This all makes sense to me. My mom has been one one psychoactive drug or another since 1989. Her cognitive ability is in the toilet and she's on a cocktail of different things now. I had a breakdown 5 years ago. Was on some drugs for a few weeks until I stabilized and I've been ok ever since. I think the standard course of action would have been to stay on them indefinitely. Thank goodness for lack of healthcare I guess. I wish there was a way society could actually help the mentally ill instead of causing harm as usual.


That's terrible, and I'm sorry for you. I'm very thankful for my medication though, because whilst not dependant on them, they do patch a few annoying bugs.
