Recovery for Mental Illness Redefined

Uploaded by: psychetruth
Video Description:
Please don't think I believe this crap. People often do get better and become free of any mental disorder symptoms but psychiatry doesn't acknowledge that.
In the world of psychiatry, what cures exist for mental illness. You are about to find out. This video references the top authorities of mental health in the United States. So, we have all these mental illnesses like depression, OCD, bipolar, ADHD, social anxiety disorder, Asperger's Syndrome,
anorexia, and the list goes on. So, we prescribe all these drugs to people that are diagnosed with one or more of these mental disorders. Like antidepressants like Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Celexa, Lexapro, Effexor or Wellbutrin. SSRI (Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) are often pro
moted as correcting chemical imbalances in the brain but there is no proof that depression or mental illness is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain nor is there any proof that antidepressants correct an imbalance. Medications like Ritalin, Concerta, Adderall, Dexedrine, Strattera, Focalin an
d Metadata for ADHD. All have undesirable side effects and can damage a person's organs. Often extreme states of mind like schizophrenia are drugged with antipsychotic medications such as Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, Geodon, Haldol, Thorazine, Stelazine and Clozaril. All of these drugs are used t
o control symptoms only. They are not cure for mental disorders. They all have an unknown mechanism of action. Some have side effects and adverse events that can cause permanent neurological damage, movement disorders, diabetes, weight gain, impaired cognitive functioning. This video was produced

The truth is people ... ( 11 months ago by psychetruth)

The truth is people can fully recovery from mental disorders but since psychiatry is really powerless to cure their patients they had to redefine recovery. Still I agree even a consumer learning to live a fulfilling life despite their disability is an improvement from simply sedating the patient.

Jane Elliot did the ... ( 11 months ago by RecoveryPsychology)

Jane Elliot did the Brown Eye/Blue Eye thing...that's mainly what I think of about mental illness, it's a label...I think persons with mental illness do recover from this Brown Eye/Blue Eye syndrome, and the personal problems that they have are no different than the problems people without mental illnesses. I think the "recovery" is more about learning to deal with social problems.

Oh I agree. The ... ( 11 months ago by psychetruth)

Oh I agree. The evidence out there actually points to the fact that even extreme states of mind such as schizophrenia, psychosis or bipolar episodes are nothing more than temporary mental states brought about by a reaction to extreme stress and/or trauma or drugs and that given a sufficiently safe environment and gentle enough support, the person eventually returns to full cognitive functioning and recovers.

Good job psychetruth. Several of my friends have signed onto recovery in response to a Pat Deegan conference in Toronto several years ago. We support each other in our interests and activity. I believe it is important to follow your dreams. Occupation in the sense of interests and activity can help to boost self esteem. Nothing helps like a positive attitude. Well done!

Exactly. After 2 ... ( 10 months ago by ZZZushi)

Exactly. After 2 failed attempts, I was prescribed 3 different 'medications'. But only when I stopped taking them did I feel more balanced. I still feel as bad as ever now, but at least I know that medication doesn't help me. I was more suicidal on it than off. People think that because you don't fit in their little box of ideas, that you are mentally ill.

After watching your video what came to mind was one of my Teachers said our battle is not a physical onet it's a spiritual battle. I got to thinking while you spoke that mental illness may really mean Spiritual Sickness? I don't know just a thought. I guess I'll just not worry and I choose to be happy. :)

Agreed, I have ... ( 4 months ago by ItsMargie)

Agreed, I have seasonal affective disorder and depression and I have learned to watch myself closely. I take anti-depressants immediately when I feel that onset of deep depression because sadly it can lead to worse things, I at times cannot live without anti-deppressants. I have learned to live despite that fact that I do really have a biological disorder I know this. Anti depressants when I feel the onset of my manic deppression I take them immediately to stop a further decline love Margerie

I know that when Dec to March comes around to always have my prescriptions filled cause this is the worst time of the year and seems that way every year for me. Chritamas and after Christmas and January for some reason, I really have to be sure I am stocked with anti deppressants so yes I am learning I am learning to nip my issue in the bud before it degenerates. I know I have learned to watch myself and realize what is going on now and I am so much more happier.

"what you say is not borne out in the literature" I guess that depends on who's literature your reading. All this video is is me reading "literature" from sources like the CDC, The President's Commission on Mental Health, The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, etc. I agree with you that the literature in video isn't borne out in reality. But that's why I made the video, to point out how the concept of "recovery" has been twisted to means something else.
