they end up with “subsequent” “long-term socioeconomic difficulties” “including lower income, unemployment, and increased likelihood to live alone and to be unmarried.”
Stopping psychiatric drugs can be as dangerous as starting them. It's important to taper off psychiatric drugs carefully and with support. we urge readers to read Dr. Peter Breggin's book Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal and share it with your therapist and other support persons. Dr. Breggin provides a host of valuable information about why to avoid psychiatric drugs, adverse effects from them, how to carefully withdraw from the drugs, gathering support for the withdrawal journey, and answers to various issues that may come up during the withdrawal process.
Is there a protocol for addressing family, clients or friends, especially in institutions, who are wrongfully put on Psychiatric drugs with false diagnoses? For instance an agency with any backbone willing to investigate and act against the pervasive Pharmaceutical/Medical cartels?
Hi Pamela, The circumstances are so individual! There is no agency that I am aware of. In the extreme, one might consult with an attorney but of course that is expensive. Dr. Breggin has written about how someone who has been hospitalized should conduct themselves to protect themselves while in the institution and until they are discharged. See his book Toxic Psychiatry. https://breggin.com/article-detail/post_detail/toxic-psychiatry
Truth!!! When I detox from my antidepressant, xanex and ambien I was an absolute mess, but God helped me get through it. At one point it only concerned me when my blood pressure went up so I went to the hospital and they wrote down in my chart that I was manic. Ahhhh no I was detoxing and stated that! Once you’re diagnosed with that and yes it was a false diagnosis. I actually brought it up to the psychiatrist because I was an idiot in my 30s and I just wanted help. It never goes away that diagnosis. It’s been almost 6 years, I’ve never felt better!!! Getting back with Jesus Christ. What’s the best thing I ever did and throwing that junk out!! Not needed, never was!
Thank you for all that you do and have done to help me years ago but I just listening to you on YouTube and I bought your book! Much love . May God bless you and keep you safe Dr 💝
How long were you in those meds for? Yes, it has been frustrating for me, as “depression” will be forever in my list of diagnoses, when the real issue for me was likely spiritual warfare/oppression (I was believing the enemy’s lies, not able to discern that what was said was a lie, for so many years), and I’d had a couple head/neck traumas and wonder if that may have influenced as well… I am so encouraged to hear this; I’ve been in lexapro (i wish I was never put on i) since 2006, and I was weaned down too quickly with recs from physicians (seeing a functional Med doc, pcp, and even my psychiatrist), realizing this once I read the related portion in Breggin’s book, and watching a video on weaning down in a hyperbolic way instead of linear… I am down to 1.6mg of the liquid suspension, but dealing with mold toxicity and seeing a doc for that, along with other neuro issues—my doc relayed that after dealing with this, he would help me get off of lexapro… it has taken time, but through these current treatment regimens (diet, generally supporting cell function/repair with phospholipid supp approach, and seeing a NUCCA chiropractor… and clinging to Jesus! And asking for prayer!) I’ve seen light of hope for healing… “heal me, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for Thou art my praise”—I pray this all the time… thankful there are docs like dr breggin—we need so many more of them. Thank you, Krissy, for relaying hope for healing, ultimately through the Lord, and for mentioning that dr Breggin has YouTube videos! I am going to search for them, now. I hate how I am dependent in lexapro… I hope I can get off of it one day… God bless you all, and protect and cover you in this increasingly dark, evil, and deceptive world.
P.S. shortly after being on antidepressants, I overdosed intentionally on sleeping pills. I had been depressed for 10 months pretty bad, not working at that point and although I was a believer, I was not walking with him and I couldn’t see a way out. This is because those drugs are sorcery, and Satan wanted me dead as there is a big increase in suicide that the doctor always tells you the benefits will outweigh the risks they say. Is psychiatrists will be responsible on judgment day.!!!
Amen!! May the Lord bless you and keep you! Yeah I found out about Dr Breggin actually from a pastor I was listening to, at which point I realized that these drugs are a kind of sorcery! Yay! A sister in Christ in AZ!! :)
Mind altering drugs have long been associated with occult rituals. The Greek word "pharma Kaiah" is linked to the word for sorcery. Christians need to practice discernment when consulting practitioners of our corrupt medical system. The people running it at the top do not value human life.
