Thanks Dr. Yoho for all you do. I have not finished reading this yet but wanted to ask this question before the thread moved on. What do you think of the fairly recent posts the Breggins did warning people that methelyne blue was a neurotoxin and not to go near it? I saw part of a video by Peter about this and Ginger had substack on it. I think you did a post way back on M. Blue and also that you know the Breggins. This may be a good topic for another post?
Dear Dr. Yoho. I would like to offer a personal account of Lacanian psychoanalysis, having practiced it for four years with a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. 1) A person, whoever they may be, who has not undergone analysis cannot talk about it because they cannot understand it. It is essential to undergo analysis to understand what it is about. 2) A good psychoanalyst does not prescribe any medication. Their work is limited to improving communication between the subject's conscious and unconscious. As in any discipline, the vast majority of people are incompetent for a few "pearls," hence the poor reputation of this approach, which is fantastic when done well. I have remarkable examples of success in my close circle, including a case of psychosis (schizophrenia). It is up to the subject, when choosing, to meet as many therapists as necessary, until he finds one with whom something happens, from the first session. 3) A good psychoanalyst charges for his work according to the subject's possibilities. In France, this ranges from 5 to 100 euros per session. I personally managed to pay 10 euros per session, 3 times a week, for 4 years. This logical practice (for access to all) immediately eliminates all those who make it a commercial work solely focused on profit. It is also an essential criterion for the choice of therapist. That being said, knowing to what extent the inner conflicts of everyone can be one of the major sources of health problems (read the biology of beliefs by Bruce Lipton), this discipline can be an extraordinary help and solution when properly conducted, on the absolute condition that the subject admits that he has problems and accepts help (which is not common). We should therefore support the "pearls" and ban the moneymakers, rather than condemning this discipline. Thank you for your attention. Best regards, P. Lasbats.
I think 99% or more of psychiatry is bullshit. They are allopathic medicine drs, and as such are not allowed to investigate cause. In New Zealand, no dr, not even a hospital will help you if you have neurotoxicity as they would have to investigate cause which they aren’t allowed to do.
You would be better off seeing a toxicologist than a psychiatrist. In my multiple experiences, neurotoxic metals and metal salts like mercury or aluminium in dental work or vaccines cause mental illness(neurotoxicity). Remove your most recent neurotoxic foreign object implant and you’ll be back to normal immediately. This is mainly in inefficient detoxers who become hypersensitive to the metals or metal salts when removed like those with a mthfr variant. Remove sources of alumina and mercury, detoxify them and they’ll be fine. You may not even need detoxification. Simply removing these metals does the trick in many cases. Psychiatry is an imaginary world to cover up neurotoxicity from industry. 1 extra dental filling is all it can take in some people. Mental illness is not real. There’s no e I fence it is. Neurotoxicity is real and there is much evidence it is
Thanks for the prayers (always welcome) and advice. Did find a ketamine provider nearby. Never knew about this. If only I could get him to leave his doctors. Started at 22 and he is now 37. His believes he's damaged goods with bad genes. Nothing he can do about it. I can only imagine how all these drugs have damaged his brain. Keep adding new disorders. The latest after all this time is unrelenting standards, perfectionism. I'm afraid I'm just venting here. Sorry. It's so painful to watch him slip away, I'd gladly give my life for him to thrive. I know I'm just one of many but, It's a lonely place to be. Thanks for listening.
Peter Thiel (whom, by the way, I’m no longer fond of) has a question that he asks every interviewee… "What important truth do very few people agree with you on?”
My answer to that question (when asked by my former professor in 2014) was, “The cause of ‘mental illness’ is psychiatry.”
In 2021 I stumbled upon the works of Dr. Szasz, and I was simultaneously relieved that such extensive ground-breaking work had long been developed… and saddened that so few people practicing in the mental health field know of his work, let alone align with it.
There's a great film (older) about all this called "Making A Killing" that's still free on youtube. It's really worth watching: https://youtu.be/Lo0iWh53Pjs
My adult son is a victim of this failed field of medicine. His doctors have destroyed him with drugs. Fifteen years of treatment with no results. No life, no friends, no job. I can’t get him to leave them. He believes everything they say. Heatbreaking! Here’s my question. Even if I can get him to consider a change, where do I find a doctor in that field with this approach? I believe in taking control of your own health and I make healthy choices, trying to avoid doctors and hospitals. I take no prescriptions. Getting off years of psychiatric drugs is another story. We live in Cherry hill, NJ. Who can help him? Our medical industry is so broken.
