#classification of psychiatric drugs

[foolishmortal]

“I’m going to create these wellness farms where they can go to get off of illegal drugs, off of opiates, but also illegal drugs, other psychiatric drugs, if they want to, to get off of SSRIs, to get off of benzos, to get off of Adderall, and to spend time as much time as they need—three or four years if they need it—to learn to get reparented, to reconnect with communities.” The farm residents would grow their own organic food because, he suggested, many of their underlying problems could be “food-related.”

So we are sentencing people deemed dangerous and hooked onto illegal drugs (The classification of which is apparently a sliding scale based on his whims) to manual labor and reparenting (reeducation) camps. Interesting. History sure does rhyme.

hi caden you’ve talked before about enjoying using stimulant drugs i am interested from the pov of someone who isn’t going to be like “they cured my symptoms <3” what they did for you. i’m considering getting an adhd diagnosis bc i think i could benefit from the meds even though i don’t think the classification itself is useful

finally, a medical advice question i can answer. i will cut to the chase here: i basically just like being mildly high on amphetamines. if you ever like, drank a shitload of caffeine all at once, that's kind of a shittier and weaker version of how it feels when an rx stimulant kicks in. they make you feel more energetic and awake (good for me because i am eepy), they can produce a mild sense of euphoria, they generally just sort of heighten your arousal / attention / alertness. for me, i pretty reliably experience this as being more confident / lively / interested in things (tho it's not uncommon for many people that this can also feel like heightened anxiety, so ymmv). i can use this boost to like, get work done, or just for recreational purposes lol. often both! i actually used to have short-release stims as my rx, and a lot of times i would snort them, again sometimes purely recreationally and sometimes more prupose-driven. if you're going to do that there are some additional health risks lol so i wouldn't necessarily recommend it casually, but ya know. (i have kinda soured on the short-release ones anyway because i tend to forget to keep re-upping them and then i get terrible crashes coming on and off them. the long-release are a little kinder in that respect, you just won't really be able to mess with the dose to the same degree.)

there's a lot of mystification around rx stimulants from psychiatric and pharmaceutical authorities who are trying really hard to differentiate their products from more stigmatised, illegal uppers. this really appealed to me when i first got dxed with adhd lol, but is basically horseshit, pharmacologically speaking; uppers are uppers and some people like them. for example, i also enjoy coke, but it's expensive, doesn't last that long, and comes with the risks of any black-market drug, where i'm not able to know for sure how much it's cut & with what, &c. so, i don't really think of rx uppers as being different categorically to black-market ones, but all drugs have different considerations and you might like one over another for any number of reasons.

anyway yeah: i like adhd drugs, and although i can and do use them to accomplish certain things (like, it is true they make it easier to sustain focus, eg on work or boring chores or whatever), i do also just like the feeling of using them. i don't feel like i need to justify either of those reasons for using stims lol, and also, separating the two is basically impossible in practice and imo is really just a fantasy of drug moralisers who don't want to admit that a it's, like, ok to enjoy substances. obviously, if you want to look into uppers, i would also strongly recommend keeping an eye on potential side effects and long-term risks, of which there definitely are some (particularly some cardiac things to keep in mind, and risks go up if you're using higher amounts, and/or mixing with other substances esp downers).

