- Millions of people worldwide are physically dependent on commonly prescribed psychiatric drugs. While these drugs can provide effective short-term relief, pharmaceutical companies have hidden from both doctors and patients their dangerous side effects, addictive nature and long-term harm.

11:23 This is why Americans, including me, mistrust all medical professionals any more.
they are nothing more than drug peddlers.
Wrong…there is zero trust…it’s not mistrust…it’s zero trust…
🚨⚠️ There was a study across the US between ‘80-‘82 to why the students chose med school over other career paths. ⭐️Results: 80% for money & 20% to help people. My aunt was apart of that study & it was never resealed to the public. Just terrible.
@@FLBeautyQueen I was working at the Minnesota House of Representatives at that time and it was reported in the newspaper. The House was working on a state health care plan and I showed it to one of the representatives I knew well.
@@FLBeautyQueen, That's the ones they accept into their schools, the sociopaths. That's what the testing for entry is all about. Big Pharma wants a ruthless sales force.
Today's doctor's are little more than salespersons for big pharma.
Agreed
I'd also save some blame for Congress and the deregulation that began in the 1980s.
Facts🥰
In the USA yes but not in all first-world countries
Surgeons are the real doctors and some internists… so true though
This is why you should be well educated about your health conditions and unless an immediate life threatening issue research a drug before you take it. I have learned as much as possible about my health conditions and medications. You have to be your own advocate.
We go to a doctor for their care and expertise, and now have to protect ourselves from them??? Maybe it's time to take our care into our own hands. Mother Nature has always held the answers. We need to research that.
@@edie4321 that's correct. I started questioning their "expertise" about 8 years ago when I was having a history taken and the PA looks at me dumbfounded and asked with a very serious look on his face he asks what is SVT, I got up and left. He was completely unqualified. He was trying to write depakote as a mood stabilizer. I already take 1700 mg bid of keppera an anticonvulsant that is a dervitave of depakote. He got visibly angry when I brought this up.
@@edie4321 research some nuts
Finally a decent documentary.
The amount of anti-psychotic drugs my wife is forced to take is mind blowing. After taking them for 20 years she's almost completely incapacitated. Her psychiatrist is a pill pushing monster, in bed with big pharma. It's absolutely horrible what they've done to her. 😞
Wean her off. They are making her sick, And lose her mind😢
Yeah it's Johnson & Johnson thing cuz they always push that drug called... Risoereol
. Was in a very abusive relationship for years and years and had suicide attempts I've been out of it for 2 years and now I'm suffering because they turned my phone off just for trying to get some of my son's stuff back even though it was all thrown out and sold that's al theyI had to say... I still feel like I'm cursed and kind of you know.,.
So anyway I've been in just like hospitals and they love to prescribe people that.
it's been on daytime TV to Sue and it's been taken off the market but a lot of doctors were purposely giving it to elderly people for a kickback even though it says on the Black Box warning to not and it turns basically everybody into a zombie
🫂 I'm so sorry about your wife. Truly I am. She's not likely open to "Natural Healing" if she's in DEEP but, that's what saved my life from CERTAIN and NEAR death. I'm TRULY and DEEPLY sorry. I was very heavily medicated on extreme pain meds and also Methadone and Trazadone over time along with NUMEROUS other meds and counseling over 20 years before I got off the meds at "home". (Can't call my house "home" living with a PSYCHO Covert Narcissist. I PRAY that you get your wife back. It took me 20 years of hellish meds to choose to get free myself. NO CLINICS! I hope the very best for you BOTH
@SMAJAL they had me taking narcotics 11 pills a day...then they added a fenteyl every 3 days...first it was 25mcg...after a month it was 50mcg...then 75mcg...SOFA COMA...MY HEART WAS SLOWING DOWN TO ALMOST NOTHING...GOD SAID I CAN COME HOME OR STAY BUT NO DRUGS. ER 3 times cold turkey...that was year 3. I don't recommend cold turkey. But get her off the drugs...cut back or something...TALK TO a different DOCTOR FOR 2nd opinion. You and her have to figure it out...hard to help someone who doesn't see a problem. God bless you 🙏 ❤️
18:56 Mental health professionals NEVER recognize grief.
