More then 70 years ago, we had the patients with mental illness where they would receive lobotomy
less then 70 years ago, we had the experimental treatments and rise of bad medicine and therapies.
around 40 years ago, we had the new AP, and some early new therapies and the rise of UN conventions on the people with disability RIGHTS
Less then 30 years ago, new medicine and more therapies and more rights. much better ones
This new age, new better medicine, newer better therapies and more rights.
The illness never changed in the process maybe just with few differences
But we can tell the lobotomy patient is screwed for life.
we can say the patient with experimental treatments is screwed for life.
we can say a lot of things differ from patients in each of this âperiodsâ.
i look at young people <20 who are mentally ill and they act different then me or my mid twenties peers with MI and so am i vs someone 40+ years or that someone vs 60+ years.
But the illness never changed. at itâs core itâs the same illness. the people view changed. the therapies and medicine changed. and each period leaves itâs mark on people in a way or another.
you an say itâs the age difference, it might be that too. I am just wondering what new therapies and treatments are out there now? so i can keep up with the times
Im not a keen follower of reading recent news but I think neuroplasticity is a new concept debated actively since around 2015. Basically theys argue if brain is not a hardware which never changes.
I donât think psychedelics are related to neuroplasticity. What I read wasâŚthere were cases that a doctor healed himself who suffered from physical pains from an accident. He tried to vividly âvisualizeâ something and as a result he rewired his brain synapses. Because visualization and pain, those brain areas are the same, so by visualizing, he didnât give much resources to pain but made it to use its resources into visualizations.
so many illneses we canât cure, storms, famine, drought, floods, shortages of food and water , rivers drying up, empty acidic oceans, desertification, deforestation, temperature extremes, breakdown of society, mass migrations and war
this will have a knock on effect on reliable medicine
we will probably suffer worse than an average alpha male with dogs will
who can fight
20 years away
50 years away
on a lighter note
A few months ago I heard there was a new med arriving fairly soon (all final tests now) which takes care of agitation that seems to go with schizophrenia⌠This has been a pretty huge one for me forevermore
If I can find out what itâs called Iâll probably take it when itâs ready