"Although DSM III considerably expanded the range of behaviors defined as markers of mental disorder, the manual never actually defined what exactly qualified these behaviors as mental disorders. The creation of a classification system in which symptoms signified and thus qualified as markers of a mental or emotional disorder now pathologized a wide range of behaviors. For example, “oppositional disorder” (coded 313.81) is defined “as a pattern of disobedient, negativistic, and provocative opposition to authority figures,” “histrionic personality disorder” (coded 301.50) occurs when individuals are “lively and dramatic and always drawing attention to themselves,” and “avoidant and personality disorder” (coded 301.82) is characterized by “hypersensitivity to potential rejection, humiliation, or shame and unwillingness to enter into relationships unless given unusually strong guarantees of uncritical accep-tance.” With the attempt to carefully codify and classify pathologies, the category of mental disorder became very loose and very wide, including behaviors or personality traits that merely fell outside the range of what psychologists postulated was “average.” Behaviors or personality features that might have been previously categorized as “having a bad temper” were now in need of care and management and were henceforth pathologized. Herb Kutchins and Stuart Kirksuggest that the codification of pathologies is related to the close connection between mental health treatment and insurance coverage. DSM III grew out of the need to make the relationship between diagnosis and treatment tighter so that insurance companies (or other payers) could process claims more efficiently. As Kutchins and Kirk put it, “DSM is the psychotherapist’s password for insurance reimbursement.” DSM—which provides the code numbers to be listed on the claims for insurance reimbursement—is the bridge connecting mental health professionals and such large money-giving institutions as Medicaid, Social Security Disability Income, benefit programs for veterans, and Medicare. Not only is it used by the majority of mental health clinicians, but it is increasingly used by third parties such as “state legislatures, regulatory agencies, courts, licensing boards, insurance companies, child welfare authorities, police, etc.” In addition, pharmaceutical industries have an interest in the expansion of mental pathologies that can then be treated with psychiatric medications. As Kutchin and Kirk eloquently put it, “For drug companies, . . . unlabeled masses are a vast untapped market, the virgin Alaskan oil fields of mental disorder.” Thus the DSM, willfully or not, helps label and chart new mental health consumer territories, which in turn help expand pharmaceutical companies. Hence the expansion of the category of mental illness, dysfunction, or emotional pathology is related to the professional and financial interests of mental health professionals and drug companies. It is also related to the increasing use of psychological categories to claim benefits, compensations, or extenuating circumstances in courts. In this process, the DSM has clearly considerably enlarged the scope of psychologists’ authority, who now legislate over such questions as how much anger may be appropriately expressed, how much sexual desire one should have, how much anxiety one should feel, and which emotional behaviors should be given the label of “mental disease.”" -Saving the modern soul: Therapy, emotions and the culture of self-help by Eva Illouz

Homeopathy vs. Conventional Medicine: What a Homeopathic Doctor in Mohali Says

When it comes to healthcare, patients often face a choice between homeopathy and conventional medicine. While both approaches aim to heal and restore health, they differ in principles, treatment methods, and long-term effects. A homeopathic doctor in Mohali shares insights on the key differences and benefits of homeopathy compared to conventional medicine.

1. Understanding the Core Principles

Homeopathy: Based on the principle of “like cures like,” homeopathy uses natural substances in highly diluted forms to stimulate the body’s self-healing abilities.

Conventional Medicine: Focuses on diagnosing diseases and treating symptoms using pharmaceutical drugs, surgery, and other medical interventions.

2. Treatment Approach: Symptom Suppression vs. Root Cause Healing

Homeopathy: Treats the root cause of an illness rather than just suppressing symptoms. It enhances the body’s natural defense mechanisms for long-term healing.

Conventional Medicine: Often relies on symptom suppression. While effective in acute conditions, long-term use of conventional medicines can lead to side effects or dependency.

3. Safety and Side Effects

Homeopathy: Uses natural, diluted remedies that are safe for all ages, including infants, pregnant women, and elderly patients. It does not cause side effects or drug dependency.

Conventional Medicine: Can include strong medications with potential side effects, including drowsiness, gastrointestinal issues, and organ damage in some cases.

4. Individualized vs. Generalized Treatment

Homeopathy: Every patient is treated as unique, and remedies are prescribed based on their specific symptoms, emotional state, and overall constitution.

Conventional Medicine: Treatments are often standardized based on disease classification rather than personalized for each patient.

5. Chronic Disease Management

Homeopathy: Effective in managing chronic conditions such as asthma, arthritis, migraines, skin disorders, and digestive issues without side effects.

Conventional Medicine: Often relies on long-term medication use, which can lead to side effects and dependency.

6. Effectiveness in Acute Conditions

Homeopathy: Works well for acute conditions like colds, coughs, fevers, and allergies but may take time for chronic diseases.

Conventional Medicine: Provides rapid relief for infections, injuries, and emergency situations but may not offer long-term healing.

7. Approach to Mental Health

Homeopathy: Treats mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, and insomnia holistically, addressing emotional and physical symptoms.

Conventional Medicine: Uses psychiatric medications that may have side effects like dependency, drowsiness, or weight gain.

8. Cost-Effectiveness

Homeopathy: Generally more affordable as treatments are natural and do not require costly medical procedures.

Conventional Medicine: Can be expensive due to frequent doctor visits, diagnostic tests, and prescription medications.

