I'm sure it depends wildly on region and class status, but parent comment is largely correct in parts of USA.
Haldol, Thorazine, and Depakote are older but still widely used, even for disorders like bipolar. Even atypical antipsychotics are still life-changing, personality altering, potentially diabetes-inducing heavy handed tools. You yourself admit the side effects are horrible. It's far from FUD. Be glad your family member is getting appropriate treatment.
- dsego 7y agoHow is the parent both right and I should be glad my family member is getting treatment? This doesn't make sense. If the treatment is worse and used to control undesirable thought patterns (that's what the parent claims) than surely you mean to say the alternative is better? Ie, letting the illness take its course and the delusional thinking set in. Or what are you saying? Because it doesn't make much sense to me.
