The government has probably spent $150,000 to $200,000 hurting my girlfriend since last September. She's less functional now, on psychiatric drugs, than she was over the 2015 labor day weekend (when she decided to quit using the street pharmacy cold-turkey).
I've recently come to appreciate that the psychiatrists' drugs - "anti-psychotics" and anxiety medications - actually create the conditions they treat. "Iatrogenic Psychosis" - I wonder what the ICD-10 code for that is. (technically the term is 'supersensitivity psychosis': http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3736929/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3736929/ )
She was doing pretty well, until she got the SSRI antidepressant she thought she needed. This caused rapid heartbeat, which led to anxiety. She took her last anxiety pill, "fell apart", and the system got hold of her again.