9. Drug Resistance and Immunity

Homeopathy: Strengthens the immune system naturally, reducing the likelihood of infections and drug resistance.

Conventional Medicine: Overuse of antibiotics and other drugs can lead to drug resistance and weakened immunity over time.

10. Patient Testimonials: Why Mohali Residents Choose Homeopathy

Many patients in Mohali have successfully turned to homeopathy for long-term healing. They report improvements in chronic conditions, better immunity, and a reduction in dependency on pharmaceutical drugs.

Conclusion

Both homeopathy and conventional medicine have their place in healthcare. While conventional medicine is effective in emergencies and acute conditions, homeopathy offers a holistic, natural, and side-effect-free approach to long-term healing. Homeopathic doctor mohali can help patients achieve balanced health by treating the root cause of ailments rather than just symptoms. Choosing the right approach depends on individual health needs, but homeopathy remains a trusted alternative for those seeking natural and holistic healing.

Peri.

CASE FILE: PERILOUS “PERI” SCAE-CYRUS

(“Why? Because I was meant to, because I thought I had to. Why… what kind of a question is that? Have you ever met soldiers before? When we ask ‘why’, we get demoted, and I liked my pay in my fucking pocket with a loosened leash around my neck. On the subject of which, you cu-.”)

RISK LEVEL: High

DIAGNOSIS: Antisocial personality disorder, post traumatic stress disorder. Patient refuses to engage with psychiatric classification.

SUBJECTS OF RISK: Self, Others, Property.

CONFINEMENT PROCEDURES: Solitary cell. Full surveillance. Amenities kept to a minimum. No sharp objects. Any meeting with others requires the presence of at least one officer.

(“Me? A threat to others? Oh, whatever would make you think that? No, clearly I couldn’t hurt a fly, unless scores of dead soldiers and civilians count for shit. Which one are you writing? You have choices, don’t you. I mean how you can say ‘capable of violence’, which is most people. Or ‘violent tendencies’, ‘belligerent’, ‘physically confrontational’. Those all tick the same fucking box.”)

AUTHORISED ITEMS:

[updated following incident PERILOUS-07]

Bandages to be supplied regularly regardless of cooperation, else patient cooperation seriously deteriorates. Requests for candles can be authorised as reward for good behaviour. Usage must be fully monitored.

PATIENT HISTORY: Found, heavily and freshly bandaged, in an unauthorised hangar raided after an anonymous tip. Possible suicide attempt, which subject denies.Records designate them as a member of a partially unidentified military group, responsible for the massacre of Fesyne.

Subject testimony is unreliable.

(“My history? About as rote as a black ops soldier gets. Don’t give me shit like i’m the first traumatised sod from that background to show up here. Fine. Born, then something, trained to kill, then did. Made into a demon, acted like it, went too far and after that a few failed attempts at doing something good lead to this. No, I won’t say. The only thing i’ll tell you is who I killed the most for, but if I do you won’t write it down.”)

NOTES FROM PRIMARY THERAPIST: Peri is inherently untrusting of our institution, and while he exhibits signs of genuine remorse and has expressed past desires to make amends, she refuses to cooperate with our methods in any way.

My main concern is her isolation. She is kept in solitary confinement, given her prior history and numerous altercations with other prisoners. However, looking through the incident reports, he has never dealt any more than superficial injuries, if any, in these cases. Worryingly, it would seem that he wants to be fought and lose, for what reason I cannot discern.

It is my opinion that a spectrum of medications could resolve this. However, getting her to ingest them, or accept injections, is an issue. I recommend alternate methods of administering them to him.

(“Don’t try that shit again. I choose what goes in my body. It’s mine now, you hear me? Yeah, I know the concept of medicine. I just don’t trust your shit. Look, I know a lot more chemistry than you think I do. And you’ll always underestimate me on that, just because I had to pick warfare over some noble’s college.”)

NOTES FROM PATIENT

[patient refused to submit notes except in hand writing. Two days on from this, against the patient’s wishes, patient’s old bandages were taken. They had writing on them, which has been transcribed further below.]

I’m not taking any drugs I can’t identify, I’m never cooperating with your therapists, I don’t want a single fucking thing to do with the corps that fund you. Oh, and if you make it worth my while, say, by holding things back from me- I will be a problem.

