Psychiatry and the pharmaceutical industry are part of the same inhumane hyper-Capitalist system that are causing people to work unceasingly and suffer unsupported through grief and major life changes. I have zero faith that pharmaceuticals or psychiatry are truly helping anyone. They destroyed every area of my life by giving me meds causing akathisia and erroneously calling it mania and anxiety for 20 years. I can handle the financial ruin and rebuild my health and self esteem, but I will never stop missing my children this Mother’s Day or ever. Thank you for all you do, Dan. You are kinder to psychiatry than I will ever be.
Exactly. They would never have jnvented poisons that actually make you sick while claiming to cure you if it wasn't for the capitalist ideology and its industrial medical sector. Iven Illich wrote this once: "A professional and physician-based health-care system that has grown beyond critical bounds is sickening for three reasons: it must produce clinical damage that outweighs its potential benefits; it cannot but enhance even as it obscures the political conditions that render society unhealthy; and it tends to mystify and to expropriate the power of the individual to heal himself and to shape his environment. Contemporary health care systems have outgrown these tolerable bounds. The medical and paramedical monopoly over hygienic methodology and technology is a glaring example of the political misuse of scientific achievement to strengthen industrial rather than personal growth."
This quote sums it up perfectly. This is the how and why of our current mental health crisis in the world and yet we are still looking to medicine to fix what damage they have mostly deepened.
I was misdiagnosed by a psychiatrist who spent a whole 8 minutes with me. Started me on Zyprexa in addition to other meds. I spent the next 3 years in a cascade of different meds and doses. So many different types of meds at the same time. I was essentially a low IQ zombie... lost connection to everything and everyone. I am in process of tapering off all these meds. I developed Tardive Dyskinesia and suffer a large amount of side effects. This whole process has ruined me! It is really hard to go on.
I have a friend who was so excited to get an appointment with a psychiatrist for issues with depression. After about 15 minutes he got out his script pad for meds. When she inquired about talking through her issues he said, “I am a medical doctor and I write prescriptions. If you want counseling, book some sessions with our psychologists.”
This ties into the history of psychiatry where it was looked upon as a pseudoscience in the old days when you laid on the couch and they kept a pocket watch for hypnosis. To maintain credibility in the medical world they replaced Freud with chemical imbalances, diagnosis and drugs. There is no going back, and they will hang onto drugs for as long as psychiatry exists.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the term mental illness. I prefer mental distress since it's never been proven that a discrete illness is actually what's happening. Rather, it's a reaction to trauma, nutritional deficiencies, environmental/social factors, a symptom of another illness, etc. As for psychiatry, I'm generally opposed to it except as a short-term treatment in cases of acute symptoms and even then it may not be the best solution. It should be approached with caution and there needs to be a plan to taper off drugs as soon as possible. But if someone wants to use psych drugs long term, that's their choice. However, they should at least go into it with thorough informed consent.
Just because a person passes a class doesn't mean they have what it takes to be in that position. What they learned from a book does not make them human...
Exactly precisely all of this. I’ve been misdiagnosed and over medicated so many times, starting at prepubescent times, it shouldn’t be any wonder why my CNS is bojangled. I never cared for how quick the professionals slap labels, zero eye contact in under five minutes and they start throwing darts at a PDR. All I maybe ever needed could’ve been therapy, but shopping for rapport adds up. Dental pain sucks! I hope it doesn’t linger too long, happy thoughts!
Have you looked into toxic encephalitis? All the symptoms of encephalitis are the exact same as benzo withdrawal. An toxic encephalitis is caused by man-made chemical substances. Such as opiods, ssris an anti convulsions like benzos. I beleive the reason people aee suffering so much coming off ssris an benzos is because they can cause toxic encephalitis. It would explain all the symptoms. It is brain inflamation. I encourage you too look into this. If we could finally get diagnosed we could get the help. We need.
You’re allowed to be ani anything that literally causes an inhumane suffering that takes away every cell of the human experience. In my case for soooooo many years. I can ever count the cost… fuck yeah I’m anti psychiatry!! 😘
Have you ever looked into toxic encephalitis? It all has all the exact symptoms as benzo withdrawal. Toxic encephalitis is caused by man-made substances such as opiods ssris an anticonvulsant like benzos. It may be something you want to look into. Encephalitis is brain inflamation. Toxic encephalitis is caused by phyc drugs. But you have to look really deep into research ti find this. That's why Noone knows about this.
