• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Had nothing but problems with medications for 6 years. Now that I am trying to get off the medication it's even harder then taking them was. Why does it work like this? Why does it seem to me that all psychiatry turned out to be is a means to control, disable and eliminate people?

There are some licensed doctors or health professionals that with testing they can help detox, and the hoped for results are you feel better in a few days than you have for possibly years, and you can know why too !

The problem with any medicines, our bodies will adapt to it which will unfortunately attenuate its positive effects.

Then when you remove the medicine, the body's adaptations to the medicine would have changed the body's chemistry that can result to negative symptoms.

More can be done via lifestyle and dietary changes. SADLY, the established system is making very little investment in that path of treating illnesses including cancer. Probably because their profits are going to crash 100x or more compared to their profits with synthetic drugs.
