## Resource

Patients around the world have been discovering that the psychiatric drug their doctor or psychiatrist started them on years ago is now hijacking their lives, causing a plethora of unwanted side effects. For instance, antidepressant drugs have many potential damaging effects, including mania, violence, aggression, irritability, apathy, persistent sexual dysfunction, and a suppression of feelings of love. Antipsychotic drugs (now frequently prescribed as “sleep aids” and “antidepressants”) can cause cognitive dysfunction, including disabling “brain fog,” apathy, and physical disabilities, including the permanent movements of Tardive Dyskinesia and other debilitating conditions.