Back in 1992, had something happen that never happened before. I was told it was a panic attack. I never took drugs before, no pharmaceuticals. I trusted doctors and believed in their ability when prescribing, that they forwarned me. They put me on benzodiazepines but never said the dangers, never told me they were short term only and highly addictive. Now over 30 years, if I don't take them I go through severe seizure withdrawals that are horrendous. I wish I was warned. Wish I never was on this stuff. What doctors failed to do was check for anything else like checking my thyroid which mimics panic disorders. I ended up finding out that was my problem all along after getting dignosed and they run in my family.
I hate being addicted to something I didn't need and the fault of doctors not disclosing to me what that drug did.
I'm so sorry. We deserve restitution. This happened to my family, too. We deserve the cures and restitution. I do believe the cures are coming. Big Pharma medicine has been blocking over 6000 cures. My son is in your situation, and I must believe there's a way out. I left all medications using kratom seven + years ago, and I'm still nonfunctional.
I took Klonopin for a long time. I thought it was helping me to get to sleep.
Then I took a sleep study and I took all of my usual medications. I thought that the study would turn up nothing, because I thought that I had slept like a log.
When the results came back, I was horrified to see that I had actually been awake until 4 am, according to the alpha brain waves that were shown on the study.
Years later, I learned that Klonopin is an amnesiac, meaning that you forget whatever is happening. I hadn't slept much at all that night, but Klonopin made me forget it after I woke up.
No wonder I used to wake up every morning and feel like I hadn't slept at all.
Did you come off it?
Damn. I sorry you had to go through that and I'm glad you found out. Why did you decide to partake in the study?
@@captainpugwash7174 Yes, and easily. (Not that I want to deny that others had a much different experience.)
@@browniebun Because I was still waking up without any rest and I was tired all day. There was clearly something wrong with my sleep.
I think compared to some people you got away light these meds destroyed my life.❤
It's almost like many of these drugs are designed to make more symptoms so they describe more kinds of drugs to those symptoms, a endless cycle.
Yep
Wonder how many of these depressed people are low in vitamin D? Docs put me on one after another antidepressant which I was desperate enough to try. NONE worked. Decades later and after a Godly prayer, I got on vitamin D. THAT took the depression 100% The fatigue went with it and it felt as if my body started recovering. Went from bedridden 21-23 hours a day to doing martial arts. Quit for a while since my doc told me my levels were too high and after one month I was down again which lead to a long HUGE stress induced period. Im back on now and feel great!
Vitamin levels certainly need to be looked at before prescribing medicine.
I’m so far gone that I wish I could cry.I can’t even cry anymore.There is simply nothing…total emptiness

This breaks my heart. Cry out to Jesus❤
was it sertraline? (Zoloft, or lustral here in uk) I have felt emotionally blunted since coming off it many many years ago
Same here
I’m a spiritual person. I used our creator to help me through these difficult Inner- standings and I did make it back home.
Dave does feel and empathize. He reached out and touched his fellow veteran to comfort her.
I'm currently deprescribing from unnecessary medications. When I get there I'm going to make a series of videos on how to do it with the types of medications I've been wantonly prescribed over the years. If I make the share price of just one of these pharmaceutical companies fall by just a penny, I've done my job.
Great idea
I went to this doctor once because I was having problems with my heart racing and not kicking back into rhythm everyday. It made me nervous and worried which probably made the condition worse. The doctor put me on Zoloft, Paxil, and Xanax. I took it once then trashed it never to take it again. It's crazy to me how I probably had a temporary heart or nervous system condition but was being treated like there was something wrong with my mind.
the number of doctors who take physical symptoms that are understandably distressing to the patient as a mental health problem is sickening. I have been on 5+ psychiatric medications before I got diagnosed with hEDS and POTS. of course I was "depressed." I was in horrible chronic pain!
How about hiking, yoga, meditation, clean natural environment and foods, exercise- enjoyment
And talking to a therapist. Very important. No pills just talking it through.
Not everyone gets enjoyment from doing those things. I enjoy reading and puzzles and scrapbooking
I feel so much healthier both mentally and physically since I stopped taking meds They can be helpful, but then they are used as an only solution and things go downhill after that.
Akathisia is one of the worst experience ,almost always ends in self inflicted death. Doctors have know about Akathisia since 1949..
Excellent video. The message in this video is true. Dupont used to have a catch phrase: Better living through chemistry. That’s the mindset in modern psychiatry. That, and that you have something wrong that needs fixed. Some of us know that we have problems with mood swings or freak outs when we are around too many people or some other problem that makes our life more complicated. Instead of “fixing” it, we adapt to it. We learn to live with it. Good on ya, all of y’all!
