Breggin constantly attacks psychiatric drugs but he doesn't provide us with any evidence of the efficacy of the treatments which he suggests as an alternative. He is 'on a mission' to demonstrate the toxicity of all psych drugs.

Hi Ed,
I do agree that Breggin views are extreme but he makes great points. I would like to see some validity to his research. Have you seen any research that clearly states AP's cause long term/permanent disorders after the w/d of the drug? Again, thanks for the reassurance. Many symptoms I have now are a direct result of coming off the cocktail of drugs I was on. I can tell the difference. I just hope to get on with my life. It is so hard to let this go. I just feel violated. Why are drugs the first line of treatment instead of therapy, etc? I do believe that people do need drug therapy but I was just a normal person with some anxeity and depression and I got into this mess.Thanks for listening. :)
