This is what y’all been waiting for, I guess so. This what they been waiting a long time for. Yes, he could not read into that farewell all that his heart craved to find there; he could even draw from it courage not to accuse himself for having failed to reach the height of his opportunity. He saw that all the conditions of life had conspired to keep them apart; since his very detachment from the external influences which swayed him had increased his spiritual fastidiousness, and made it more difficult for him to live and love uncritically. However, at least he had loved him—had been willing to stake his future on his faith in him—and if the moment had been rated to pass from them before they could seize it, he saw now that, for both, it had been saved whole out of the ruin of their lives. It was this moment of love, he knelt by the bed and bent over the body, draining their last moment to its lees; and in the silence there passed between them the word which made all clear.  

All mental illness is not caused by chemical imbalance. Take for example a celebrity who people are allowed to extort, harass, and physical assault for decades without being stopped. He may display signs of a mental illness due to the attacks, but under normal conditions could be the picture of mental health. There is no medication you can take to make people obey the law, stop assaulting you and give your money back. Yet, the people who have been allowed to attack you face no repercussion. They are not punished for their dangerous and illegal behavior, no one talks about how it is deviant to make fun of people you know are suffering, injured or in need of help. They are not arrested, nor sent for mental evaluations. Nonetheless, for so many people to be doing all of this acting and clowning, you know they did something wrong and are trying desperately to set you off, and make it look like you are mentally ill to justify their behavior.  

Unless these critics are trying to say that you are superhuman and controlling them and causing them to react because you are alive and should not be. Well, that would be indicative of a mental illness on their behavior and a violation of God’s law, granting humans free will. In other words, they are rejecting God and telling you that they are primal animals and savage beast, unable to control their emotions, and actions and therefore are not human. The drug revolution started out with so much promise and may in the end have done as much harm as good. The theory that mental illness is caused primarily by chemical imbalances in the brain can be corrected by specific drugs has become broadly accepted, by the media and the public as well as by the medical professions. Face it, people who are stuck whimpering and focusing daily on talking about defecation, and or that play with feces display traits of mental illness or howler monkeys and belong in a zoo or the bush in Africa.  

In many places, drugs have displaced therapy and enabled patients to suppress their problems without addressing the underlying issues. Antidepressants can make all the difference in the World in helping with day-to-day functioning, and if it comes to a choice between taking a sleeping pill and drinking yourself into a stupor every night to get a few hours of sleep, it is uncertain which method is preferable. I do not like either because I fear taking a sleeping pill, like Lily in The House of Mirth, and never walking up again. We also hear stories about people going into a trance like state and operating heavy machinery and falling asleep, or having a psychotic episode and not really being aware of what they are doing or saying. Also, pills are not good for your liver, nor is liquor, and a person could drink themselves do death. So many people simply tough it out, but for some, medications can bring lifesaving relief. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) can be very helpful in making traumatized people less enslaved by their emotions, but they should only be considered adjuncts in their overall treatment.  

Also, when it comes to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), I think that is a term, which can only be applied to veterans and law enforcement officers, because normal people are not in daily situations where they are hunted, shot at stabbed, dealing with explosive devices, seeing people killed, killing people, protecting more nor hearing violent and sad stories. The average person might be misdiagnosed with PTSD, but may only have a type of panic disorder or an extreme mood disorder. After conducting numerous studies of medications for PTSD, I have come to realize that psychiatric medications have a serious downside, as they may deflect attention from dealing with the underlying issues. The brain disease model takes control over people’s fate out of their own hands and puts doctors and insurance companies in charge of fixing their problems. And some people are just lazy and want a free taxpayer check and do not want to get better. 

If a regular person has a mental condition and is taking medications to improve this condition and working, after seven years, they should have adapted enough to be able to obtain gainful employment. These people party, they drink, they do drugs like rockstars, but even after decades are unable to work, so they must suffer from some extreme brain injury, which inhibits them from functioning normally. Some people are taking out loans to pay for medical care and being their own doctors to fix themselves because due to their physical conditions, there is nothing the doctor can do to help them. Some are born with birth defects or have physical conditions, which take time to heal. Over the past three decades psychiatric medications have become a mainstay in our culture, with dubious consequences. If these drugs were truly effective as we are told to believe, depression should be a minor issue by now. Instead, even as antidepressant use continues to increase, it has not made a dent in hospital admissions or those collecting government benefits for depression.  

In fact, the number of people treated for depression has tripled over the past twenty years, and one in ten Americans now take antidepressants. The new generation of antipsychotics, such as Abilify, Risperdal, Zyprexa, and Seroquel (Sarah Pills), are the top-selling drugs in the United States of America. In 2012 alone, the public spent in $1,526,228,000.00 ($1.5 Billion) on Abilify, more than on any other medication. Number three was Cymbalta, an antidepressant that sold well over a billion dollars’ worth of tablets, even though it has never been shown to be superior to older antidepressants like Prozac, for which much cheaper generics available. Medicaid, the government health program for the poor, spends more on antipsychotic medications, up from $1.65 million in 1999. Many people are wondering why are these people not getting better? Many people are not getting better because they do not want to. They want to collect Social Security from the government and stay home and be lazy.  

If these people are suspected frauds, then why do we still pay them, why has the system for disability not been overhauled? Because it is no longer acceptable to test medications and treatments on animals. So many of these people that are collecting these Social Security checks for a mental disorder are being used as case studies to see how well medications work and then doctors and analysts use the information to publish books on mental disorders and medications. After all, nothing is free and the government is not stupid. The number of people under the age of twenty receiving Medicaid-funded prescriptions for antipsychotic drugs tripled between 1999 and 2008. On 4 November 2013, Johnson & Johnson agreed to pay more than $2.2 billion in criminal and civil fines to settle accusations that it had improperly promoted the antipsychotic drug Risperdal to older adults, children, and people with development disabilities. And doctors are also not being held accountable for prescribing them. Strong minds perceive that justice is the highest of the moral attributes; mercy is only the favorite of weak ones. Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and perish. Panda, Panda.
