While they do appear to focus attention on therapy, he indicates "Today, great leaps forward in understanding disorders of the brain – mental disorders and substance use disorders – have revolutionized treatments. New pharmacologic treatments are coming along almost weekly."<br /><br />Disorders of the brain? The new pharmacolgical treatments are exactly like the old. Older neuroleptic drugs that have come off patent are reconfigured to maintain lucrative revenue streams. For example Paliperidone is simply Respiridone repackaged and repatented.<br /><br />When someone can provide a diagnostic test that allows us to view these "brain disorders" under a microscope I might consider the "brain disorder" theory. Show me schizophrenia in a petri dish and you might get my attention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894514913516471357.post-25543830762916055482010-02-16T12:17:31.803-08:002010-02-16T12:17:31.803-08:00I read on the website Bridgette here links us to:

Treatments there tend to be medically oriented and the stay is typically short.<br /><br />Patients who are ready for more psychological and behavioral interventions <i>can</i> be treated in our residential Transitional Living Programs, where there is more openness and the treatment course is longer." (my emphasis)<br /><br />Read: When we, behind the locked doors of our inpatient unit, successfully have drugged the last bit of resistance out of you, and some solid chemical restraints into you - which, thanks to Zyprexa&Co. is a small business - you're allowed back in fresh air, and we're even prepared to offer you a little small talk about coping strategies like how to remember to take your meds. Yeehah! Look at all those happy people on the site! Isn't it just touching?...<br /><br />I don't think, Bridgette here really has <i>read</i> your blog before she dropped her comment.Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273435151682585281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894514913516471357.post-80997625220860439292010-02-14T13:20:37.552-08:002010-02-14T13:20:37.552-08:00Sometimes when I read texts like this one, I wonde...Sometimes when I read texts like this one, I wonder if the author truly believes what he's saying, and, if so, how on earth it is possible. I mean, if someone's going to address the Ontario Legislature you'd suppose they've done their homework before doing so, wouldn't you? And if they've done their homework, how can they come up with such a load of... - well, scientifically completely untenable statements about "schizophrenia"???Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273435151682585281noreply@blogger.com
