YOU ARE THE BEST!👍 How many years/decades before this permeates the rest of the NHS. Mental health staff where I live still don't know basic facts about voice hearing. I was prescribed neuroleptics [a better term] decades ago for anxiety. Now I have diagnoses of schitzophrenia and bipolar with onset aged 45. I am very sure that this was caused by these drugs as well as my decline in cognitive function. I am almost off all drugs now after a difficult 1.5yr taper and I have lots of physical and some psychiatric symptoms including flu-like, pain [crazy eye pain/dryness this AM from out the blue], impulse control issues, irritability and being shouted at by negative voices from moment I wake [horrid when so exhausted… NO ESCAPE.. mufflers make no difference!] BUT..... ALL is preferable to the hideous living death on the drugs.. no drive, creativity, passion interest... just a bed bound zombie on that junk. If it weren't for pathologising I'm sure I would be compensated for the NHS GIVING ME SCHIZOPHRENIA and I wouldn't live in isolation/ constant fear of homelessness/destitution.

9 minutes in. So, a few observations, /comments / questions that you won't answer. 1) there's no such thing as schizophrenia yet you continue to perpetuate the myth that there is . 2) why are these drugs also called hypnotics, and why would you give every in patient zopiclone, which is apparently well known to produce somnolence, and somnabulism even if anything the patient already slept too much. In short, you might for example give somebody 4 hypnotics at the same time. You won't explain of course, as clearly we're not worthy of being given this knowledge. Video finished, final comment, how can your surveys / studies / whatever you call them ..be accurate...when you consider, that it would seem fair to say, that to give your self the best chance of a good outcome, is to have bugger all to do with a shrink or dr
