      I wouldnt say cannabis is a simple way to reduce stress . Its pretty well known now that the THC level in the cannibis smoked nowdays is 50% stronger than in the 60's-70's and can actually cause schizophrenia to develop.....paranoia, fear, delusions and disorganization of thoughts.

      It is disappointing to see "capitalism" brought into this subject by highly educated people, as if socialism or communism bring easier lives for people, with less anxiety or suffering which is exactly the opposite of truth. Perhaps you could just admit that life is hard, period. That life in the US is better than many places in the world, but also suffering is relative. If you dont know worse suffering, your suffering is bad none the less. That we have to pick up oir cross and carry it, regardless. And it seems to me that the wisdom I have aquired is that when you surmount one problem, others arrive. This isnt a curse, or something to be fixed, but natural development. You figure out a problem, then move on to be able to see and then address, master other problems. Problems change as you age, move through phases of life, and you gather more wisdom ABOUT life, humans, relationships and derive value from sharing it and helping others cope with their own problems, flourish themselves. But laying any of it at the feet of capitalism is ridiculous.

      As Dr. Josef said, and Nick highlighted: many of the adverse effects *are* the main effects. I would even say that there are no 'side effects' of these drugs. There are only effects.
      Joanna Moncrieff has said it well. To paraphrase her, this is what an ethical psychiatrist should tell their patients: these drugs do not target diseases, they simply alter your consciousness in certain ways. If all the effects, taken together, are worth it to you right now, try taking the drug for a while. If the balance shifts, we can reconsider. But this is no cure for your mental suffering.

Took me over 31 years and years of failed tapers and hell to get off. I can safely say these drugs have ruined my life after losing my job,years of lost wages and can't work because I'm still in protracted withdrawal.

    In our culture we collectively know about puberty and collectively know nothing about the ending of our reproductive years.
    I wonder how many of these groups of people are diagnosed with an disorder and kept on these meds because of losing reproductive hormones that not only changes our bodies but our minds as well.
    Just like the process of puberty …reverse puberty..as I call it…is a process and can be a long one.

    One thing I believe often is overlooked is how lack of nutrients (vitamins, minerals etc) or imbalances (hormones etc) could highly contribute to psych problems. I had insomnia isues for years. At 15-16 years old I went to my doctor with the issue. He put me on the strongest sleep medicine straight away.. (which looking back were insane?!) Imovane. Later on I started taking a multivitamin also containing minerals etc, and.. Guess what?.. my insomnia went away🤔 my question is WHY does doctors prescribe possible lifechanging 'medicine' instead of checking for imbalances and their levels of important vitamins etc... If the body is not functioning properly, ofc symptoms (often mental!) will appear. And these symptoms would in many cases clear up, or create a better capacity to improve when being dealy with...

I call it prescripticide. NOt suicide.

    I respectfully wouldn't say the drugs are "safe and effective for three months and then not safe and effective after that period". I would say that for many people, these drugs are not safe and effective from the get-go - from first dose - and sometimes very dramatically so.

    I have been misdiagnosed, held against my will, tortured, taken to the supreme court by mental health and forced to take antipsychotics for almost seven years by Mental Health in Queensland Australia.
    If you complain about the hardcore side effects, they double your dose.
    They have done this to cover up a 10 hour torture that left me close to death in 2017.
    Unfortunately our drs in Australia are programmed to push those antipsychotics.
    I lost my parents during that time, was cut out of the will and disowned by family.
    I read in a psychology book that there is 27 dimensions and its better to drug us than allow us any insight.
    My life (i have schizophrenia, no issues, am a happy person, can elucidate states) certainly has scarred me a little, body, brain and soul.
    The Ministers office said the Australian Mental Health Act does not recognise the hippocratic oath - DO NO HARM.
    Does no one in corporate led government ever have to take any responsibilty for their actions.
    I asked the Dr Sin if he believed in God when he doubled my dribble drug dose.
    He scoffed NO in derision.
    Oops wrong answer NPC Sim.
    Looking forward to seeing the wall of lies crumble like castles made of sand...
    We all know that the whole industry is a farce.

