Linkage exaggerates when he claims I say antibiotics for everything. I don't. Just psychiatry.
And you can't help but notice that the ones who gripe about that the most, who push back against it the hardest, are the ones who remain the sickest for the longest, the ones who refuse to even try it, don't dare go there, blows up conventional thinking, something like that, not sure, great skepticism, great hesitancy, none of it justified.
No offense to anyone it's just that their unjustified condemnation of antibiotics in psychiatry is flat wrong. imo

> Rauvolfia serpentina (Indian Snakeroot) is a traditional Indian treatment for certain psychiatric disorders. It contains reserpine, which has been shown to exert antihypertensive, anti-manic, anti-schizophrenic, anti-agresstive effects. It lowers levels of monoamines (dopamine, norepinephrine). You have to be careful with this one though, as it can sometimes cause depression.