Yes you would love " dark history" they do one on Dupont
The reason doctors become doctors are so they can afford things they want.
It depends were you live, the US yes but my in my country the pharmaceutical industry isn’t like the US drugs cost $30 not $3000
@@LittleRayofSunshine69750Was talking about mistrusting doctors - not the cost of pharmaceutical drugs!
@@christinakuczora4862 sorry misread again though a doctor where I live makes 300k and in the US would make 1.5 mill
Benzos are short term only. Use if you have an anxiety or panic attack. On days you are fine you don't take them.
In my country they are prescribed in small amounts for the short term as PRN medications.
They are also prescribed for epileptic patients here in Denmark
Better to learn how-to manage the panic/anxiety yourself. A good therapist combined with self knowledge and the mechanism that cause flight or fight is a much more productive way than any pill.
This is what I do.....but use to take every night
The old saying “The dose is the poison” applies here too. Benzos are meant for short term use. These people have been on daily, in increasing dosages for YEARS. One well-known and very vocal anti-Benzo activist was (is) a physician’s assistant. I find it incredible that she never bothered to look up side effects from all the drugs she ended up being on before she started de-prescribing. And how they like to say “I am not an addict. I am physically dependent.”
yep! when I had dangerous breakdowns my psychiatrist prescribed clonazepam but ONLY for use during those episodes. I never took it on a daily basis; it was an emergency medication.
Healthcare shouldn't be in private hands, not a business
when I broke my leg I told the doctor it actually didn't hurt that bad, don't give me an opiate. He said that not experiencing pain was a part of healing...even though my natural impulse is to ignore pain anyhow. When I got to the pharmacy sure enough he had given me a Hydrocodone prescription which I never took. He betrayed my request and trust on a fundamental level. Great documentary, beautifully told.
My brother had a huge surgery a few weeks back they gave him 2 different kinds of opioids. He only took 1 of each when he really needed to cause of the pain, but they prescribe them so easily its ridiculous.
Did you fill it?
@@GirlJay67 yeah i did but didn't take them.
@@xrstopherpopp120 what did you do with them?
I live with chronic pain every day and I can't even function and I never get any pain relief. it's been 2 years. I can barely take care of myself. campaigns like this take away meds from people who need them too. it's all or nothing with these doctors
After many years struggling, I went to see my doctor who is 50+ years old...
I told him these problems, and that i had seen more than 15 documentaries and read up about it online for the past 4 years... He instantly told me I shouldn't believe anything on the internet and the documentaries, and I should just do as he would tell me instead.
He came forward so super aggressive against me, as if I self-diagnosed and told him how to do his job.
WHAT THE HELL... this is because he didn't grow up with the internet because he is a 60/70s child..
- That made me want to get a new doctor.
Hey I was born in 77 and I wish I had the internet growing up.
But I got to see both sides of life. Before the internet the Doctor's would say don't believe everything you read. So still similar BS.
But you should change your doctor!
You should like your doctor ❤
I hope you did get a new doctor.
Thank you so much 🙌. I really needed this insight and honesty❗️❗️❗️
56:08 can’t help but feel sorry for the guy when struggling through these mental issues and not having the understanding from wife and family by being called abusive and her bringing up horrible things of what he’s been through kind of making her out to be the victim more than he is. And I do understand she went through hardships with it but I can’t see how bringing it up to him constantly will make him get better or feel better, it just makes it worse for him because he knows he caused his wife pain and can’t help it as easily or stop it as a healthy person due to his mental health issues.
Stuff is def overprescribed.. but as someone with BPD.. I finally feel like I’m able to live an enjoyable life with my meds. It’s so rough to know so many are negatively impacted
Thank you! I have learned so much about theses drugs. I suffer from depression and am doing this without medication. It was the best decision I’ve made for me
So sorry you all had to go through this abuse
Magnesium?
pharmaceutical companies prioritizing money over human life, it isnt even suprising
Ativan? I’ve been taking this for 25 years no health problems from it. My mom took it for 30 years. We have no choice without it. We don’t sleep and we have constant anxiety and panic attack so I am grateful. Sorry to hear of your bad experience I’ve never seen that many medication’s in one person’s life wow my doctors have always been anti medication as much as possible.
Ativan was causing my mom to have psychotic episodes. It's a dangerous drug
Shattered my hand, fractured my wrist and another finger. Guess what they offered me as painkillers? Ibuprofwn.