There may be a logical argument to associate pharmaceutical drugs to the biblical pharmekia. But to blanket state that everyone taking a pharmaceutical, psychiatric or otherwise is practicing sorcery is ridiculous
Caitlin! I will be praying for you most definitely. Unfortunately, my favorite video about the damaging effects of psychiatric drugs has been taken down from YouTube ! Grrr I used to share it with others on social media. He may still have some up or somebody could have kept them and put them on rumble or bitchute for all I know I don’t know. I was on them for 22 years personally it was the Ambien. I believe that really was disturbing coming off of as I could not sleep one night without it. My brain became highly addicted to it and I knew someday I had to get off of it. I occasionally will take a melatonin, but never prescription medication again, I was on Twitter back in late 2017 and I was in a survival private chat room. I have PTSD from being assaulted in the army by someone I was dating. There were two Christians in that chat room, and one of them told me that these drugs were sorcery I had never heard that before back in my 30s they even gave me ECT! I had four treatments. Later I lost my memory I could not find my way around common places like work or driving to work which was 12 miles and I always took the same route. This went on and off for years and I went to a doctor and he thought I might’ve been having seizures and I thought it was from the Xanax. I look back now and I know it was from the ECT. I lost a job because of it a very good job because I couldn’t think. I wrote the hospital to get all of my records and they sent them to me with the exception of the ECT records, which I was told was nothing but experimental at this point. There’s nothing healing about ECT. They are done in the basement across the United States and many other countries, I called the hospital and said you sent everything except my ECT records. I had electroshock therapy and I want my records. She said ma’am I’m not allowed to talk to you and she hung up. It was crazy. I was going to sue but you can’t even get access to your records that shows you how evil it is . I have since healed by the grace of God. I was the same as you I had spiritual warfare/oppression, and I was believing the enemies lies. Interestingly enough I’ve had neck trauma myself so I suffer from migraines for over 40 years and I’m trying not to take any medication for those and I still pray for healing. Jesus will be back soon and I’ll never have a migraine again I will keep you in my prayers most definitely that God would keep you under his wing while you heal from this junk. I would love to chat with you on the phone or text but I don’t think this is probably a good place to leave information I don’t know. May God bless you. You Will be just fine :)
Wow! There is so much more shadiness/corruption than I realized… Thank you for sharing, and giving God the glory! He is the One who heals broken hearts and mends wounds, and sets the captives free! It saddens and angers me to hear what you have gone through… you are right—there will be righteous judgement one day!
I know that God knows what is happening with my body, and have been praying that He leads with money, time, food, docs, treatment regimens… I’ve realized that what really helps people medically speaking, require a lot of out of pocket pay…
Have you looked into seeing a functional Med doc for your migraines? Let me know if you are led and you can pray about it, if you want, if you’d like me to give names of two I’ve seen; the one I am seeing (via Telehealth from Georgia—I live in FL) has brought about the most hope and change over the last few months, just a lot of out of pocket cash! and I cannot work the shifts and hours like I did before 2021 (when all my issues came to a head)…
Anyways, yes, perhaps we can correspond via email first? My email is: caitlin910@gmail.com
I learning about the need for the heart to heal and about deliverance (need to figure out what some entryways are; the same pastor I heard about dr breggin through has some videos about it, and a list of questions and scripture… PTL, I can concentrate on words and not get nauseous, and don’t feel as fatigued!!!)…
Would love to speak to you more, I could go on (my brain is all of the place and hard for it to focus)… but maybe we could pray for each other, too. Let me know if you ever find that vid! I’ve appreciated survivingantidepressants.org, a group of people trying to get off of psychotropic meds.
What a huge heart you have Dr. Breggin . My Lord. Imagine if everyone in your profession of health care had your heart?.. no autrocities would occur .. which really makes you think; without doctors to carry out Mengele instructions, pharmakia would not be the 3rd leading cause of death. Why are people suing big pharma companies? When it is the " dealer " that is the real criminal? Thinking out loud😁 .
Dr. Breggin, In my opinion, you are one of the most important physicians our country has been blessed to have, period. You have been calling out the dangers of psychiatric drugs for decades, with great courage and perseverance, writing life-changing books, testifying against Big Pharma, and doing many educational videos. Many millions of people and their families have had their lives utterly destroyed by the needless and reckless prescribing of neurotoxic psychotropic drugs. You have done amazing work teaching and educating others about how dangerous these medications are, and have saved more people than you will every know. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

The Veterans Administration is a major buyer and distributor of psychotropic medications, and I do not believe it’s very helpful for most veterans. A few decades ago, after complaining of a few common issues related to autism I wanted to try to overcome with perhaps counseling and maybe diet change, which I never complained about or needed medication for in the past, such as over-sensory perceptions that will cause nausea and headaches, like strong orders and bright artificial lights in department stores or mall, passing by candle shops, walking down light fixture isles with whirling ceiling fans in conjunction with all the other orders from people’s perfume & cologne and all the extreme sounds and intercom noise, etc… I was put on Zoloft, then Paxil, then Luvox, then a couple others, one week after another, then gave up. Holy hell the side effects were maddening-terrifying. Honestly, if those meds create what’s supposed to be “normal,” I’d much rather be abnormal, forever.
