Dissociation and psych drugs

Here’s an important thing to understand about psychiatric drugs.

Mental health conditions, just about all of them, are forms of dissociation from the body. Psychiatric drugs, across the board, dissociate one further from the body. Thus, they make the issues worse.

When people actually do find relief on psych drugs, that’s real and some people find in that kind of relief an opportunity to seek other ways of healing.

Other people, however, never get off of the drugs and slowly their metabolic processes and capacity to detoxify diminish further. Thus, we get the statistic that people on psych meds die 25 years earlier on average.

All the metabolic problems that are associated with folks who are labeled with psych dx, can be drug induced and might otherwise be understood as the body’s lack of capacity to properly detoxify.

The initial dissociation, too, appears to be an incapacity to properly detoxify. With our environment and food supply so laden with chemicals and other contaminants we are all up against it.

Learning to heal the body means listening to the body.

This I learned from living with an egregious psychiatric drug injury. I listen and learn everyday.

I continue to heal.

• Detoxification (healing the internal ecosystem)

Iatrogenic injury by psych drugs

• Medically induced illness: iatrogenic injury
• Treatment resistant mental illness? or Iatrogenic (drug-induced) illness?
• Tardive dyskinesia – iatrogenic injury, systemic infection
• Iatrogenic illness caused by mitochondrial damage—psychiatric drugs major culprit
