Psychiatry: No Science, No Cures

I've stumbled upon some interesting videos regarding psychiatry that are worth sharing

Frankly speaking these videos are rather disturbing (and I would prefer NOT to let my patients know)... I'll be losing alot businesses if Malaysians were to know about these stuff (affects my car installments etc u know...)

Off-label treatment for insonmia

I have many patients who complain about insonmia and often I prescribe Seroquel for them. Works like charm ;)

"Seroquel causes certain rare and fatal side effects. One of them is neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS). Symptoms of this syndrome include nausea, vomiting, anxiety, agitation, insomnia, sore throat, blurred vision, stiff muscles, excessive sweating, jerky muscle movements, and sudden numbness in the muscles and decreased hunger. Certain patients using Seroquel also develop hypertension and diabetes. Another serious side effect with Seroquel is tardive dyskinesia (TD), an incurable neurological disorder characterized by uncontrollable movements of the face, tongue and other parts of the body. Tardive dyskinesia occurs due to prolonged usage of Seroquel. It is important to consult the physician when one observes any of the above symptoms."

I still prescribe Seroquel to my patients anyway. You don't really have to inform them about TD (most patients never ask anyway). It just works.

Hello and good day, I'm trying out blogging as my part time hobby...
Meantime please enjoy reading the articles I've posted here regarding psychiatry...
Hopefully you would find my articles useful and informative

In case you are wondering... it's lobotomy, a psychiatric practice used for treating various disorders such as schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders and etc

Sounds barbaric?

Well... let's just say times have changed and now we have ECTs (electroconvulsive therapy) and plenty of drugs such as antipsychotics, antidepressants, anticonvultants (plenty of anti-stuff here ;) anxiolytics, benzodiazepines etc... chemical lobotomy, perhaps?
