Moderator Emeritus manymoretodays Posted June 19, 2023 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) From a channel with a health professional licensed in the U.S doing the interview. Definitely a good guy, great doctor. I especially liked towards the end, where they talked about the terms we use and how we(patients and the doctors we might see)need to alter them. Like for me. Over 6 years, 6 months out now, or off my last psychotropic/psychiatric drug. I want to try and remember to use "psychiatric drug induced neurological dysfunction" with the caveat that I'm hopeful and still healing but do have Waves on occasion. PDIND for short, and still needs work I guess, the term. PD plus IND. I cannot always locate the whys to that, my Waves,..... but I do know I always get back to what I regard as my baseline now. And eventually my hope would be all medical professionals "get it" and understand just what we deal with, and act and treat us accordingly. Rather than pull out the prescription pads and dismiss us, gaslight us. Enjoy. It's about an hour but really good as it's so hopeful. Empowering. Hope it comes through okay. Healing and understanding sent to all. Edited June 19, 2023 by manymoretodays took out the doctors name from my introduction to the video, it came from a youtube channel, and so will just go with how it was labeled 1 Late 2023- gone to emeritus status, inactive, don't @ me, I can check who I've posted on, and I'm not really here like I used to be......thanks.