Nearly everyone I know is now on some sort of "anxiety assistance." Last one was a friend who has been a health advocate all her life, but is now going through a tough time due to selling a property and downsizing. Her first appointment with a new primary care Dr resulted in a Lexapro script. Unbelievable.
It's the latest antidepressant craze and as dangerous as other SSRIs. Folks can see Dr. Breggin's book: Medication Madness for details of hazards and adverse reactions -- Ginger
My doc has me on ~45% protein, ~45% vegetables (including starches like potatoes), 10% low-sugar fruits…. Includes good fats like nuts, seeds, use of coconut oil/avocado oil… no grains; no sugar, no rice… avoid peanuts, soy, pistachios, cashews, legumes, leafy greens…
Ideally grass-fed organic meats, wild-caught fish, pastured and organic eggs
Awesome! Same here, with you! I know every body is different, as well, but learning about the importance of high quality proteins and fats! Yeah apparently soy has the highest contamination of pesticides than any other food and have a lot of estrogens…. I’ve not heard of coconut aminos!
So right. I am SO TIRED of hearing “I have anxiety.” So? Get control of yourself and deal with LIFE. Children today aren’t taught to do that because mommy and daddy take away all the barriers (if they are around at all with the divorce rate and then they are hunting for their new honey while Ignoring their child.)
IMHO, the downside to all of the wonderful conveniences and niceties we've enjoyed in recent decades is that most people have lost all ability to be the least bit uncomfortable. I know people who won't do any form of time restricted eating, because getting through the first hunger pang is too difficult. I once heard an interview about the characteristics of world-class athletes. The one trait they all shared was "the willingness to suffer." The ability to sit with discomfort, be it physical, emotional, or spiritual, is key to any real health or progress. [end rant, lol...]
Absolutely. I get the monthly magazine from Voice of the Martyrs which strikes me to my soul every time I read a story. We are ALL so friggin’ spoiled, pampered and lazy. None of us could last 15 minutes where the majority of African or SE Asians live. They live in fear for their and their families’ lives every single day. Buddhism, Hindus and Muslims hate Christians and persecute and kill them for their faith and make daily living a severe struggle.
It is hard on their friends when someone "takes a wrong turn." Just what is your friend up against with Lexapro? This is Lyle Murphy of the Alternative to Meds Center giving the ins-and-outs of Lexapro.
So, how does a person on psychiatric medication go about finding a psychiatrist or doctor who will be willing to guide a patient through the long, involved, difficult, delicate process of helping them withdraw from medication? The vast majority of physicians, probably all over the country, do not share Dr. Breggin's negative view of psychiatric medications. So, unless someone can afford to hop on a plane, fly to the part of the country where Dr.Breggin or a similar doctor practices, then set themselves up in a hotel or other long-term living accomodations there, to begin the process of being treated by him, or whatever similarly "non-biochemially-oriented psychiatrist" they can find...then that patient is pretty much stuck living wherever they're living and staying on their medications...since it's too dangerous to get off of them on your own. And most "mental patients" like myself (being on a combination of SSDI, SSI and Food Stamps) simply don't have the financial resources to make a trip like that...and if no one in your family is either in a financial position to pay for such a trip, nor, for that matter, would they even be willing to go along with such a plan even if they could (since, in my experience, I used to "catch all kinds of flack" from, not just my family, but from my doctor and other professionals, years ago when I "dared" to read Dr. Breggin's book Toxic Psychiatry)...so, most family members and medical professionals are not open to the suggestion of helping a person "withdraw" from psychiatric drugs, so...like I said: i'm, just, stuck, living where and how I'm living, for the time being...unless psychiatry ever changes its theories and stops prescribing "medication." It's a tough situation. No one with Dr. Breggin's "maverick" opinions are available near me to help me get off medicines and away from psychiatry. And, it's been that way for more than half of my life. Sad.
I have a young friend I helped get rid of the voices in his head , get out of bed and walk in the sun shine . I got him to concentrate on eating more fatty meat , which went against his over weight condition . Now he is losing weight ,his brain is getting the fat that if you don’t know is the majority of what the brain is composed of . He has a situation that is like being in jail . If he stops taking the drugs they want him to take , they will make him homeless. When he gets to go out the town to eat with a clinic aide , he orders Kabobs and he gorges on it and is happy for days . So sad , it is a war to keep him alive , he is now recluse again . He is a cash cow to them . But a true friend to me .
I'm glad you treat him like a human being with a heart and a soul and the right to dignity and respect, and not just a bundle of chemicals or a biological specimen. Friendship is more important than medicine.