382. GHOSTING THE "MENTAL HEALTH" INDUSTRY WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER
It is a failed field, and after reading this, you will be done with it unless you are already addicted to some wretched pharma drug. If you are, I have advice for you.
______
Ghosting the Mental Health Industry
means
Ghosting, means suddenly ending ( cutting off ) all communication and avoiding contact with another person without any apparent warning or explanation.
But in this context it is cutting off having anything to do with "mental health industry," not cutting off communication with a person.
This article is a good description of what is wrong with the "mental health industry.
This article is not about seeking mental health CARE for mental health symptoms.
"unless you are already addicted to some wretched pharma drug. If you are, I have advice for you. "
I found two instances in this article that may be "advice for" a person who has become addicted to a psyche drug.
Advice 1. "Can you ever quit them? That depends. For some, the best path is to stay on the drugs. But if you have a strong internal compass and understand the medications, stopping them may be worth a try because you might feel better. "
Advice 2. "If some delusional psychiatrist has addicted you or your loved ones to psych drugs, consider using oral ketamine for your withdrawal. This works well and is now widely available in the US. "

Dachsie questions how using an hallucinogen "works well."
Yes, ketamine, possibly does offer hope and psychiatric symptom improvement.
Yes, this article does explain "HOW using an hallucinogen" MAY repair "damaged synapses" and HOW that "repair" MAY be measured.
I gathered from reading this ketamine article of yours that people use ketamine abusively and ketamine appears appears easy to obtain for "recreational use."
It would seem that if the patient is on several medicines for other substantial "diseases" in addition to "being addicted to one or more psyche medicines" the introduction of ketamine to the patient's regime would have to be managed and monitored very carefully by the healthcare provider.
Controlling the definition of mentally ill is one of the most common weapons of totalitarian regimes against their populations. An "asocial," such as those with "oppositional defiance" diagnosis was exactly how Hitler and Stalin had their political adversaries eliminated from society. Via incarceration, institutionalization or execution (or its sanitized term 'euthanized.')
The DSM-V description of trans is now parsed, so it's impossible to distinguish from mental illness. A political determination, since the movement to normalize trans. Designating them as mentally ill is impolite, 'harmful' to their mental health. Or something like that.
No matter, by sterilizing genital mutilation, via chemical or surgical intervention the century-old SCOTUS decision, Buck v. Bell, "Three generations of imbeciles is enough" sterilizations has been rehabilitated by means of Madison Avenue marketing gurus, "Mad Men" who've conjured up the term "Gender-Affirming Care" to manufacture the consent of the mentally ill to remove themselves from the gene pool, satisfying the movement that Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes and other eugenicists desired.
In DSM, the “psychotic disorders” class includes delusional disorder. A delusion is a person’s belief in something that is objectively not true. There are several categories of this disorder, such as delusions of grandeur (believing that you are a King, a President, or Jesus), lycanthropy (believing you are a werewolf), and somatic (body) disorders (believing you are the opposite sex, for example).
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a mental illness characterized by a preoccupation with a perceived physical defect or flaw that is excessive and causes significant distress or functional impairment. In DSM-4, it was categorized as a psychotic disorder; in DSM-5 it was reclassified as an obsessive-compulsive disorder. DSM-5 BDD has an added diagnostic criterion indicating that the patient must have had repetitive behaviors or mental acts that were in response to preoccupations with perceived defects or flaws in physical appearance (e.g., taking cross-sex hormones or dressing as the opposite sex).
Finally, the delusional variant of BDD (which identifies individuals who are completely convinced that their perceived defects or flaws are truly abnormal in appearance) is no longer coded as both a delusional disorder (somatic type) and BDD. Under DSM-5 this presentation is designated only as BDD with the “absent insight/delusional beliefs” specifier and not as a delusional disorder.
The ICD-10-CM code for Body Dysmorphic Disorder is F45.22, classified under the range of Mental, Behavioral, and Neurodevelopmental disorders.
"Because gender dysphoria is included in the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, also called the DSM, it is diagnosed as a mental disorder. (The DSM is the handbook used by health care professionals as the authoritative guide in diagnosing mental disorders.)
