Curated for #naturalmedicine (by @vincentnijman) - Wow! Thanks for sharing this with us. This is quite the story. My father has been in the nut-house / psychiatry ward for two weeks after open heart surgery and too much morphine and then mania leading to psychosis. I visited him there twice a day, back in 2009. Not sure if a decade and a half of depression and antidepressants also played a role in his case.
Nevertheless, having been on two sides of the psychiatric ward ( both as a patient and working there ), like you have, sounds pretty insane. You could write an interesting book on that, for sure.
Then again, what is insane and what is sane these days? Does anyone know? ;<)
I admire the fact that you tried to get off these meds yourself and thank you, once again, to put stories like these under our attention.
Take care!