I managed to get off the psych drugs, but a lot of damage is irreversible. Too old to start life over. I have chronic autoimmune disease as well as nerve damage and sometimes wind up bedfast for a day or two. My constant anger and bitterness makes the inflammation worse. Life has played a cruel joke and the masses gladly embraced the lies. I'm FURIOUS at them as well as the shrinks. :(
Hubby and I have O.A. (fingers, his: back, knee) that diet helps, hardly eat bread or pastries. Avid cakes, pies. yes to small servings of starchy foods (pasta dishes) potatoes.
I'm a Christian and keep trying to forgive. It's my faith that keeps me from offing myself. Just upset with how my life has turned out and I know it won't get better till the End. Even if the world weren't so crazy my life would be ruined. Nothing to hope for or be happy about. Nothing to give my life meaning or joy.
What helps me is that I discovered creative writing. I spend as much time now doing that as possible from day to day, and it lifts my spirits and gives my life meaning and purpose. I'm bitter and angry about a lot of things and people from my past too, but writing takes my mind off my problems and memories for a while, and transforms my inner life. Of course, it helps that I have a lot of free time since I'm on disability, even though financially that's not an ideal situation, but I use my disability to my advantage, or at least I use the free time it gives me. If you have some kind of talent, interest, gifts or a hobby that you enjoy doing, spending your time doing that can take your mind off your problems, no matter how bad they sometimes seem. I'm still trying to forgive people too, like you. Sometimes I "can," and sometimes I "can't." But maybe, like you, with Jesus' help, I will forgive everyone completely by the end of my life. You have to have faith that things will get better in the future, no matter how dark things seem sometimes, and even if you have to live with some problems for the rest of your life. That's just the "cross" God gives us to bear. I have to learn to carry mine more consistently every day, too. I will pray for you that you will find faith, hope and charity... and that I will too. Tim Bruner.
Yes: forgive -- but "don't forget": always remember how you got into that situation to begin with, so, learning from experience, you can be more wary and cautious in the future, and not keep letting people take advantage of you.
Cats are good companions for the chronically ill or elderly. They can tell when you are in pain and will spend long hours in bed beside to comfort you.
Most everyone pushing 80 plus has med issues, and some have pacemakers, taking several heart meds. Several I know suffer migraines and on a newer medication now.

Hi, Tim. I’m so sorry you are stuck in the evils of psychiatric sick care. Our son has been stuck also for eight years. What we have learned from others and our own experience is a Functional or Integrative Psychiatrist can help guide a person off of psych meds. Just google this type of psychiatrist to see if any are near you that you can consult with. Also, Anders Sorensen(he is a psycho therapist from Denmark, who also studied biology to best understand how the psychiatric drugs work in a persons body & brain) is about to come out with a book explaining this and how to carefully slowly taper. I listened to a talk he gave with Laura Delano(she is the founder of Inner Compass Initiative) in early October 2023. He had some new info about tapering psych meds we hadn’t heard before. I think it’s best to read, read, read as much as you can before attempting to come off of psych drugs so that you will best understand what to expect and understand why and what the withdrawal effects might be. Besides Dr. Breggin’s books, Peter Gotzsche also has a book on Psych Med tapering and withdrawal. I recommend reading these two books and also Anders Sorensen’s book when it comes out.
Oh, yes… what Skupe advised… an Orthomolecular doctor or Naturopathic doctor also.
Find an Orthomolecular Specialist or a Naturopathic Doctor (ND), all over the world. They treat with supplements and are very effective. Locating an Orthomolecular Doctor
Others have mentioned Niacin by Abram Hoffer, Andrew Saul and Harold Foster, 2nd edition 2022. Niacin is so good that Bill W who started AA, wanted to make Niacin the treatment and his board members wouldn't allow it. As with vitamin C, you would take as much as you need to get the job done. Sometimes conditions and people require more of it than others.
Aloha Skupe, I would like to add another book: THE VITAMIN CURE For Alcoholism- Abram Hoffer, MD, Ph.D, and Andrew W. Saul, PhD. www.basichealthpub.com.

Ginger here, Rob. "Why does it take so long for science to catch up?" You ask.
Because we are not seeing science at work-- what we are seeing is psychiatry as a means of control, of behavior, of initiative, of imagination, of socialization. Do some people become emotionally disturbed. Yes. Does 20th and 21st century psychiatry scientifically and humanely address the distress and help someone in that state? This latest paper documents 'no' at least as far as psychiatric drugs and diagnosis go. Some folks can be greatly helped by personal therapy and that is a different situation.
It is my belief that Dr. Breggin has been battling psychiatric prototypes for social control in this age of the Globalists for his entire lifetime.
Those who are seeking help for emotional distress should see Dr. Breggin's books.
