That is far too general a conclusion. Sometimes medication is absolutely necessary for some kind of reasonable functioning.
Sometimes it's wrong, or too much, but often it's a good thing.
I would never have made it without the medication I was prescribed 20 years ago. I could stop taking it (my own decision) 14 years later once I was in reasonable balance again. But for some people, permanent meds are the only survival strategy.

Other examples: I know a guy who was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He took the meds, struggled along and is now, many years later, a researcher at a major university. Another guy I know has also been diagnosed with schizophrenia, he refuses to take meds and he is a total disaster.

 

The next big problem is microplastics.
- Microplastics have been found in the land, sea and air, across the food chain and throughout the human body.

A bit like this thread! Move on please

 

Perhaps you can provide some arguments or justification for your conclusion that it's a dead end!

 

Oh my goodness, I cannot stress enough how dangerous posts like this are; to you, to observers, to loved ones of affected peoples etc... I'm a psychologist and deal with misinformation regarding psychiatric medications just about every day of my life. My only advice to you, is that if you are questioning what your doctor is prescribing you, get a second opinion from another doctor, or a third, or a fourth, and so on. This thread is absolutely littered with false, misleading, and downright harmful information. I'm sorry you're feeling the way you are, and I understand the constant question: "is the medication actually making me better or worse?", but an online audio forum is certainly not the place to seek answers. All the best

 

That's one interesting mutation! Hope you don't have the ASSHL one too!

 

When someone posts something online to find relief or seek help, they must of course always expect to receive incorrect answers or hate and incitement. But it's an individual decision and is covered by freedom of expression. Perhaps the person who started the thread just wanted to talk about it and hear other opinions from normal people. I think that's perfectly legitimate. I'm for freedom of expression.

Furthermore, the thread starter didn't even mention the medication he was taking, even after being asked. Furthermore, many users, and even the moderator, wrote that it's a very bad idea to seek advice from laypeople on medical issues. Others have already written what they wrote.

Furthermore, anyone in the forum can claim to be a pope, a king, or a psychologist. Since everything is anonymized, we never know whether it's true or not. This is actually a music forum, and they could have deleted this thread if they wanted to.

Nevertheless, thank you very much for your comment from a psychological perspective.

 

Late to the party. Here's my 2 cents. I took heart medications for over two years, as well as anxiety meds, the latter due to the lack of work, and life in general, that came from plandemic. Thought I am totally against man-made 'medicine', I followed their rhetoric until I broke away from it, and took the natural versions. As far as anxiety, that's up to us to rectify, but I know it takes time. But, living in a 'Western Civilisation' mind set, takes its toll. Anyway, I hope things have changed for the better with you.

 

hahaha. that was my exact reaction when my dr told me what it was called.
