RE: Psychiatry: Moving From Ice Pick Lobotomies and Chains Into a Brighter Future
What a brilliant opening with Giovanna's story.
Gosh, the horrors that were considered treatment earlier make my skin crawl.
Super informative. While mental health and psychiatry are definitely evolving, more people are also finding the voices to explain what they feel. It's still difficult to trust medication, especially considering the horrible effects of the previously popular ones.
Thank you. Giovanna's story breaks your heart, doesn't it? Represents so much suffering by so many people. As far as being skeptical, I'm with you. It's very hard to trust life to the skill and ethics of someone else. And yet, from time to time, we must. Thanks for reading that very long post :)
