In reply to Has the Low Serotonin Hypothesis done more Harm, posted by LarsHoney1 on February 15, 2019, at 9:47:12
it isn't just the low serotonin marketing hype. its...pretty much psychiatry, and by extension...the mental health industry.
in decades past, psychiatrists were more talk oriented with the middle and upper classes, drugs and shock and operations for the working class, poor, minorities, and in hospitals. and now...
talk takes time, and there's some data that shows it isn't all that effective, either. writing prescriptions is easy and brings in $$$ and status as a "real doctor," etc. the end result is that most "treatment" is drug based and really about control--of behavior, "symptoms," thoughts, feelings, etc.
i just...don't know. i am sorry about your health condition. these psych drugs are serious business...and often one is never told, so it isn't until things get -terrible- (or the insurance runs out) that the truth is revealed. they not only don't have real answers, they don't care that much, either.