…

I did not expect it to be so absent of fire.

A billowing black cloud, spread by wind down what would be called a battlefield. Genetrace gas. Can’t be made in large quantities. Not yet, I hope.Tiny machines, two ifs and an else.

If biological, isolate the nucleus then autosomes. If approved, end program. Else: burn through.

Not like fire, more like acid.

They don’t look like people after. Too much of the shape is gone, doused in the blood it ignores, as if only to remind you this thing was once alive. Most everything else is untouched, but you can’t see it. You can’t see anything else.

Just a stream of blood and ash.

Let me light another candle.

In theory, I could not die there. In theory, I had been granted a pass. Even now, they don’t know if I still have it.

Them not knowing what is still in my flesh and what I have pulled out screaming (it or me), is a satisfaction. They don’t get to choose who I kill anymore.

Though, do I, really?

The processes lined me with circuits, lessons, DNA, conditioning. Cut out, extracted, relearned what I could. But I’m the shadow of those not-corpses, now. I look like people. But where they would have a soul, I don’t.

Just ash and blood, in its shape.

Let me light another candle.

When a body is ill, it heats up. Tries to burn away the pathogen. It’s destructive, but not just a lesser, it’s scarcely an evil.

The diaspora is a map of pyres: of heat caused by or boiling out the evils that infect it. When I fire, each trigger pull, the only memory still in my muscles: it used to be for the greater evil.

Now; the scarce one.

I had assumed fire was death, here. But no. Fire is life. Fire proves that the fight is still going on, that there’s still light on cruelty.

Fire is the hatred of death. They’re bedfellows, not synonyms.

I’m out of blood, I’m fucking done with ash.

All I have left is fire.

Let me light another candle.

…

(“Let me free to fix things, or leave me here to rot. Your choice, not mine.”)

Mental Health

Mental health encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being, influencing cognition, perception, and behavior. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is a "state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and can contribute to his or her community". It likewise determines how an individual handles stress, interpersonal relationships, and decision-making. Mental health includes subjective well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, intergenerational dependence, and self-actualization of one's intellectual and emotional potential, among others.

From the perspectives of positive psychology or holism, mental health may include an individual's ability to enjoy life and to create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Cultural differences, personal philosophy, subjective assessments, and competing professional theories all affect how one defines "mental health". Some early signs related to mental health difficulties are sleep irritation, lack of energy, lack of appetite, thinking of harming oneself or others, self-isolating (though introversion and isolation aren't necessarily unhealthy), and frequently zoning out.

Mental disorders

See also: Mental disorder

Mental health, as defined by the Public Health Agency of Canada, is an individual's capacity to feel, think, and act in ways to achieve a better quality of life while respecting personal, social, and cultural boundaries. Impairment of any of these are risk factor for mental disorders, or mental illnesses, which are a component of mental health. In 2019, about 970 million people worldwide suffered from a mental disorder, with anxiety and depression being the most common. The number of people suffering from mental disorders has risen significantly throughout the years. Mental disorders are defined as health conditions that affect and alter cognitive functioning, emotional responses, and behavior associated with distress and/or impaired functioning. The ICD-11 is the global standard used to diagnose, treat, research, and report various mental disorders. In the United States, the DSM-5 is used as the classification system of mental disorders.

Mental health is associated with a number of lifestyle factors such as diet, exercise, stress, drug abuse, social connections and interactions. Psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed professional clinical counselors, social workers, nurse practitioners, and family physicians can help manage mental illness with treatments such as therapy, counseling, and medication.

History

Early history

Highly stylized poster for the Hygiene Congress in Hamburg, 1912

In the mid-19th century, William Sweetser was the first to coin the term mental hygiene, which can be seen as the precursor to contemporary approaches to work on promoting positive mental health. Isaac Ray, the fourth president of the American Psychiatric Association and one of its founders, further defined mental hygiene as "the art of preserving the mind against all incidents and influences calculated to deteriorate its qualities, impair its energies, or derange its movements".

