Walking into a shrink’s office for the first time at 15 years old was probably the worst decision of my life. I lost all connection to my true self. I let the DSM define who I was. Psychiatry completely controlled how I viewed myself and what I was capable of.
“It’s important to seek professional help” is probably the worst “mental health” advice I’ve ever gotten. I wish instead someone had said “listen to yourself, trust yourself, think for yourself.”
As a 28-year-old who experienced the massive negative impact of these poisons from ages 15-19, I most certainly can confirm this statement. My expertise comes from lived experience and is, therefore, far more valuable than any so called, "mental health professional."
Prescribing children & adolescents exhibiting behavioral problems toxic psychiatric medications as a frontline treatment should be considered child abuse.
This is your brain on SSRIs: chemically castrated not just sexually but emotionally, morally, spiritually. The same serotonergic manipulation that's supposed to lift your mood also severs the invisible threads connecting you to everything that matters.
Nobody returns to "normal functioning" because of an SSRI (antidepressant drug).
This would be impossible- as the drug is so disruptive to the system that everyone taking the drug is by definition not functioning normally.
Blunting of emotions is not normal.
@iatrogenic_harm@NickTaber It’s a toxic combination of both in most cases. The mental health industry is designed to shut you up with pills and “talk you out of your problems” with CBT instead of addressing them. The pills prime you to be subservient to the therapist.
I’m almost 10 years off all psychotropic medication (that was never my plan) and every 6 months or so, I am noticing improvements even this far out. Any “medication” that takes 10 years to recover from should be illegal.
Very important project to correct the published record on paroxetine in children. Someone buy Attorney George W. Murgatroyd III a beer! There are other articles published by JAACAP that are as misleading...
What the fuck do cancer charities actually do? They know what causes cancer and they know what cures it. They've known all along. Yet they straight up lie on camera, or in a mailer, whatever, asking for our money. It's disgusting how bad the medical industry lies to us.
How many people are wandering around totally numb and don’t even realize it? More than you would think. People being put on SSRIs and other psychotropic drugs is becoming the “norm” and people don’t realize how much this can completely change their personality and soul.
