Psychedelics and MDMA must be a better option for some psychiatric disorders than the useless Psychotropic Medication they prescribe every day.

Its not good to take any Psychotropic Medications, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, stimulants, antipsychotics, and mood stabilizers for any length of time. thats why you have to have a medicine review every six months.

all of the above drugs come with serious side effects. sexual disfunction for instance.

these drugs in particular;

The SSRI's, bupropion, paroxetine, escitalopram, citalopram, venlafaxine, mirtazapine, fluoxetine and sertraline.

sold to us as a cure for "chemical imbalance", this myth manufactured by drug companies in the late 1980's to sell SSRI's to the unsuspecting public. there is no such thing as "chemical imbalance",

PSSD - post ssri sexual disfunction

In some unpublished phase 1 trials of the drugs, more than 50% of healthy volunteers developed severe sexual problems. they kept it quiet

It has taken over 30 years for drug companies to accept that SSRI's cause sexual disfunction and has finally been included in the DSM5 as PSSD, post ssri sexual disfunction.

I am nearly 70 years old. a retired psychotherapist. I should therefore know more than the average person about Psychotropic Medications.

I have taken Psychedelics for 50 years of my life and MDMA for nearly 20 years.

further:

SSRI's create a paradoxical reaction.

In other words, the drugs create the depressive symptoms experienced by the depressed patient.

It is exactly like giving a depressed patient, a depressive drug, in the hope that their brain will think it is under attack and heal itself. hence paradoxical reaction

Instead of feeling better after beginning their antidepressant prescriptions, many patients have found themselves grappling with heightened anxiety, sudden agitation, insomnia, and in severe cases, thoughts of self-harm

Some studies have been published that show that these antidepressants may deteriorate the state of the depression (make it worse) and even cause suicidal ideation or action.
