I try to look at all sides. I try to understand the possibilities of all sides. Then there are those who say since something didn't affect them a certain way as someone else else describes, they deny any possibility to it.
Effexor had terrible effects on me. I've experienced some seemingly permanent effects from certain psychiatric treatments, that I've gone into detail about at times on psychobabble, but will avoid here because I know it will wreck any credibility I might have left with some. But this doesn't mean I tell someone im not buying it when they tell me something like "Effexor saved their life".
Type in the name of any psychiatric treatment on Google and put " ruined my life" and many results with people describing their experiences will come up. If those who are pro psychiatry want to discredit the experience of anyone who have suffered at the hands of psychiatry, then why don't these same pro psychiatry people also deserve to be discredited when they speak out?
Effexor didn't help me, and actually made me worse. Therefore I can't get behind any suggestion it could actually benefit anyone. See how that sounds?
But with "Grain Brain", I don't suggest it as a " Be all, end all". Though it might be for some people. But I do see how it might could be very beneficial. And it also proposes it could be a good idea to cut out most fruits in favor of vegetables, because of the sugar content in fruits. That sweet fruits weren't abundant in the diet of our ancestors that our genes developed from.
Then there is the Orthomolecular Therapy that has been shown to be very beneficial. I'd like to look into it. And if I do try it. And if it doesn't help me. I don't think I'll be closing my mind off to the possibility of it helping someone else. Isn't that one of the main points in osychiatry, that we are all different and require different approaches for our treatment?