Yeah. I understand the uppers had evil intent. But why did almost everyone go along with it? Were they blinded by their belief in absolute good, whether via religion or scientism? I am still perplexed why people still fall for this crap, as bad it's become!
It's sad that there were successful treatments in the past that used plant based psychedelics that got made illegal so that they can sell us things that destroy the spirit of humans instead of bringing them back to connect with life
I am not Christian, but I can understand why they call it satanic and those in purgatory are their servants. Why do they serve them? Because they have no real morals to stand up to evil deeds.
Ginger here-- COVID was the most intensive propaganda and bullying campaign ever done, and it continues to this day, as well as being carried over into the climate change manipulations.
I believe people were unable to stand up for a host of reasons, but chief among them was desperate fear.
A Welsh artist who goes by Aunty Psychiatry and has written for MIA has been e mailing me. She and I both reached that very conclusion.
The social engineering techniques used in this global psy opp were practiced on the "mentally ill" first. Cripple the subjects regularly, under the pretext of public health, get family members and friends to coerce them and call them selfish for not taking the "medication." Offer them free tiny apartments in areas the technocrats pick out. (HUD housing.) Offer them free food approved by the technocrats. (Food stamps.) Render them dependent. Cut off funds for things like getting married, missing out on medication, side income, etc. Voila. A prison/asylum without walls. We--the mental health consumers--were the prototypes.
After the Reset, the globalists plan on the general population being a lot poorer, dependent on state aid, living alone, and not having families. I believe that "mental health" was a blueprint for Agenda 230.
Psychiatry needs to be abolished. Its unreformable. The harm they have caused me and countless others. /Big pharma, universities,and the state are to be blame. There is no healthy outlet for descent or freedom of speech.
How many good and hard working people I've seen destroyed by these horrors, bankruptcies, illness, addictions pushed on them during their vulnerable time needing medical care. I'm so disgusted by these eugenicists but the shift is underway and this system is being upended out of their own atrophic self destruction that was inevitable.

Let me know if you are led and you can pray about it, if you want, if you’d like me to give names of two I’ve seen; the one I am seeing (via Telehealth from Georgia—I live in FL) has brought about the most hope and change over the last few months, just a lot of out of pocket cash! and I cannot work the shifts and hours like I did before 2021 (when all my issues came to a head)…
Anyways, yes, perhaps we can correspond via email first? My email is: caitlin910@gmail.com
I learning about the need for the heart to heal and about deliverance (need to figure out what some entryways are; the same pastor I heard about dr breggin through has some videos about it, and a list of questions and scripture… PTL, I can concentrate on words and not get nauseous, and don’t feel as fatigued!!!)…
Would love to speak to you more, I could go on (my brain is all of the place and hard for it to focus)… but maybe we could pray for each other, too. Let me know if you ever find that vid! I’ve appreciated survivingantidepressants.org, a group of people trying to get off of psychotropic meds.
I don't understand this article. Is the author stating that 80% of Danes have or will be taking drugs to help with mental illness over their lifetime?
Yes. That’s correct.
What a huge heart you have Dr. Breggin . My Lord. Imagine if everyone in your profession of health care had your heart?.. no autrocities would occur .. which really makes you think; without doctors to carry out Mengele instructions, pharmakia would not be the 3rd leading cause of death. Why are people suing big pharma companies? When it is the " dealer " that is the real criminal? Thinking out loud😁 .
Dr. Breggin, In my opinion, you are one of the most important physicians our country has been blessed to have, period. You have been calling out the dangers of psychiatric drugs for decades, with great courage and perseverance, writing life-changing books, testifying against Big Pharma, and doing many educational videos. Many millions of people and their families have had their lives utterly destroyed by the needless and reckless prescribing of neurotoxic psychotropic drugs. You have done amazing work teaching and educating others about how dangerous these medications are, and have saved more people than you will every know. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
The Veterans Administration is a major buyer and distributor of psychotropic medications, and I do not believe it’s very helpful for most veterans. A few decades ago, after complaining of a few common issues related to autism I wanted to try to overcome with perhaps counseling and maybe diet change, which I never complained about or needed medication for in the past, such as over-sensory perceptions that will cause nausea and headaches, like strong orders and bright artificial lights in department stores or mall, passing by candle shops, walking down light fixture isles with whirling ceiling fans in conjunction with all the other orders from people’s perfume & cologne and all the extreme sounds and intercom noise, etc… I was put on Zoloft, then Paxil, then Luvox, then a couple others, one week after another, then gave up. Holy hell the side effects were maddening-terrifying. Honestly, if those meds create what’s supposed to be “normal,” I’d much rather be abnormal, forever.
