, but phys. dependent on small amount of psych drugs, what do you do if you cannot get off and very ill? Stay on or does that go bad, too? Then what?
I’m in the same boat. I was prescribed a benzo for sleep issues. The reason for the “sleep issue” was job stress & drinking coffee in the afternoon! I’ve been trying to taper off 2 prescribed benzos for 5 years!!!! And. Yes! I was prescribed 2 benzos!!! The first one for sleep, then after 5 years I started having constant anxiety attacks in the middle of the day. The psychiatrist said it was “breakthrough anxiety”!!! It was TOLERANCE WITHDRAWAL!!
I wish Dr Huberman would have you on his podcast and the two of you could maybe also tell those of us who are suffering with debilitating withdrawal how to go through benzo withdrawal so we could still function and not feel like we’re dying!!!
Please stop falling for the opioid epidemic stuff, it's not true. Illicit drugs are the problem. Some people have iatrogenic injuries and legit need pain relief. People are committing suicide because of their pain and lack of help.
Why is her medical practice only rated 2 stars?
Good question 🙋♀️
Maybe bc the "powers-that-b" don't like being called out 4 their blatant cover-ups & she's rightfully exposing them.
ONE Question, WHY??
THEY NEED MONEY. WE KNOW. THEY DON'T CARE. REPORT THEM TO THE STATE MEDICAL BOARD. AND THE DEA.
No duh. 💙
THEY KNOW. THEY HAVE HAD 65 YEARS TO GET IT. THEY WELL KNOW.
Addiction come on , stop saying addiction please we took as prescribed, I can tell you how to get patients off ,very low and slow and for God’s sake listen to them when saying you taper them to fast ,how about you try getting to the route cause of healing
Yvonne G.; Yes; I took the psych meds as prescribed. However; due 2 high doses that my numerous psychiatrists prescribed psych meds 2 me, it essentially became like an addiction bc the majority of them would say that I have an "illness" that there's NO CURE 4 & there4; REQUIRES "TREATMENT" (the euphemism 4 medication). I was always taught 2 respect those in positions of authority but in doing so, the REAL ISSUES that TRIGGERED my CONDITION (NOT "ILLNESS") were nvr properly addressed nor resolved. There4, a DEPENDENCE (IF NOT ADDICTION) 2 THESE POISONOUS PSYCH MEDS WAS ESTABLISHED!!!!!
