Patients are not getting the promised results after taking prescribed medication from the range of drugs now commonly known as antidepressants. Not only are the benefits in question, but also the growing categories of ‘side effects’ that follow a course of these drugs. ‘Antidepressants’ – a misnomer – these drugs can cause depression.
One clinical trial of the drug Halcion resulted in 70% of people experiencing memory loss, depression and paranoia. Many tranquilizers are now known to cause an increase of the symptoms for which the medication was prescribed.
Doctors who once trustingly followed the claims of the pharmaceutical industry that these new psychiatric drugs would cure mental conditions, including the most common one of depression, are now disenchanted. Some professors in psychiatry have stated the case for caution or even banning their use in the USA, as has been done in some other countries where psychiatrists seek for better alternatives and safer, more natural treatment methods.
When we are informed of psychiatric drugs and their ineffectiveness in relieving mental suffering, and are alert to the dangers of toxicity and possible damage to brain and nervous systems, most of us would choose alternative approaches to achieving mental fitness for ourselves and our families.
Freedom of choice is a democratic principle to be protected. This is at risk with looming government intervention in regard to our children not only through enforced vaccination but through mind changing psychiatric drugs.
By making increased effort to build our general health, through nutrition, exercising, practicing relaxation, meditation and reducing any pollutants in our psyche and importantly, improving our respiration and oxygen intake we are likely to be able to better help ourselves.