Nearly everyone I know is now on some sort of "anxiety assistance." Last one was a friend who has been a health advocate all her life, but is now going through a tough time due to selling a property and downsizing. Her first appointment with a new primary care Dr resulted in a Lexapro script. Unbelievable.
It's the latest antidepressant craze and as dangerous as other SSRIs. Folks can see Dr. Breggin's book: Medication Madness for details of hazards and adverse reactions -- Ginger
Ashwagandha is a great supplement for anxiety and isn't harmful. Do some research.
Also I’ve heard about GABA…. Need to learn more, though…
Which diet are you on for anxiety?
I’ve done L-Theanine, to avoid anxiolytics in the past.
I’ve used ashwagandha, but staying away for now because i am on a specific diet (a certain diet itself can help a body) and need to avoid for a while.
Which special diet? I think doing a new diet for whatever you need is a great thing to do.
My doc has me on ~45% protein, ~45% vegetables (including starches like potatoes), 10% low-sugar fruits…. Includes good fats like nuts, seeds, use of coconut oil/avocado oil… no grains; no sugar, no rice… avoid peanuts, soy, pistachios, cashews, legumes, leafy greens…
Ideally grass-fed organic meats, wild-caught fish, pastured and organic eggs
Sounds pretty similar to my keto diet but I also eat some nuts and seeds but never soy since I learned about coconut aminos. Good luck with it!
Coconut aminos?
Awesome! Same here, with you! I know every body is different, as well, but learning about the importance of high quality proteins and fats! Yeah apparently soy has the highest contamination of pesticides than any other food and have a lot of estrogens…. I’ve not heard of coconut aminos!
So right. I am SO TIRED of hearing “I have anxiety.” So? Get control of yourself and deal with LIFE. Children today aren’t taught to do that because mommy and daddy take away all the barriers (if they are around at all with the divorce rate and then they are hunting for their new honey while Ignoring their child.)
IMHO, the downside to all of the wonderful conveniences and niceties we've enjoyed in recent decades is that most people have lost all ability to be the least bit uncomfortable. I know people who won't do any form of time restricted eating, because getting through the first hunger pang is too difficult. I once heard an interview about the characteristics of world-class athletes. The one trait they all shared was "the willingness to suffer." The ability to sit with discomfort, be it physical, emotional, or spiritual, is key to any real health or progress. [end rant, lol...]
Absolutely. I get the monthly magazine from Voice of the Martyrs which strikes me to my soul every time I read a story. We are ALL so friggin’ spoiled, pampered and lazy. None of us could last 15 minutes where the majority of African or SE Asians live. They live in fear for their and their families’ lives every single day. Buddhism, Hindus and Muslims hate Christians and persecute and kill them for their faith and make daily living a severe struggle.
It is hard on their friends when someone "takes a wrong turn." Just what is your friend up against with Lexapro? This is Lyle Murphy of the Alternative to Meds Center giving the ins-and-outs of Lexapro.

So, how does a person on psychiatric medication go about finding a psychiatrist or doctor who will be willing to guide a patient through the long, involved, difficult, delicate process of helping them withdraw from medication? The vast majority of physicians, probably all over the country, do not share Dr. Breggin's negative view of psychiatric medications. So, unless someone can afford to hop on a plane, fly to the part of the country where Dr.Breggin or a similar doctor practices, then set themselves up in a hotel or other long-term living accomodations there, to begin the process of being treated by him, or whatever similarly "non-biochemially-oriented psychiatrist" they can find...then that patient is pretty much stuck living wherever they're living and staying on their medications...since it's too dangerous to get off of them on your own. And most "mental patients" like myself (being on a combination of SSDI, SSI and Food Stamps) simply don't have the financial resources to make a trip like that...and if no one in your family is either in a financial position to pay for such a trip, nor, for that matter, would they even be willing to go along with such a plan even if they could (since, in my experience, I used to "catch all kinds of flack" from, not just my family, but from my doctor and other professionals, years ago when I "dared" to read Dr. Breggin's book Toxic Psychiatry)...so, most family members and medical professionals are not open to the suggestion of helping a person "withdraw" from psychiatric drugs, so...like I said: i'm, just, stuck, living where and how I'm living, for the time being...unless psychiatry ever changes its theories and stops prescribing "medication." It's a tough situation. No one with Dr. Breggin's "maverick" opinions are available near me to help me get off medicines and away from psychiatry. And, it's been that way for more than half of my life. Sad.
I have a young friend I helped get rid of the voices in his head , get out of bed and walk in the sun shine . I got him to concentrate on eating more fatty meat , which went against his over weight condition . Now he is losing weight ,his brain is getting the fat that if you don’t know is the majority of what the brain is composed of . He has a situation that is like being in jail . If he stops taking the drugs they want him to take , they will make him homeless. When he gets to go out the town to eat with a clinic aide , he orders Kabobs and he gorges on it and is happy for days . So sad , it is a war to keep him alive , he is now recluse again . He is a cash cow to them . But a true friend to me .
