Most doctors are ignorant of #BigPharma psychiatric drugs. @jordanbpeterson spent his #benzo withdrawal in a medically induced coma & I spent mine in a psych hospital, where my withdrawal symptoms were used to diagnose me as #bipolar & dump me on more psychosis producing drugs.
The large majority of psych drugs are prescribed by general practitioners, who have no clue how dangerous these drugs are & how dangerous it can be to come off of them. They get their education on them from the drug reps coming into their office, pushing them to prescribe them.
When I was walking over to hang myself in the psychiatric hospital I looked into the bathroom & saw my dog wearing a blue bonnet & she was saying something to me. That’s drug induced psychosis, but I was made to feel like I was a piece of crap & selfish for trying to kill myself.
I’ve worked w/ people who can’t get off of psych drugs—the withdrawal symptoms are too severe, not just mentally but physically. People are suffering on them, having been led to believe they had #mentalillness or a chemical imbalance, which was a marketing ploy & does not exist.
Symptoms of #mentalillness are real & can be caused by a variety of things: trauma, toxins, thyroid issues, hormone imbalances, diet allergies, adverse reactions to drugs, etc…which all require LIFESTYLE interventions, but Pharma companies want you to think a pill will help you.
Where have we seen this before? When there are lifestyle interventions or possible other effective treatments for an illness but they’re shut down by Pharma companies who try to funnel people’s minds down to only ONE treatment—the one THEY say. Sound familiar to you?
Lifestyle interventions like diet, trauma work, removing myself from abuse & boundaries saved my life. I’d be six feet under if I’d continued following allopathic medicine. You have to remove the belief that Pharma cares—they don’t. They are overall in it to make a profit.
I had to take the responsibility of my own health into my own hands & take it away from anyone else. Now I research on my own & I get my info from a variety of sources, not from the latest drug rep that just left a doctor’s office who’ll get a $ bonus for pushing that drug.
