I cant believe you are the chif of psychiatric services.

Please repond. to the WHO study comparing recovery rates of schizophrenics in under developed countries to developed countries- neuroleptics are iatrogenic

Assen Jablensky, A. Psychological Medicine, supplement 20 (1992):1-95

the drugs cause brains to atrophy -

Petersen, “ The Influence of Chronic Exposure to Anti-psychotic medications on Brain Size after Tissue Fixation,“ Neuropsychopharmacology 30 (2005):1649-1661.

How can the brain learn when on its brain disablng medication.

Your findings on changes in the brain don't matter when you don't understand the mind-brain relationship.

I think I'll call that number because I'd like to ask him how one can help their schizophrenic sibling when he doesn't believe he needs help, and refuses adamantly. My brother disbelieves in my family's true identities and thinks we've all been raptured up into Heaven with Jesus; meaning, he is convinced that we are clones, imposters "playing the role" of his "real family." This has been going on for three years now. And nobody will help inform us of involuntary commitment.

I left a rather long comment on the first video. This second part was also very informative. Thanks. Thumbs up :)

these patients are usually a victim and due to their cognitive deficits people tend to take advantage of them. Very interesting.
