No. They're basically poisons that chemically lobotomize people. Over time the brain itself withers like a girdled tree.

There is no money in providing a cure. The real money is from providing treatments for the rest of the patient's life.

That's only half of it. This is why I try to drive the phrase "maim and drain" into people's heads until they get it. You don't just provide an ineffective treatment to have a permanent customer, you maim to begin with so that they eventually become a customer, then you give harmful treatments that damage them even further, making them more confused, desperate, and dependent, while you layer on other treatments and tests. This is known as polypharmacy and it is extremely common. It's the core of the medical industrial complex's business model, it is their raison d'etre, and it is what sustains them. Without this, they are nothing. Their entire system and literally everything they do or can do is predicated on it.

No, it doesn`t cure but it manages the symptoms and prevents the worst things happening.
Once you have seen somebody brought back from complete madness to fairly normal you will understand.

As far as any current stuff, no. Anything caused by trauma responces(such as most disassociative identitity disorders) arent even treated with medication outside a clinic environment to prevent self-harm or violent episodes. For clinical, no, no medication can change the brain chemistry causes of mental illness. We dont even fully grasp how it works, let alone can "repair" the damage.

yes and no

what actually happens is your body uses chemical receptors to communicate the drugs block specfic receptors

the only thing that happens is your body makes more which requires more drugs to block more and it rinses and repeats. its why you have to goto a rehab facility if you stop drugs to help cope with the psychotic break most people have with drugs. if its not a mental break its withdraw which can kill you and requires medical supervision. its why you see people say take your meds when people know the person going crazy is on head meds.

they are quite literally losing their minds because they didnt take their meds and instead of 10 they have 1000 receptors. if you get blood clots the body will literally make new veins to get around it and maintain blood flow so the reality is there are issues you can have and not even know about because the body tries to fix it. most meds head or otherwise cause the body to stop producing it. its why testosterone pills causes men to become ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with milk tits if they stop and gain so much weight.

when you see people who look amazing in their 40s. they werent poor and they did no drugs.

Stalin solved this.

Doctors are there to make money for the medical industry anyway they can. I had a doctor really push me to get a surgery but I wasn't convinced so I actually went to a friend of mine who was a doctor, he looked at my charts and said it really isn't necessary and if you get your check ups at the hospital itself and not an off site clinic, they are more likely to pressure you into things that aren't needed.

no

Drugs treat symptoms of a problem. They do not fix anything nor restore health. Worse is that the drugs themselves are toxic and cause long term problems. The body sees any drug as a poison, which is exactly what they are, so that's what they are treated as. It does everything it can to get the toxic junk out of the body as fast as possible. Repeated doses lead to resistance, because the body wants to negate whatever the drug is doing. After that, when you quit the drug, you have withdrawal. Ideally drugs should only be used temporarily, such as for infections or pain, not long term.

Can using drugs (prescribed medicine) long term really "cure" mental illness?

Been on my meds since i was 13 (I'm 40) they won't cure me but they keep me under control.

If that's a good thing...

Neuro is a field that still has a lot that needs to be explored before there's definitive answers, but for many neurological illness, there is no current cure, only treatment of symptoms.

However there are conditions where a neurological illness in and of itself, is a symptom. For example genetic conditions, or vitamin deficiencies.

if you are getting medicated with no therapy then medicated is all you can rely on....

and good therapy requires a really skilled person as well.... a lot of bad therapist out there...

it also depended on what your medication is supposed to be doing and what
are you doing to not end up on more medications.... sometimes you have to work on yourself


has anyone read A Road Less Travelled by M Scott Peck

isn't there a link between tylenol overuse and alzheimer's brain spongiform or am i getting my common over the counter medications mixed up?