But the gender incongruence – having a gender identity that’s not the one assigned at birth – isn’t what makes gender dysphoria a mental disorder. Having clinically significant dysphoria around the incongruence is what makes it a disorder."
Incongruence? *That's* what makes it a mental disorder?!?!?! Like my OP said, good luck telling the difference. Because you can't. This murky, subjective, undefinable distinction is supposed to make the difference in a mental disorder diagnosis?!?!! This is proof positive of what Robert Yoho is saying about psychiatry - it's phony-baloney pseudoscience gobblygook. It's looking at a cloud and seeing a rabbit while the person next to you sees Abraham Lincoln. It's a sick and deadly joke.
“Dysphoria” simply means “unhappiness.” You can’t tell if someone is unhappy with a lab test or by looking at them. Same as auditory hallucinations. You can’t tell if someone is hearing voices that aren’t there with a lab test or by looking at them. But if the “voices” tell them to pick up a knife and kill a family member in their sleep, and they do so, THAT is detectable. Same with “gender unhappiness.” You can’t tell that someone is unhappy being the sex they are until they tell you or their behavior shows you.
Remember, a psychotic “delusion” is a BELIEF in something that is objectively not true. It’s the BELIEF that separates a drag performer on stage at Las Vegas from a psychotic that actually believes “Trans women are women.”
Yes. They are delusional. Thing is, I/we have no obligation to indulge the delusions of others. They be as delusional as they want to be, as long as they aren't violent, a menace/threat to others. Laws demanding we use "preferred pronouns" or acknowledge their delusions are to be disobeyed. Demands we allow delusional people to assert their delusions as rights we must honor and accommodate are to be rejected. We have no obligation to "just be nice" to delusional people in order to prevent them from becoming violent and disruptive. If we choose to be, fine, our choice. Not a requirement.
And fact is, by indulging the delusions of the mentally disturbed we only make it worse for them. They go deeper into their delusions and imaginings, reality slips further and further away. Until one day they can only exist in an insane asylum. But because they eliminated insane asylums they must change the entire world into an insane asylum so their delusions become our lived reality.
Note: This happened with plandemic mandates, first with masking. Most knew masks didn't work. But even those who knew and chose to mask to "be nice" resulted in the insane world that germaphobes live in becoming the mandated reality we all had to live (and still do in the most delusional communities.)
It's interesting to see those who masked simply to "be nice" even though they knew better joke about the "stupid people" who still mask. Failing to realize it was their own "being nice" in indulging the delusions of the germaphobes that resulted in them going so deep into their delusions their minds are permanently broken. The "nice" people didn't help, they made the mentally ill worse. And it became our shared reality for years. Well people denied service, kicked off of planes, even for babies and children not wearing masks 'properly,' ability to work, go to school, go see loved ones in nursing homes, on their death beds, shop, go to church, sit on park benches, etc. Because they indulged the delusions of the mentally ill
Which became the rush to inject experimental biotech in every arm, even for those with statistically zero percent risk of severe illness or death from nature, many who ended up dying by man's concoctions.
Being nice to accommodate the delusions of mentally ill has consequences for the well. Same thing is happening with the trans delusions being normalized, imposed. Because too many are simply "being nice." Only mass societal insanity awaits indulging the delusions of the mentally unwell.
Voltaire's quote comes to mind: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
Not many people have been paying attention to the explosion of "Behavioral Health" programs and facilities in their states and local communities since 2020. I have. And what had been a slowly growing current of them across the nation in the past 15 years turned into a torrent flood after 2020. It is my contention that this is intentional, as most things of this sort are. State legislatures have passed funding for "Behavioral Health" at record levels, passed down to local government and private providers in communities since plandemic.
Behavioral Health is psychological interventions (like "fear-amplification" masking NPI) and bleeds over to psychiatry. Judges and the criminal justice system had previously been the focus of most Behavioral Health interventions, purportedly to address recidivism. For drunk drivers to chomo's, anger management, etc. Diversionary programs or enhancements meted out for punishment/rehabilitation. Largely ineffective.