God bless you.
I'm glad you treat him like a human being with a heart and a soul and the right to dignity and respect, and not just a bundle of chemicals or a biological specimen. Friendship is more important than medicine.
I managed to get off the psych drugs, but a lot of damage is irreversible. Too old to start life over. I have chronic autoimmune disease as well as nerve damage and sometimes wind up bedfast for a day or two. My constant anger and bitterness makes the inflammation worse. Life has played a cruel joke and the masses gladly embraced the lies. I'm FURIOUS at them as well as the shrinks. :(
Try the carnivore diet for two weeks it can help with arthritis and mental disease plus the weight loss to normal
Hubby and I have O.A. (fingers, his: back, knee) that diet helps, hardly eat bread or pastries. Avid cakes, pies. yes to small servings of starchy foods (pasta dishes) potatoes.
I'm a Christian and keep trying to forgive. It's my faith that keeps me from offing myself. Just upset with how my life has turned out and I know it won't get better till the End. Even if the world weren't so crazy my life would be ruined. Nothing to hope for or be happy about. Nothing to give my life meaning or joy.
What helps me is that I discovered creative writing. I spend as much time now doing that as possible from day to day, and it lifts my spirits and gives my life meaning and purpose. I'm bitter and angry about a lot of things and people from my past too, but writing takes my mind off my problems and memories for a while, and transforms my inner life. Of course, it helps that I have a lot of free time since I'm on disability, even though financially that's not an ideal situation, but I use my disability to my advantage, or at least I use the free time it gives me. If you have some kind of talent, interest, gifts or a hobby that you enjoy doing, spending your time doing that can take your mind off your problems, no matter how bad they sometimes seem. I'm still trying to forgive people too, like you. Sometimes I "can," and sometimes I "can't." But maybe, like you, with Jesus' help, I will forgive everyone completely by the end of my life. You have to have faith that things will get better in the future, no matter how dark things seem sometimes, and even if you have to live with some problems for the rest of your life. That's just the "cross" God gives us to bear. I have to learn to carry mine more consistently every day, too. I will pray for you that you will find faith, hope and charity... and that I will too. Tim Bruner.
I learned decades ago, to forgive and move on, this doesn't mean tho' they deserve your trust or friendship (depends on situation).
Yes: forgive -- but "don't forget": always remember how you got into that situation to begin with, so, learning from experience, you can be more wary and cautious in the future, and not keep letting people take advantage of you.
"The world isn't worthy. It's dead already." Truth!
Cats are good companions for the chronically ill or elderly. They can tell when you are in pain and will spend long hours in bed beside to comfort you.
Most everyone pushing 80 plus has med issues, and some have pacemakers, taking several heart meds. Several I know suffer migraines and on a newer medication now.
Hi, Tim. I’m so sorry you are stuck in the evils of psychiatric sick care. Our son has been stuck also for eight years. What we have learned from others and our own experience is a Functional or Integrative Psychiatrist can help guide a person off of psych meds. Just google this type of psychiatrist to see if any are near you that you can consult with. Also, Anders Sorensen(he is a psycho therapist from Denmark, who also studied biology to best understand how the psychiatric drugs work in a persons body & brain) is about to come out with a book explaining this and how to carefully slowly taper. I listened to a talk he gave with Laura Delano(she is the founder of Inner Compass Initiative) in early October 2023. He had some new info about tapering psych meds we hadn’t heard before. I think it’s best to read, read, read as much as you can before attempting to come off of psych drugs so that you will best understand what to expect and understand why and what the withdrawal effects might be. Besides Dr. Breggin’s books, Peter Gotzsche also has a book on Psych Med tapering and withdrawal. I recommend reading these two books and also Anders Sorensen’s book when it comes out.
Oh, yes… what Skupe advised… an Orthomolecular doctor or Naturopathic doctor also.
Thanks for the advice. I'll look into it.
Find an Orthomolecular Specialist or a Naturopathic Doctor (ND), all over the world. They treat with supplements and are very effective. Locating an Orthomolecular Doctor
If you need to locate a physician near you that uses orthomolecular (nutritional) medicine, you may wish to first try an internet search. Many practitioners have websites. Additional thoughts and cautions on obtaining a natural healing doctor will be found at http://www.doctoryourself.com/subcontractor.html and at http://www.doctoryourself.com/naturedoc.html
The American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) physician search tool will be found at http://www.naturopathic.org/
The www.orthomolecular.org website also has a self-service practitioner listing at http://orthomolecular.org/resources/pract.shtml and a partial listing of orthomolecular practitioners or treatment centers at http://www.orthomolecular.org/resources/centers.shtml
Telemed visits after the initial in person. Then yearly?
