What it is like to be on psychiatric medication (trigger warning)

Dear David @dfb
My brain doesn’t work enough of reading, understanding, or talking back so your writing is WOW to me. You must be a pro-writer. I had to read and then read again, parts of this, to sorta understanding.
You have written with other Mayo people. I’m so glad to you to do more helping all of us even your meds & pains happens to many of us. I think, of what you said, meds kill the fevers inside us.
My meds take care to stop a seizure cause I had an accident 12 years ago - I hate these meds for the rest of my life BUT I pray every day that I Believe Christ this end of my human—life will move to a new way to Him. I don’t really “hate’ my human-life and thankfully, my family, church bothers & sisters and others are great.
Thx,
Greg D. @greg56xx

Greg,
The right medication’s can save lives.
I want to be 100% clear there are appropriate uses for medication.
What has become a problem as doctors being too busy and simply prescribing medication’s which then caused the patient to present as more ill requiring more medication.
This is a systemic problem because of the self organizing nature of medicine and the insurance industry to generate a profit.
The right doctor can make all the difference in the world they’re so busy however we need to help them and do our own homework. That’s been my experience.
As for those in the psychiatric perfection, they have been misled by the DSM the pharmaceutical industry, and they are causing enormous suffering and death.
That doesn’t mean anyone should ignore their doctor.
One should engage with their doctor do homework and ask the questions and insist they treat you properly as a human being.
Not a problem to be solved.
When they can’t solve a problem, they triage patients into those, just keep comfortable into those who might get better, psychiatric medication blunt cognition, to such extent that is very difficult for us, the patient, even stand up for ourselves.
It’s very wonderful to get your messages. Thank you.
May you live in peace and good health