Yep and it's because of the opioid crisis that patients are left in pain with medications that for example I can't use NSAIDs due to my asthma and GI issues they cause even with short term use. It hurts to be left in pain as you feel dejected and abandoned
AAlways great documentaries❤🎉👍
I have been on several of these medications. This is now how my brain works. I constantly think something bad is going to happen. I have the most normal life right now. I didn’t always not as a child so I was put on many of these medications at different times in my life. Now that I have done the therapy I can’t think normal thoughts. My therapist tells me “you are the most aware patient I have” so why can’t I leave these thoughts in the past?
I get it. I change my thoughts when I recognize where it is going. The hardest part for me is my food thoughts. Changing my brain for that is so hard, cause my body tells my brain something.
Conheci esse canal semana passada, e me surpreendeu, muito bom.

I was put on an SSRI and benzo at 15. I have been off of benzos for 8 years and SSRIs for over 6 months. I am so muxh better off. K take CBD for anxiety now, and not everyday. Its so freeing to be off these meds. I noticed while getting off the SSRIs, the side effects are similar to opiate withdraw, plus these weird "brain zaps", which is how its described. No doctor or psych has told us this information and how hard it is to get off. Prayers to everyone, you can get off of these drugs if you want to. I forgot who i was before the drugs. Im reconnecting to myself again.
Just look at all these beautifull people damaged and prayed apon by money a grabing industry. Glad I do not live in the USA but seing the growth of BIG pharma in my own county. So sad.
I think a psychiatrist should see the patient's parents before the diagnosis or prescription. The real problem is the lack of love or support from the parents. Pills won't fill that void. I took antidepressant for like a month, when I went to get a new prescription, the psychiatrist screamed at me that every medication would be too strong or too weak for me. I stoppped taking it, then. I think I rather feel my depression than risk the side effects of antidepressants.
I kind of agree with you. My wife's (the patient) parent's were the worst, it damaged here mentally and physically.
I wish doctors would be more sympathetic towards people with insomnia. You would think they could come up with something better than narcotics or drugs with awful side effects
The man who described the adhd medication making him emotionless and cognitively slow, wow. I experienced that on strattera. It fucked me up. Lost half of my hair. It either caused or covered up chronic medical issues that are still in the process of diagnosis.
I just fought for my life while on cymbalta. Raised dose caused me to be incredibly suicidal and gave me violent intrusive thoughts. Im tapering off currently. Its aweful....its alll aweful
After watching a ton of JRE, Andrew Huberman, Dr Rhonda Patrick etc I was very skeptical about taking medication but Lexapro and Wellbutrin changed my life for the better.
I've learned more from TH-cam about medications than from my Doctor
The scary part of big pharma is that they’ve hooked an entire generation of children on these drugs. My neighbour’s 17 year old has been on drugs since he was in grade three. He now is hooked on weed and mushrooms. I blame medical professionals.
It's actually about two generations now since prozac came out in the late 1980s.
@susanlovesjava4961 yes, I was started on prozac as a teen shortly after it came out and that led to a medication merry-go-round that I'm on to this day. I've recently resumed tapering my last drug and it finally feels like the end is in sight.
tbf weed and mushrooms are absolutely healing. the amount of difference they make with mental health conditions and pain is amazing. plus, with things like mushrooms, it helps permanently. you don't have to keep taking it. I am admittedly a conspiracy theorist that "big pharma" demonizes these natural drugs because it would put them out of business.
YES..

23:43 This reminds me of the John Steinbeck story The Pearl.
A Great American writer.
No one says don't use them. But when you use them every day, for years. You get what you get.
Silly games,silly prizes
I am not American but it seems like anyone could be a doctor as they are just salesman for big pharma. I have mental illness and I know that any of the benzo medications are short term ONLY. I won’t take it for more than 2 days straight.
It also seems they are medicating people who don’t have serious conditions like schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar etc. These medications have massive side effects I know as I have this condition.
Some people need phycologists not medication!
15-18 years ago I was in a bad relationship with a girl i had been with for 5+ years.
She was miserable alot to me, then amazing as well at times. I was nieav as i learned she was cheating on me. We broke uo several times, got back together several times.
Needless to say i started going to mental health therapy.
I was put on medication, then more medication and then more medication. The actual therapist was of absolutely ZERO help. She should not have been a therapist.
Needless to say nothing was helping, nothing between myself and my girlfriend was getting better.