Plandemic was the justification to apply Behavioral Health interventions to a broader community, "vaccine hesitancy" attributed to mental health, needing a "reframing of perspective" - for "public safety," of course. Could be racism, transphobia, climate denial, any non-narrative-approved ideas deemed "mental illness." It is my contention that we are witnessing/living the opening rounds of this. It won't be police who come to round up the dissenters, political opponents. It will be the seemingly non-threatening young woman from the Behavioral Health agency with the clipboard who shows up at our doorsteps to order a psych eval/hold - with armed police in case the person "experiencing a mental health emergency" objects. And then come the needles, pills, compulsory medication...or one day..."euthanasia."
They are the threats. The police only there to ensure compliance. The Behavioral Health explosion is building the infrastructure to eliminate opposition to totalitarianism. Treat them accordingly. With extreme prejudice.
Thank you for this post. At a time when patients are their most vulnerable, they fall victim to this trap. Instead, take vitamins, minerals, improve your food quality, get sunshine, and take walks. The basics will work for many but will take time. Invest in yourself. Find moral support for taking this path.
Hormonal replacement indeed. Plus some other stuff. I read "Hormone Secrets" (I think that's the name of your book) and totally changed my life. I found an NP who did BHRT, and now I'm a lot more functional.
Funny thing about my progesterone though - I couldn't take it at night for the longest time, cause it kept me awake. But when I started taking a proper amount of iodine during the day, it helps put me out at night. But I can't seem to find anything to tell me why that might be. I swear there has to be some correlation.
I was done with this shit a long time ago. Anti-depressants (which I was on once, briefly, to quit smoking) make me vacillate between homicidal rage and suicidal depression after about 3 days. If I have any depression or anxiety, a couple St. John's Wort fix me right up. If not, I take a nap. Although, I haven't had any depression since taking 20k IU of D a day.
Some people swear by anti-depressants, but I don't see how that's possible. It also explains a lot to me about the left and their trans movement.
I watched a video once about how shrinks were desperate to be counted as "real" doctors back in the day. Lo and behold, the mind altering drug industry was born. Disgusting. My old GP had me on benzos for over a decade for anxiety and insomnia. He was always trying to stick me on anti-depressants too, but I refused those. Withdrawal symptoms (I quit cold turkey, as I tend to be an extremist, all or nothing) lasted 4 months, and I was one of the lucky ones. Some people take years. Was two years before I could fall asleep easily without them.
Edit - He had me on Ambien at the same time, same duration. And during that time, I was on Seroquel for a while too. I finally had enough of the brain fog and dumped the lot. Had to taper the Ambien. Cold turkey does NOT work on that crap.
I still have to take a handful of stuff to sleep. Glycine, progesterone, melatonin, magnesium threonine, valerian root, and magnesium biglycinate. I damn my ex-GP to the furthest reaches of hell for putting me through that. Ignorant pill pushing git.
I found out in Nutrition school that over 50% of the students were anorexic or bulimic. === they were studying ways to heal THEMSELVES!
Which is good, but in my 35 years working with people, INCLUDING MANY LICENSED PSYCHIATRISTS, I saw most of these "healers" were more messed up than their clients.
I NEVER recommend any client see a mainstream psych doc. MOST are harmed beyond belief from the drugs you write about.
I have found most psych docs are messed up people who think they are top of the heap, but oh I have counseling (yeah from one of your YES buddies who is equally messed up) to keep me in check? WTH?
Thanks again for being brave to post who and what is the root problem.
Dr Royal Lee said this in 1953 in front of hundreds of docs, "we are feeding people poisons in trying to treat the reactions of starvation (of nutrients)."
That the DSM is a "tourist" pamphlet, largely invented to sell meaningless drugs, has been known for at least 30 years. However, from direct experience with my mother (schizophrenia from PTSD due to domestic violence), I must say that Risperdal (that's what it's called in Italy, I don't know what it's called in the US) solved the problem. From 40 drops a day to 5 drops at night. Constantly adapting the dosage to the circumstances and always seeking the lowest effective dose. She enjoyed (she, I a little less😄) 25 years of serenity. She also remembered the original trauma. I believe that for these terribly powerful drugs, there should be someone responsible for the therapy. You can't put these monsters in the hands of a psychotic. When psychiatry was a serious matter, we worked in pairs. One psychiatrist was in charge of the therapy and another psychiatrist monitored the results with traditional psychiatric therapies. One monitored the other. Just to clarify, Risperdal, given haphazardly or in the wrong dose, is responsible for neuroleptic malignant syndrome (fatal and without an antidote). They tried giving it to autistic children: they killed quite a few of them.