Make a vacation out of the trip! 😊
Think positively!
Others have mentioned Niacin by Abram Hoffer, Andrew Saul and Harold Foster, 2nd edition 2022. Niacin is so good that Bill W who started AA, wanted to make Niacin the treatment and his board members wouldn't allow it. As with vitamin C, you would take as much as you need to get the job done. Sometimes conditions and people require more of it than others.
Aloha Skupe, I would like to add another book: THE VITAMIN CURE For Alcoholism- Abram Hoffer, MD, Ph.D, and Andrew W. Saul, PhD. www.basichealthpub.com.
Also, THE VITAMIN CURE For Depression: Bo H. Jonsson, MD, PhD, and Andrew W. Saul, PhD.
Thanks. I know of both of them and forgot to mention them.
You’re welcome, sharing is caring….
:0)
Thanks.
About the same here , except living in my car .. all I need is some withdrawals
Thank you.
It's crazy that we knew from studies a while ago that serotonin is not what makes you happy and the SSRIs don't work.
Benzos are dangerous too, ask Jordan Peterson, who snuck away to Russia to get rehab for his addiction and issues.
We also know that statin drugs, which they push on everyone are also damaging, especially to the liver.
Meanwhile, cannabis and other helpful anti depressives were illegal for a long time.
Why does it take so long for science to catch up?
Follow the money which funds the research which is done by "drones" that don't think for themselves (probably because they're on SSRIs or benzos).
Ginger here, Rob. "Why does it take so long for science to catch up?" You ask.
Because we are not seeing science at work-- what we are seeing is psychiatry as a means of control, of behavior, of initiative, of imagination, of socialization. Do some people become emotionally disturbed. Yes. Does 20th and 21st century psychiatry scientifically and humanely address the distress and help someone in that state? This latest paper documents 'no' at least as far as psychiatric drugs and diagnosis go. Some folks can be greatly helped by personal therapy and that is a different situation.
It is my belief that Dr. Breggin has been battling psychiatric prototypes for social control in this age of the Globalists for his entire lifetime.
Those who are seeking help for emotional distress should see Dr. Breggin's books.
Absolutely !
Yeah. I understand the uppers had evil intent. But why did almost everyone go along with it? Were they blinded by their belief in absolute good, whether via religion or scientism? I am still perplexed why people still fall for this crap, as bad it's become!
It's sad that there were successful treatments in the past that used plant based psychedelics that got made illegal so that they can sell us things that destroy the spirit of humans instead of bringing them back to connect with life
I am not Christian, but I can understand why they call it satanic and those in purgatory are their servants. Why do they serve them? Because they have no real morals to stand up to evil deeds.
Ginger here-- COVID was the most intensive propaganda and bullying campaign ever done, and it continues to this day, as well as being carried over into the climate change manipulations.
I believe people were unable to stand up for a host of reasons, but chief among them was desperate fear.
A Welsh artist who goes by Aunty Psychiatry and has written for MIA has been e mailing me. She and I both reached that very conclusion.
The social engineering techniques used in this global psy opp were practiced on the "mentally ill" first. Cripple the subjects regularly, under the pretext of public health, get family members and friends to coerce them and call them selfish for not taking the "medication." Offer them free tiny apartments in areas the technocrats pick out. (HUD housing.) Offer them free food approved by the technocrats. (Food stamps.) Render them dependent. Cut off funds for things like getting married, missing out on medication, side income, etc. Voila. A prison/asylum without walls. We--the mental health consumers--were the prototypes.
Because there is no money in curing people .
After the Reset, the globalists plan on the general population being a lot poorer, dependent on state aid, living alone, and not having families. I believe that "mental health" was a blueprint for Agenda 230.
AMEN!!!
Is there a greater goal other than money?
Is this what has made society into crazed covid zealots ready to do anything the govt says?
I feel like we're living in Huxley's dark dystopia.
The goal is ALWAYS money
Thank you for all you keep doing!💖
WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT BY JESUS CHRIST THE WORLD EMBRACE SATAN
Psychiatry needs to be abolished. Its unreformable. The harm they have caused me and countless others. /Big pharma, universities,and the state are to be blame. There is no healthy outlet for descent or freedom of speech.
* dissent (not 'descent')
How many good and hard working people I've seen destroyed by these horrors, bankruptcies, illness, addictions pushed on them during their vulnerable time needing medical care. I'm so disgusted by these eugenicists but the shift is underway and this system is being upended out of their own atrophic self destruction that was inevitable.
Thank you for standing on the side of truth always and bringing wisdom and health to thousands of people through your research, advocacy and books.