I had found out she was cheating again and at one point found this guys car in front of her apartment. I smashed the ever living crap outta the car with a very large pipe wrench. Tried going on a high speed chance with yhe police, i woke up strapped to a chair, spit mask on in a suicide suit. I dont remember being at the police station, i don't remember being in a cop car, i dont remember the paramedics coming to check me out, i don't remember being driven from tge police department to the jail, i dont remember how i got out of my clothes into the chair i was strapped to.
I do remember 3 weeks later after i was bailed out of jail putting my street clothes on i was wearing that night. It was my work clothes. Let me tell ya the pepper spray i didn't remember the coos using was still on my street clothes because my skin was instantly on fire. Adivan is one hell of a power drug that i should have never been prescribed because i was with a slut!
Devil's drug.
Yep Xanax
Nah Meth

Hello, Romer
So i was prescribed vyvznse for adhd from the same doctor prescribing me my suboxone as part of my addiction treatment. Of course me being an addict absolutely loved the feeling vyvanse gave me it worked out ok for a couple of years then i started full on abusing my adhd meds almost lost everything from it. Now going o 5 years without it and it took 2 years for me to stop obsessively thinking about that i need vyvanse to live my life it was awful. I should have never been given the drug with my past especially not given it from my addiction specialist doctor.
Vyvanse changed my life before it was on loads of drugs and unstable all the time. Been on it for 7+ years now and is best thing that happened to me totally lifted the brain fog I used to have I couldn't snap out of.
Why don't they just manufacture pills with, say, 3/4 potency, then 1/2 potency, etc., instead of making patients chop up the pills? I guess pharma won't want to see their profits diminish, as patients get off the drugs gradually with less potent pills.
they don't want people off them, they want lifelong customers.
My mother is a prime example, she takes lorazepam, lexapro, something else, a bunch of panadol to deal with the headaches she gets from the others, and a bottle of wine a day.
She thinks it all helps her be normal, imagine what normal would be like to a person like that..
They do have lower doses of the medication.
Those doses wouldn't be gradual enough for many people.
Lord help us....
Yep I'm screwed too because I take clonazepam for epilepsy & two other medicines for it to. and while my dose has been lowered I'm never going to be able to get off.
I used to take bascopa,or disclofenac whenever i had periods pains
Since i saw a clip of the effects of long term taking of the drugs i stopped
Nowadays i manage my periods by taking too much wtaer and sleeping while facing down ❤❤
Dear God help me 😰🙏?! What have my doctors done to me!
I am relating to these stories and all the meds I’ve been on for years!!!
@michelletlictra9105
These meds were never ever meant to be used in the long term sense, Unfortunately, your doctor sviljew as so many others have

Normalising the intake of some pill is the same as taking some drug. Initial Resistance is essential.
Abilafy made me a diabetic. I wish I never took that stuff. My blood work before that I was not even a borderline diabetic. Medication can totally ruin people's lives I know all about it. Before that I was in a psychiatric ward and they just drugged me up. I remember coming over to my primary nurse at the tume talking about what was going on and that it was not normal for me. I would be told things like it is just stress or it is because you are getting older. Meanwhile at the time I was only 24. They did not once tell me the side affects of what I was taking. It us a horrible place to be. If I was never in there none of this damage to me would ever have happened.
Are these side effects reversible once you're off these meds?
Not for me and for many others
Yes I am so sick.
They alter your brain chemistry and sometime forever the damage remains
Please look at the foster children being over medicated every day to control behavior. What is the correlation between funding and diagnosis of these YOUNG developing brains? Five year olds don’t need Prozac, but they are administering that and so much more.
Very interesting that you cant hold generics accountable. Is that the reason for this recent push for people to take generics?
42:52 "What am *I* going to do?"

Im trying to get off antidepressants given to me for pain, instead he tried given me more, and I said no, wing me off, he referred me to a damn phycholgist. 😂 I was better off suffering from back pain, and now nuropathy from their drugs.They trying to destroy our brain and nervious system. 😢
There seem to be a deliberate disconnect between therapists and practicing nurses prescribing pills I experience it and it is not right. Someone benefits at our cost. Body mind connection is simple if looked at whole as it should be.
I personally think it’s the pharmaceutical industry. We also need to address mental health care that includes talk therapy.
Post ssri sexual dysfunction due to antidepressants has destroyed many young lives.
What's missing here, is simply self examination with the help of a therapist. Working through the depression, anxiety, panic etc. Is really about facing fears head-on. Taking pills is avoidance. Learn about fight or flight. Here in the US we look for quick fixes. But we need to face our fears, that is half the battle.
