In reply to Psychiatry is a bit impotent right now., posted by linkadge on April 29, 2012, at 19:35:57
I think it has been rather impotent for quite a few years already. The monotherapy drugs are for the most part rather useless in my opinion. The best psychiatry we have includes, imo, combos that hit both NE and 5htp. In other words, TCA+SSRI combos or MAOIs. The serotonin meds are a cruel joke I think. Granted, once in a while we see a miracle with zoloft or prozac, but really, that isn't very often, maybe what, 1 out of 10?
I think the entire industry got sidetracked on the whole neurotransmitter deficiency theory thing and that's why impotence set in. Depression aint just simply a deficiency of a neuro. That's arrogance and ignorance on display.
When they start making the close links between occult pathogens in the nervous system, inflammation in the nervous system, malicious chemistries in the intestines, the impact of food....such as sensitivities or allergies, lead, mercury, ya know....stuff! Until they start tying it all together into a big picture that actually makes sense, things will stay impotent.
