In reply to Who Is Peter Breggin?, posted by Phillipa on September 20, 2009, at 13:05:56
Well, you know how some people are just so gung-ho pro meds, like meds are the greatest things to mankind, like it is the only way to fix a body, and there is no other way?
That is an extreme. An extreme unfortunately that is seen here most often.
However, all things balance out and average out. On the opposite extreme is Peter Breggin. Psych meds are only poison in his view. That's extreme.
I believe in what we don't see very often...a middle ground between those two extremes, where we incorporate the best of both worlds and take heed of the cautions of both worlds and treat the entire body from every angle possible.
Psychiatrists are extreme. Peter Breggin is extreme. They are opposite poles of extreme. Neither is completely right or wrong.
Just the way I see it.