What are you expecting when you’re dr hopping? What do you want them to do for you when nothing makes you happy? I’m confused by these people
I know, right? One well known anti-benzo activist is a physician’s assistant and you’re telling me she never bothered to ask or look up all the risks associated with long term benzo use? Or that being on 8-10 different medications, some being prescribed to manage the side effects of the OTHER meds? If one of her patients would have been on all those drugs, her radar would have gone off.
@@discdoggie I was in my early 20s when I graduated PA school. I was medicated prior to that. So, no, I was not an expert in psychiatric medications. I did not train as a psychiatrist. I was wet behind the ears and totally naive to the harms of psychotropic medications, otherwise I wouldn't have taken them myself! (obviously) I am also not an "anti-bento activist," by the way. Please think twice before commenting on and judging other people's stories when you don't know the whole thing - and also, please stop calling people "anti-" something if they are not. There's a big difference between critical- and anti- I think people deserve informed consent, but I do not believe we should ban benzos.

And these drugs are not legal and it's the drug dealer that killed my son not that anybody cares where I live cuz they did not investigate where there was bookshelves knocked over they said he OD'd I hate myself for giving my son speed and allowing them to give him morphine which I didn't have a choice which he was really enjoying a lot like me I was on morphine when I was 5 years old pain pills major back surgery from a bone out of my spine what about cognitive therapy they don't care about that do they
Two sides to this debate.
Kaiser in California even 20 years ago prescribed 2 of my friends 25 mg of Xanax (1/4 mg) , but it seems like everything prescribed today is .5 or even 1.0 mg from what I’ve heard.
He just gave him the worst antidepressant "Cymbalta ", I got on it for back pain, ended up in hospital winging off off it and Amytriptilin. 😢
$£€¥ "That's their main goal. Once they get you hooked, they'll earn more from it...
Ativan is ROUGH
"swallowed that sht for years" (pills) SHT is putting it lovely
I’m in that smaller category because I had hallucinations and delusions as a child. Plus, I was terribly anxious. I was born blind and I also had epilepsy. They gave me drugs for that because I kept having seizures. I’m talking like one or two years old. I used to have such terrible anxiety and even feelings like the walls caving in on me and that kind of thing. I have two other Homies who happened to be born blind, as as I was, but also have when I was bipolar, and the other has schizophrenia. They were delusional before the meds. My girl with bipolar still has incidents and she’s often in the hospital. so I hope nobody is like anti-medication because it does save saves some peoples lives. The best medication is cannabis by the way.
I think people have made things way more complicated for themselves but then it needs to be. I'm not downplaying the real issues that some people have, but I think an awful lot of people have issues that are smaller and don't require such extreme solutions.
I've got meds too, so I'm not unsympathetic to this. But I think to the most necessary things are that as a human you need to be around other humans. And that you need to feel needed by another human. That's kind of the basis of civilization and society. And love.
Medication has both saved and improved my life. I would have been dead long ago without them.
Has no bearing whatsoever on the number of people who have been made ill or been deleted by prescribed medication
These Drs that dish out these drugs like candy....need to experience full blown withdrawals that these drugs cause. Might just change things....

Thank you for opening our eyes.
Pharmaceuticals making more money than ever !!
😡
I have to leave this country if I want to live 😭😭😔😔
Please stop blaming the doctor. I always looked up my drug that i was given for anxiety.. that doctor was right people want both no stress or meds. It's a choice we as patient make.. use your own knowledge, now days you have to be your own advocate!!! Yes it's hard to stop a habit, not just drugs.. bless all of us that feel life should be better without something or someone to help us get tough life's downs.. Do talk therapy. God bless
This is why I went on a vegan diet - now I sleep peacefully with no anxiety.
Denial.
Hmmmm yeah even if you give someone meds that could help, they probably won't without talking and connection , strategies etc, doesn't matter what it is (i find no matter what you need the medications for, if it has a mental part.) People like soldiers are doing an actual traumatic job , that isn't an imbalance.
37:21 "behind a great man there is always a great woman", and could also say the opposite is true. Also how what was said earlier about a culture that demonizes pain and suffering and defies comfort, wives quickly run away as soon as things get a little tougher. "Ah well its not me, its just him messed up, BYE!!"
The real problem is our culture and the total lack of Humanity in out relationships since they have become instrumental only. It is hard to tell what being Human means anymore.