I, compliments of the biased so called family court system, had to deal with a few mental health experts. I learned, quickly, they weren't.
One was that idiot Goodwin, out of Wenatchee, who insisted all his patients had to take Prozac. Fortunately, aside the injuries he caused, the public was, eventually, made safe from him.
Another was an idiot who ordered product from me, and which I delivered. When he got it, he claimed it was wrong. After he was shown the order he made, we became enemies.
He wrote a so-called report for the court. It all but blamed me for WWIII and every bit of suffering my ex to be experienced, even before she knew me.
The judge read it a bit, sat it down, stared at me a moment, read some more, sat it down, started some more. . . . . It was several pages of 100% anti-me.
Finally, the judge set it down, stared at me again, no doubt found mirth in the bullets I was sweating, then reached over, grabbed the report, wadded it up, looked at the smug psychologist and said, "that is the most biased piece of garbage I have ever read.
Okay, I might have pushed a few of the shrink's buttons. When he belittled me for making a big deal out of catching my ex in the sack with other than me, I might have suggested his wife looked hot and. . . .
My sister recently took her life. She was prescribed a SNRI, antipsychotic, multiple benzos and other "sleeping" meds by a NP at the end of March. This is after she already had a bad reaction to Prozac years earlier. May 2nd was her final day of life. I am pissed because her partner was the witness to her final month (which I can only assume was hell) and encouraged her to continue... as the meds "take time to work". Even so called caretakers have been brainwashed to believe that the suffering will subside with time... and increased doses. I understand the conundrum many are put in when interacting with very sick people but as a prescriber you have an obligation to know WTF you are doing. Period. Tucker Carlson's interview with Josef Witt-Doerring was disturbing. But most likely nothing you don't know. Thank you for continuing to expose these criminals with your writing and research.

(The DSM is the handbook used by health care professionals as the authoritative guide in diagnosing mental disorders.)
But the gender incongruence – having a gender identity that’s not the one assigned at birth – isn’t what makes gender dysphoria a mental disorder. Having clinically significant dysphoria around the incongruence is what makes it a disorder."
Incongruence? *That's* what makes it a mental disorder?!?!?! Like my OP said, good luck telling the difference. Because you can't. This murky, subjective, undefinable distinction is supposed to make the difference in a mental disorder diagnosis?!?!! This is proof positive of what Robert Yoho is saying about psychiatry - it's phony-baloney pseudoscience gobblygook. It's looking at a cloud and seeing a rabbit while the person next to you sees Abraham Lincoln. It's a sick and deadly joke.
“Dysphoria” simply means “unhappiness.” You can’t tell if someone is unhappy with a lab test or by looking at them. Same as auditory hallucinations. You can’t tell if someone is hearing voices that aren’t there with a lab test or by looking at them. But if the “voices” tell them to pick up a knife and kill a family member in their sleep, and they do so, THAT is detectable. Same with “gender unhappiness.” You can’t tell that someone is unhappy being the sex they are until they tell you or their behavior shows you.
Remember, a psychotic “delusion” is a BELIEF in something that is objectively not true. It’s the BELIEF that separates a drag performer on stage at Las Vegas from a psychotic that actually believes “Trans women are women.”
Yes. They are delusional. Thing is, I/we have no obligation to indulge the delusions of others. They be as delusional as they want to be, as long as they aren't violent, a menace/threat to others. Laws demanding we use "preferred pronouns" or acknowledge their delusions are to be disobeyed. Demands we allow delusional people to assert their delusions as rights we must honor and accommodate are to be rejected. We have no obligation to "just be nice" to delusional people in order to prevent them from becoming violent and disruptive. If we choose to be, fine, our choice. Not a requirement.
And fact is, by indulging the delusions of the mentally disturbed we only make it worse for them. They go deeper into their delusions and imaginings, reality slips further and further away. Until one day they can only exist in an insane asylum. But because they eliminated insane asylums they must change the entire world into an insane asylum so their delusions become our lived reality.
Note: This happened with plandemic mandates, first with masking. Most knew masks didn't work. But even those who knew and chose to mask to "be nice" resulted in the insane world that germaphobes live in becoming the mandated reality we all had to live (and still do in the most delusional communities.)
