No Exit Plan for Psychiatric “Treatment,” Despite Billions Spent on Drugs
December 2, 2024
While the psychiatric/behavioral health community cries for equal funding and “parity” with other medical conditions, unlike the medical field, psychiatry has never been required to practice under equal standards. Specifically, the mental health industry has never been required to provide an exit plan from its alleged drug “treatments.”
For example, when a person breaks a leg, an X-ray is taken of the suspected broken bone, the broken bone is set, and a cast is worn for six weeks. A follow up X-ray reveals the bone has healed and the cast is removed. A cast is not worn for months, years or life. Or, for instance, in the case of cancer, chemotherapy or radiation may be provided and the tumor is regularly checked for reduction. Chemotherapy and radiation are not provided for life.
