Do antipsychotics reduce life expectancy, cause illness and death

Yes.

The progressive movement has known this for years. People like peter breggin or others have written books on this.

Psychiatrists don't read them though. The do read and react to studies which show the drug reduces life expectancy by 50%. At least when the government kick their arse.

It took one observational study which showed they reduced the life expectancy in people who were old by 50z%. The drugs didn't need to be used. The royal college of psychiatry report stated 1,800 unnecessary deaths every year to deal with a social problem.

The government strategy changed. These drugs sometimes are noted to be bad for demenita.

And yet they use them on kids. They use them on schizophrenics for life. There is no recommendation against.

Of course doctors use harmful treatments to save lives and treat real illnesses.

These drugs are medical treatment though. As yet the evidence doesn't exist for delivering on what patients want. They're often used as behavioural control.

But..most of all...most significantly...these supposed treatments don't rectify the supposed illness. What I mean specifically is illness is, in part, defined by a biological component. Thoguh well studied the brain differences are not healed and mkay, in fact, be caused by the medication.

In short doctors who prescribe these drugs are not doctors. They break their fundamental oath. They cause harm to 'treat' a social problem. The treatment is little different from a straitjacket except it is a pill, it is more dangerous and few but me give a flying fuck about this injusticed.

About Me

We It comes in part from an appreciation that no one can truly sign their own work. Everything is many influences coming together to the one moment where a work exists. The other is a begrudging acceptance that my work was never my own. There is another consciousness or non-corporeal entity that helps and harms me in everything I do. I am not I because of this force or entity. I am "we"
