This man is talking so much sense and truth everything he says is relatable and I am speaking as a mom who lost her beautiful son to this terrible sundrome people need to start listening to him my son was 31 and no history of taking any medication
Thank you for talking about this!
It doesn't seem that doctor Igor Galynker is aware of the real, population level scop of psychiatric drug induced suicide, as it doesn't seem that he considers it a serious risk factor in his "Suicide Crisis Syndrome". He does seem to consider the side effects and withdrawal effects of psychiatric drugs a real phenomenon and so use medication with care treating his patients. However, this still misses the point to address the elephant in the room and consider psychiatric drugs by themeselves, a risk factor.
He did admit that the current practice in the DSM for diagnosing suicidal folks as "depressed" or some other "mental illness" and putting them on long-term ADs/SSRIs - is harmful - and that most can be supported w/ a very short (few days) intervention of medication. This is still a win, even if we didn't get much in the way of the psychiatric medications and their withdrawal syndromes being the cause of many suicides as well. Having the conversations is important - now it's at least more on his radar as well. His book has a small chapter on drug withdrawal and suicide and does mention benzodiazepines, but I agree - there could be way more added!
@@MedicatingNormal yes indeed! It wasn't my intention to discredit the work of doctor Galynker, he seems really dedicated to it. Thanks for the interviews and for introducing the debate within the medical community.
The good doctor has always stated he has to weigh up the risks. People who are going to kill themselves cannot comprehend therapy and other forms of help - they urgently need these drug treatments. I know. If a people wishes this help short term, there is a withdrawal plan that is safe and slow, which will not induce mental anguish = suicide. No use losing lives to suicide due to the fear of the drug side effects. Priority here is keeping them alive in a crises. Period. And the good doctor is prescribing the right treatment in this severe risk group. We are not talking about a hard phase in life or an unpleasant life situation - but those who are ready to take their lives at any moment. Those in despair. They won’t be around to worry about withdrawal - psychiatrists have to act fast. Then set up a withdrawal plan when the patient is out of crises - when they are ready. Slow and steady with medical support.
The way feel is terrifying it doesn’t stop I’m 68 and a caregiver 😢
IT SURE IS TERRIFYING , I PRAY YOU GET HELP WITH YOUR CARE GIVING
Low income seniors get the bottom of the barrel when it comes to "help." That's if you can find anyone to treat you that will take Medicare!
Thank you for this ❤️
Suicides are on the rise because we live in a world not designed for any animal. Our diet is also crap.
Nutrient deficienties...
We are with to many people, packed up like sardines in a box.
High tech, computers, phones, porno, the way we live.
We are trapped in a world full of bullshite and we are all in risk.
Losing everything we need to make life worth living.
But when a drug can put you on edge, alcohol, drggs, medication also, wrong food.
I feel more and more disconected with high tech and computers.
It is a hell of an invention to be honest.
I am addicted to my phone.
I miss my past. My past with my parents. Life was different in many ways.
I dwell at the precipice over systemic failure to offer me help with R.S.D. pain overwelm . In plain view I am losing my life .
This doctor does not know what is even happening worldwide the last 4 years or so...
We are murdered, but yea...knowing we are murdered step by step and knowing this also causes suicides.
I am also very vulnerable and all the past years and the years of stress that causes suicidal thoughts.
My most beautiful dog died recently in a way i can not even digest and again vets cause more harm than good. Why? Because dogs have to go...
It is global.
My dog did not deserve to go like that.
Humans are horrible, so my dog died in the hands of humans.
I will never forget. Not forgive.
It was the last straw i lost.
Life is horrible.
All meds psychiatrists and doctors prescribe cause a lot of health issues and suicides too.
I took only 1 pill of an anti- depressant, which was in reality an anti- psychoric. It was horrible. Only 1 pill took me to a hell of a ride for 1 year and still recovering from that pill 4 years later. Go figure.
Psychiatry of death.
That is what i call this mega industry.
Advice i have been a Work Cover Client for 20 years i suffered a Workplace Mental Illness Injury. I have been rejected denied mental health treatment admission for psychiatric hospital care. My illness is Chronic Depression Anxiety Adjustment Disorder Suicidal Tendencies Vomiting Episodes.
Every time I need admission for mental care I have had to wait days for approvals and then admission. This has been a very long abusive treatment. Administration staff are making medical decisions and reporting reason for denial. Totally unacceptable reasons but part of there corruption. How can I get treatment from them from a doctor to stop this abuse. I am broken down completely I have been in flight fight mode for 2 weeks now and I am scared .
Thank you
Is this. bad recording? The lady seems to have a growl in her voice, must be my connection. This man should be on every TV channel around the world he can save so many people.
it's called vocal fry - I apologize - my psychiatric drug injury affects my voice
@@MedicatingNormal Oh, never heard of that. I hope your injury heals soon:) Take care of yourself and everyone around you. I lost my sister in March; my mum and I will never recover. If only I could turn the clocks back with more knowledge.
Can he be contacted as a possible patient ?
Thank you for the work you do Dr Galynker. With all due respect I don't agree that the syndrome you have defined is a temporary condition.
The only reason it can be called temporary, is because so many people end up taking their lives. It’s temporary for them.
Hi there I’m Cody campbell please look up Zander campbell obituary I would love to talk with Igor perhaps our two missions could work together or perhaps we could help his research ?!
I have such mixed feelings on this one, Nicole.
It doesn't seem that doctor Igor Galynker is aware of the real, population level scop of psychiatric drug induced suicide, as it doesn't seem that he considers it a serious risk factor in his "Suicide Crisis Syndrome".

Agreed.
However, it did appear that Nicole tried redirecting the conversation to address that elephant. But, yeah, that was one whopping elephant for all the viewers, ha.

Nicole did he say clonazapam or did he say clonapin causes higher glucose he has a heavy accent I didn’t get that part.
I'm kind of confused how a) the suicidal crisis syndrome typically lasts for hours and b) one of the symptoms is "social withdrawal." Isn't it normal to be alone for a few hours? Is this explained at all in the book?
The book is really long and definitely contains a level of detail that couldn't be covered thoroughly in an hour-long interview. I think there are other interviews w/ Dr. Galynker too, in the event one of them answers more for you.
Maybe this one explains more? th-cam.com/video/yL24MCsCn78/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CSsks6bJ_COIb-ZK
Suicidal urges can last for days, weeks and months.
I have experienced this for so long, along with a feeling of hopelessness… As I’ve only recently discovered the affects and withdrawals of Benzo’s, and other psych meds (including Suboxone) which I take, I now understand why my anti depressants don’t work any longer. It’s been the Valium that’s made me more depressed than I’ve even been in my life (and I have been that way since age 7).
It’s only by the Grace of God that I’m still here.
I love these videos but that intro music kills me 🙄Can we do without it please?
Thanks for the feedback!
The hostess needs to improve her tone of voice. It is mostly mono tone. Horrible
What is horrible are rude people who sit behind their keyboards and bully others who are simply trying to help other people.
You need to improve your manners Sir.
Nicole is in recovery. I am deeply grateful to all that she does.