It's interesting to see those who masked simply to "be nice" even though they knew better joke about the "stupid people" who still mask. Failing to realize it was their own "being nice" in indulging the delusions of the germaphobes that resulted in them going so deep into their delusions their minds are permanently broken. The "nice" people didn't help, they made the mentally ill worse. And it became our shared reality for years. Well people denied service, kicked off of planes, even for babies and children not wearing masks 'properly,' ability to work, go to school, go see loved ones in nursing homes, on their death beds, shop, go to church, sit on park benches, etc. Because they indulged the delusions of the mentally ill
Which became the rush to inject experimental biotech in every arm, even for those with statistically zero percent risk of severe illness or death from nature, many who ended up dying by man's concoctions.
Being nice to accommodate the delusions of mentally ill has consequences for the well. Same thing is happening with the trans delusions being normalized, imposed. Because too many are simply "being nice." Only mass societal insanity awaits indulging the delusions of the mentally unwell.
Voltaire's quote comes to mind: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
second most evil field after peds
Not many people have been paying attention to the explosion of "Behavioral Health" programs and facilities in their states and local communities since 2020. I have. And what had been a slowly growing current of them across the nation in the past 15 years turned into a torrent flood after 2020. It is my contention that this is intentional, as most things of this sort are. State legislatures have passed funding for "Behavioral Health" at record levels, passed down to local government and private providers in communities since plandemic.
Behavioral Health is psychological interventions (like "fear-amplification" masking NPI) and bleeds over to psychiatry. Judges and the criminal justice system had previously been the focus of most Behavioral Health interventions, purportedly to address recidivism. For drunk drivers to chomo's, anger management, etc. Diversionary programs or enhancements meted out for punishment/rehabilitation. Largely ineffective.
Plandemic was the justification to apply Behavioral Health interventions to a broader community, "vaccine hesitancy" attributed to mental health, needing a "reframing of perspective" - for "public safety," of course. Could be racism, transphobia, climate denial, any non-narrative-approved ideas deemed "mental illness." It is my contention that we are witnessing/living the opening rounds of this. It won't be police who come to round up the dissenters, political opponents. It will be the seemingly non-threatening young woman from the Behavioral Health agency with the clipboard who shows up at our doorsteps to order a psych eval/hold - with armed police in case the person "experiencing a mental health emergency" objects. And then come the needles, pills, compulsory medication...or one day..."euthanasia."
They are the threats. The police only there to ensure compliance. The Behavioral Health explosion is building the infrastructure to eliminate opposition to totalitarianism. Treat them accordingly. With extreme prejudice.
Thank you for this post. At a time when patients are their most vulnerable, they fall victim to this trap. Instead, take vitamins, minerals, improve your food quality, get sunshine, and take walks. The basics will work for many but will take time. Invest in yourself. Find moral support for taking this path.

hormonal replacement
Hormonal replacement indeed. Plus some other stuff. I read "Hormone Secrets" (I think that's the name of your book) and totally changed my life. I found an NP who did BHRT, and now I'm a lot more functional.
Funny thing about my progesterone though - I couldn't take it at night for the longest time, cause it kept me awake. But when I started taking a proper amount of iodine during the day, it helps put me out at night. But I can't seem to find anything to tell me why that might be. I swear there has to be some correlation.
no idea but see my iodine post

I was done with this shit a long time ago. Anti-depressants (which I was on once, briefly, to quit smoking) make me vacillate between homicidal rage and suicidal depression after about 3 days. If I have any depression or anxiety, a couple St. John's Wort fix me right up. If not, I take a nap. Although, I haven't had any depression since taking 20k IU of D a day.
Some people swear by anti-depressants, but I don't see how that's possible. It also explains a lot to me about the left and their trans movement.
I watched a video once about how shrinks were desperate to be counted as "real" doctors back in the day. Lo and behold, the mind altering drug industry was born. Disgusting. My old GP had me on benzos for over a decade for anxiety and insomnia. He was always trying to stick me on anti-depressants too, but I refused those. Withdrawal symptoms (I quit cold turkey, as I tend to be an extremist, all or nothing) lasted 4 months, and I was one of the lucky ones. Some people take years. Was two years before I could fall asleep easily without them.
Edit - He had me on Ambien at the same time, same duration. And during that time, I was on Seroquel for a while too. I finally had enough of the brain fog and dumped the lot. Had to taper the Ambien. Cold turkey does NOT work on that crap.