In American history, mentally ill patients were thought to be religiously punished. This response persisted through the 1700s, along with the inhumane confinement and stigmatization of such individuals. Dorothea Dix (1802–1887) was an important figure in the development of the "mental hygiene" movement. Dix was a school teacher who endeavored to help people with mental disorders and to expose the sub-standard conditions into which they were put. This became known as the "mental hygiene movement". Before this movement, it was not uncommon that people affected by mental illness would be considerably neglected, often left alone in deplorable conditions without sufficient clothing. From 1840 to 1880, she won the support of the federal government to set up over 30 state psychiatric hospitals; however, they were understaffed, under-resourced, and were accused of violating human rights.

There is growing evidence that Pfizer was well aware that its COVID-19 vaccines were risky when they pushed them on the world and brought in record profits.

One document that has been getting a lot of attention on social media is the drug maker’s “Cumulative Analysis of Post-Authorization Adverse Event Reports of PF-07302048 (BNT162B2) Received Through 28-Feb-2021”, with the numbers referring to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. It contains cumulative post-authorization safety data. The document notes that Pfizer’s safety database records adverse events that are reported to the manufacturer, published in medical literature, and reported by health authorities, among other sources.

It contains a chart showing some of the most commonly reported adverse events following vaccination, and the top classifications were general disorders, nervous system, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal and skin related, although cardiac, vascular, psychiatric and many other categories also appeared. When it came to events reported in more than 2% of cases, tachycardia, myalgia, nausea, fatigue and numerous others were listed.

There was also a shockingly long list of adverse events of special interest (AESI), which are medical concerns specific to a vaccine or medication that require close monitoring during and after clinical trials. Rather than serving as an official list of side effects, its purpose is safety surveillance, but the fact that there are so many of them should give everyone serious pause.

The appendix contains a full NINE pages of adverse events of special interest. It is so lengthy that it might have been easier for them to list the side effects they weren’t concerned about monitoring.

Long Unfruitful Frustrating day

"Charlotte’s swerve from kindliness to vehement recrimination and threats came as no surprise to Strike, who’d endured her mood swings for years. Clever, funny and often endearing, Charlotte was also capable of fathomless spite, not to mention a self-destructive recklessness that had led her to sever relationships on a whim or to take extreme physical risks. Various psychiatrists and therapists had had their say over the years, each trying to corral her unpredictability and unhappiness into some neat medical classification. She’d been prescribed drugs, ricocheted between counsellors and been admitted to therapeutic facilities, yet Strike knew something in Charlotte herself had stubbornly resisted help. She’d always insisted that nothing the medical or psychiatric profession offered would ever, or could ever, help her. Only Strike could do that, she’d insisted time and again: only Strike could save her from herself. " The Running Grave - Robber Galbraith

PTSD and Addiction: Understanding the Connection

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and addiction can co-occur in people due to shared classification and risk factors, which don’t necessarily stem from the same avenues. Addiction is a disease that*********** is chronic and progressive, and influences the individual to make negative decisions and seek out substances at the expense of their well-being. PTSD is an anxiety disorder, triggered by a trauma or event, that causes thoughts, bodily responses, and mental processes to alert the person to upcoming danger, when no such danger may exist. Research indicates that inductees from the armed services are more likely to suffer from a substance abuse disorder comorbid with PTSD. An article from the Harvard Review of Psychiatry shows that veterans affected by the disorder are far more likely to develop a substance use disorder. This can be attributed to the methods that veterans have developed to cope with the sense of fear and anxiety that occurs in PTSD sufferers. Beneficiaries of PTSD and Addiction: • One of the primary health concerns of veterans is the prevalence of alcohol use to cope with PTSD • Caffeine and cannabis use has increased among both sexes with the diagnosis of PTSD • Stimulant medications, like cocaine and amphetamines, are more common in those with PTSD By understanding the connection between PTSD and addiction, it is possible to address both conditions and dispel preconceived notions that drug and alcohol addiction are merely experimental behavior. Seeking help for both PTSD and addiction can be accomplished through holistic treatment at specialized drug rehabilitation centers and through comprehensive & individualized addiction treatment centers. It’s important, though, to find the right fit for treatment in order to ensure success. Studies have consistently shown that individuals living with both PTSD and addiction have an improved quality of life when successful treatment is obtained. Outcome studies aid in knowing what treatments have been found successful and which have not. In order to fully encompass both diseases, one must break away from the outdated Midwest model of only treating addiction. Instead, there should be a focus on mental health therapies which indicates that any associated psychiatric conditions be addressed concurrently.
