I share much of the sentiments here , but medications do help some people ; as for the way it's prescribed without proper support , that's a problem ; and as for existing alternatives (currently "recreational") , I agree . But otherwise what would you suggest? Not prescribing? What should we do when it comes to psychosis? I have noticed that when there's a team of attentive doctors surrounding the patient things are much better , AP or not.
If one is thrown a prescription and left to fend for themselves with no follow ups or meds to help symptoms -- that is just terrible (been there).
Psychiatrists are nothing but grease monkeys fixing a carburetor as cheaply as possible for the bottom line of the insurance company , no one should expect more of them . That's
not meant as an insult btw . And that has to be changed rather than the medication .
Does your dermatologist explain to you about that rash and the corticosteroids ? No . Why would you expect otherwise from a psychiatrist . It's the same .
You're given the 'cream' to put on your 'rash' and that's it , have a nice weekend .
By the way , you're the bloody carburetor . ;)
* correction , they're much worse , because they don't know how the car works , nor do they care
Your lucky you had no life changing side effects from risperidone, that's the excuse the care coordinator said to me, some people have side effects and other don't but not to mention there is a possibility of getting side effects and certainly nothing about life changing side effects is incompetent, your lucky you have somewhere to live but what the marvelous Margaret Thacher done for the UK by closing down all the mental health hospitals and selling the land for the conservative coffers and never replaced them with new updated hospitals, her excuse was we will care for them in the community, read the article below yep that's the sad facts.
Homelessness is an increasing issue within the UK. Evidence shows that there is a considerable link between homelessness and mental health problems; however, this link is often overlooked.
