I'm still dealing with the repercussions from psychiatric drugs I was prescribed as an adult and have been off of for years already- I can't imagine what children are going through. I'm grateful for the pandemic in as much as it really woke me up to the heinousness of the medical industrial complex. My kids won't be subjected to the same sufferings under my watch. Thank you so much for speaking out and helping families!
This needs to be on the front page of the NY Times. Here’s what I’m struggling to understand. We hear ad naseum that we are in the midst of a mental health crisis. Is it that our kids are truly increasingly depressed and anxious or are they being incorrectly and over diagnosed? I suspect the latter or some mix of the two.
When I was in high school (2017/8) my therapist at the time put me on a cocktail of psych drugs (without my parents’ consent) that made my life an almost unlivable hell. We later learned that she had prescribed me over TWICE the recommended dosage for my age and weight, did not inform me of any side effects/interaction risks, and offered no exit plan/strategy. This practice is absolutely predatory and I really hope to see more crackdowns on this in the near future.
I think there are a lot of elements needed to restore emotional harmony, such as limiting behaviours that provoke 'comparomania,' walking in nature, teaching girls how to have intimate friendships without enmeshment, teaching girls the positives of being an introvert if that is their temperament, teaching girls the importance of relationship boundaries especially with friends who have dominant personalities, getting hormones measured, low progesterone can result in high cortisol levels and anxiety, how to eat for hormonal balance, how alcohol causes hormonal imbalances, consequences of promiscuity on the CNS, the dark side of pornography, appreciation for the dynamic and feminine aspects of the psyche and how it shifts over time, the cost of trying to fit into a career paradigm that is more suited to the male psyche, the importance of an emotionally safe home environment which includes deep listening etc......
All psych drugs are neurotoxic and a catastrophe to the beautiful intricate brain. Complex societal and behavioral issues are not solved by “magic” pills. Big Pharma is winning big time at the expense of our precious children. Another important piece that deserves widespread attention about the need to completely revamp approaches to emotional care!

The bigger issue for girls is how to navigate around a patriarchal system intent on enslaving them in the 'feminine' role. Thanks for this post.
