I think the intersection of capitalism and medicine creates a void of knowledge. Thanks for posting this MiA article, Rosetta. It reminded me of this: Webmd - Doctors' Suicide Rate Highest of Any Profession That article says the reason is because of "untreated or undertreated depression". But is that true? According to a recent alert from Dr. Breggin: Dr. Peter Breggin - 75% of Young Docs on Psych Drugs And pardon me for going there, but, there's also this: Mad in America - Why Many Doctors Are Authoritarians – and Harmful I only bring this up because in order to understand what we're dealing with, we need to understand who we're dealing with. These are not people who are capable of seeing what is going on around them and definitely not the kind of people who will stand up to the power of our capitalist overlords. The will follow authoritarian leaders. As you wisely say, Rosetta, the "intersection of capitalism and medicine creates a void of knowledge". As that last link I posted states: The sad reality is that for many doctors, career ambition—and an accompanying compulsion to please authority—trump their moral apprehensions.

Rosetta Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Good points @Indiaand @Shep. Drugs are dangerous, and they are not respected by doctors. I agree that the authoritarianism and the career ambition are factors. "Improperly" treated distress (not depression necessarily) is what is causing some of these suicides. There is no interest to find the real cause either. The doctors themselves are considered expendable by the pharmaceutical executives. https://www.survivingantidepressants.org/topic/16629-rosetta-ct-may-2011-too-fast-taper-feb-2017/?page=25 2001-2011 Celexa 10 mg raised to 40 mg then 60 mg over this time period May 2011 OB Doctor's Cold switch Celexa 60 mg to 10 mg Zoloft sertraline (baby born) 2012-2016 - Doctors raised dose of Zoloft up to 150 mg 2016 - Xanax prescribed - as needed - 0.5 mg about every 3 days (bad reaction) 2016 - Stopped Xanax Late 2016- Began (too fast) taper of Zoloft Early 2017 - Trazodone prescribed for bedtime (doseage unknown) Feb 2017 - Completed taper/stopped Trazodone Drug free since Feb 2017 2017 - Unisom otc very rarely for sleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