    I told myself I'll listen to this, keeping my mouth shut/stay out of the comments...I can't, though.
    Through middle school and high school, I saw a couple of psychologists. The first was an older man; the second was a woman, who I allowed to pry me open a bit more than I had the male psychologist. It wasn't my favorite thing in the world. I didn't despise it, either, though. She helped both me and my dad, too. She did some mediating. And we needed it, too.
    The reason I felt so compelled to comment is the psychologist appointments were for an hour and a half, every Thursday. E v e r y Thursday. This wasn't a Medi-Cal situation. It was paid for, out of my dad's pocket.
    Truthfully, I was likely on an insurance policy, somehow. But either way, we drove over an hour, 1 way, for every one of these appointments. And I'm quite aware that Psychologists aren't prescription writing medical professionals. But I wanted to tell my experience to you because of the time that was put in.
    *It was not enough.*
    We still have a long, long laundry list of issues to this very day. I've talked to my dad maybe 7 times in the last 32 years. I'm no cake walk. All I can say is he can be a potent, toxic, narcissistic human being. Not always. But for context, my visits to my psychologist appointments were from 1985 to 1989, possibly the early part of '90, which was when I turned 18. And I was outta there, while I was still 17. But in the early part of that year, I saw my doctor.
    Those appointments were very long-they always went over the hour mark. And it still fell short. It helped.
    The only medicating going on during that time was the self-medicating I did, on my own time.
    Just because the alcohol is expensive doesn't make it less harmful. And there were other things. It wasn't easy. I think back on it, voluntarily. I finally stopped getting the involuntary & sudden flashbacks from that part of my past. Or maybe it's just that something that happened since completely over shadowed that so powerfully, those memories were finally drown out. Either way, I never had a prescription, other than birth control pills. I had no choice in having the prescription. I didn't even take those! I had no need to. My first child was born when I was 23 years old.
    Over sharing.

After awhile of dealing with this with my child, and seeing how much more damage the schools and the therapies were causing. I pulled him, and homeschool him.

Period. Cannot even tell you the number of psychiatrists and nurse that have insisted to me, INSISTED, that there is "no such thing" as "side effects".

    At 15yo, I was put on citalopram for panic attacks. I suddenly noticed sexual problems like having difficulty with orgasm, as well as being in the mood. Once I stopped at 17, my period was absent for over 3 months. I had to go to the ER when it came back because I was bleeding heavily, couldn't get out of bed, and it lasted almost a month long. 14 years later, I still struggle with irregular, heavy, and extremely painful periods.

      I would love to hear Dr. Witt-Doerring’s opinion on patients using ALCOHOL as a “legal substitute” for the entire class of drugs classed as benzodiazepines. A UK physician (indeed TWO) suggests that ALCOHOL is a good substitute for benzos in a system (in UK, both “private” and “public” -NHS doctors & hospitals) where each doctor agrees tapering and NOT abrupt cessation should take place (to avoid seizures, number one, quite apart from other problems). I have been astonished, thoigh I was told this respectfully with an “argument” that ALCOHOL ACTS ON “GABA” receptors. Yes, it does. However there is only anecdotal agreement (if any) on which benzos can be “substituted” for one another. (Typically of course ppl on short acting benzos are moved if at all to diazepam, one of the most long-acting and widely available, then tapered off that. Dr Josef Witt-Doerring has argued that it may be better to taper from whatever particular drug a patient is already on, rather than switching within a drug “class” and then tapering.

    I am a pysch nurse and can see both sides but this shows only one side. There are many people who function great on meds and in fact believe those meds have saved their lives. You can’t put everyone on one basket plus depending on diagnosis some people have a better quality of life with their med. I do feel in general practice these meds are given very fast and easy but if your going to make and argument you really need to show both sides to maintain any type of integrity in your field. Also those working in healthcare know that big pharmaceutical companies are benefiting from many specialities not just psychiatry. Healthcare in general has become more corrupt but it’s all around the world not just here. Also you know a lot has to do with money, it’s easier to give a patient a pill then paying for therapy and lifestyle and diet because then that affects other things other than pysch but now foods. It never ends, it’s all about money, be your own advocate and look at what helps you.

    10:40 "help people who were ADDICTED to these drugs". People aren't 'addicted' to these drugs, and to describe it this way is to fail to understand the pharmokinetics at play. Psychotropic drugs disrupt (with a sledgehammer for a nail effect) normal homeostatic neurology and chemistry. The body 'adapts' to the insult of these incoming chemical floods by shutting down receptors etc to try and mitigate the imbalances they cause. Eventually these adaptations become neural damage. When people seek to cease these medications, that damage is unmasked. And to make it even worse, because they are often misled by the prescribers sometimes it is the act of withdrawal itself that causes damage - beccause it is too sudden and rapid. This phenomenon should not be described as 'addiction'. Because that is false description of what occurs here. And under such misleading descriptions, are covered the true crimes of the psychiatry/psychology paradigms, which gets away with blaming the victim ('Addict') for what it has done to them.