I still have to take a handful of stuff to sleep. Glycine, progesterone, melatonin, magnesium threonine, valerian root, and magnesium biglycinate. I damn my ex-GP to the furthest reaches of hell for putting me through that. Ignorant pill pushing git.
see my sleep chapter in the Apocalypse Almanac
CBD oil
seroquel is an antipsychotic
Yes, but it's sometimes prescribed off-label for sleep disorders. Oddly enough, I'm not actually psychotic from all those meds at the same time.
I know
the damn shrinks use that stuff indiscriminately
HAH!
I found out in Nutrition school that over 50% of the students were anorexic or bulimic. === they were studying ways to heal THEMSELVES!
Which is good, but in my 35 years working with people, INCLUDING MANY LICENSED PSYCHIATRISTS, I saw most of these "healers" were more messed up than their clients.
I NEVER recommend any client see a mainstream psych doc. MOST are harmed beyond belief from the drugs you write about.
I have found most psych docs are messed up people who think they are top of the heap, but oh I have counseling (yeah from one of your YES buddies who is equally messed up) to keep me in check? WTH?
Thanks again for being brave to post who and what is the root problem.
Dr Royal Lee said this in 1953 in front of hundreds of docs, "we are feeding people poisons in trying to treat the reactions of starvation (of nutrients)."
That the DSM is a "tourist" pamphlet, largely invented to sell meaningless drugs, has been known for at least 30 years. However, from direct experience with my mother (schizophrenia from PTSD due to domestic violence), I must say that Risperdal (that's what it's called in Italy, I don't know what it's called in the US) solved the problem. From 40 drops a day to 5 drops at night. Constantly adapting the dosage to the circumstances and always seeking the lowest effective dose. She enjoyed (she, I a little less😄) 25 years of serenity. She also remembered the original trauma. I believe that for these terribly powerful drugs, there should be someone responsible for the therapy. You can't put these monsters in the hands of a psychotic. When psychiatry was a serious matter, we worked in pairs. One psychiatrist was in charge of the therapy and another psychiatrist monitored the results with traditional psychiatric therapies. One monitored the other. Just to clarify, Risperdal, given haphazardly or in the wrong dose, is responsible for neuroleptic malignant syndrome (fatal and without an antidote). They tried giving it to autistic children: they killed quite a few of them.
There's a better way, she just hasn't discovered it, yet. Glad she's doing better. Perhaps it's time to get rid of the crutch once and for all.
lots of other probs w Risperdal. NMS is only the start.
I, compliments of the biased so called family court system, had to deal with a few mental health experts. I learned, quickly, they weren't.
One was that idiot Goodwin, out of Wenatchee, who insisted all his patients had to take Prozac. Fortunately, aside the injuries he caused, the public was, eventually, made safe from him.
Another was an idiot who ordered product from me, and which I delivered. When he got it, he claimed it was wrong. After he was shown the order he made, we became enemies.
He wrote a so-called report for the court. It all but blamed me for WWIII and every bit of suffering my ex to be experienced, even before she knew me.
The judge read it a bit, sat it down, stared at me a moment, read some more, sat it down, started some more. . . . . It was several pages of 100% anti-me.
Finally, the judge set it down, stared at me again, no doubt found mirth in the bullets I was sweating, then reached over, grabbed the report, wadded it up, looked at the smug psychologist and said, "that is the most biased piece of garbage I have ever read.
Okay, I might have pushed a few of the shrink's buttons. When he belittled me for making a big deal out of catching my ex in the sack with other than me, I might have suggested his wife looked hot and. . . .
Hey, he started it.

My sister recently took her life. She was prescribed a SNRI, antipsychotic, multiple benzos and other "sleeping" meds by a NP at the end of March. This is after she already had a bad reaction to Prozac years earlier. May 2nd was her final day of life. I am pissed because her partner was the witness to her final month (which I can only assume was hell) and encouraged her to continue... as the meds "take time to work". Even so called caretakers have been brainwashed to believe that the suffering will subside with time... and increased doses. I understand the conundrum many are put in when interacting with very sick people but as a prescriber you have an obligation to know WTF you are doing. Period. Tucker Carlson's interview with Josef Witt-Doerring was disturbing. But most likely nothing you don't know. Thank you for continuing to expose these criminals with your writing and research.
female suicides are rare without psych drug poisons
Geez, that is awful. My sincerest condolences.