Hi Dan, I watch so many of your videos and think out of all the people that make these kind of content you seem to be the best! I was never on Benzos but I was on oxycodone percocets 10mg 4 times a day for 3 years. I had a very bad leg injury and needed several surgery's. I went cold Turkey 15 months ago and I am still dealing with a lot of symptoms. It is getting a lot better recently thank God for that! My question is have you ever spoken to anyone that had or still has an injury caused by opiates? Thankyou Dan.❤
I was 19 I saw a paxil commercial told my OBGYN I struggled with social anxiety he put me on paxil while I was pregnant 24 years on every antidepressants on the market benzodiazepines biggest regret now I suffer from PSSD I have kids and a husband I’m ruined for life, my son died I didn’t even cry at his funeral it’s started when my doctor put me on gabapentin 2 years ago may those doctors rest in hell thinking there God!!!
I'm always confused I do not see people with these problems where they disappear ... I see so many people outside the psychiatrist's office but where are those people Or are we the only unlucky people who had such a horrendous curse of withdrawal
well said Dan just a pill is not a solution and we need to look at broader picture when ever I got to doctor its overprescribing only and there is no help in non medication way and over prescription always.
I encourage you to take look into toxic encephalitis. Toxic encephalitis has all the exact symptoms as benzo damage. Toxic encephalitis is caused by ssris anticonlvasnta like benzos. An opiods. I beleive that people coming off phyc drugs qctually have Toxic encephalitis. If people could get diagnosed properly after being damaged by a phyc drug it would help alot.
Ive seen multiple accounts of long fasts healing withdrawals. Any thoughts on that? One woman healed completely from effexor withdrawal after a 7 day and a 14 day
Thats interesting. I encourage you too look into toxic encephalitis. Drugs like bensos ssris an opiods can cause toxic encephalitis. I do beleive that it is not withdrawal, but toxic encephalitis , haa all the same symptoms. It is brain inflamattion brought on by toxic man made substances such as toxic encephalitis.
I had a tooth extracted five days ago and i feel very ill I have dp dr bad and really frightening thoughts and my teeth feel like jelly I just tapered the day before. I feel traumatised over the whole dentist procedure
Hey Katrina. I encourage you too look into toxic encephalitis . That may be what is causing your symptoms. It's is brain inflamattion brought by toxic man-made substances causes by ssris anticolvusants such as benzos an opiods. Godbless you.
Toxic encephalitis symptoms include, derealization, anxiety, sensitivity to light an sound, mental confusion, stiff neck an tension, tinnitus, body jerks, depersonilazation. Does any of that sound familiar to you? Phyc meds can cause this.
@@katrinamenzies9398 pharmaceuticals in general usually have the same side effects, it’s basically our bodies/brain in toxicity. Our bodies will heal from it naturally and it takes time. I’m still dealing with mental illness from A combo antibiotic, bactrim/doxycline and sent me to a world of hurt. I’m 8 months out and still healing. It’s very difficult but stay strong, you’ll slowly see recovery
There’s a lot you could do when you feel ready. Have you looked into underlaying causes? Diet? Exercise? Childhood trauma? Disconnection from yourself?
@@philosophicalfishing Thanks. Problem is that I'm severely suicidal 10 months off short term usage. Bedridden etc.. I have been to the psych ward.. I'm just getting worse. I need some kind of antidepressant, pharma or natural..
Thankfully no. I was going to get nitrous oxide but decided against it as it would potentially hit my nervous system. So just local anesthetic and Tylenol
Never crave them. Not since I completed my 5th step in AA. They’re poison to me. But, that being said I craved them daily with intensity for 6 months after coming off them.
@@philosophicalfishing Glad I told my doctor unless it's palliative care no more opiates or benzos I struggle to walk I'm a chronic pain patient 7 months off oxycontin 150 mg daily and valium for muscle spasms.Struggle to walk failed spinal surgery I think was life better on all those pills am I an addict I think of them when in pain.Your demeanour the way you talk you don't come across as an addict.You didn't fall to far I think cos you got a good family cherish your kids be a good husband .God bless I ain't done NA nowt.
