Claim against psychiatric drugs
Peter Gotzshe claims that Psychiatric drugs are doing us more harm than good and this is against what the experts and studies says so the claim is false.
The results were expressed by Peter Gotsche, Professor and Director of the Nordic Cochrane Center in Denmark in a discussion in the British Medical Journal. It is strongly opposed by many mental health experts. However, others say the controversy over the use of psychiatric drugs is important and acknowledge that there is an overuse of antipsychotics to calm aggressive patients with dementia.
Gotscha says that more than half a million people over the age of 65 die from the use of psychiatric drugs each year in the Western world. He writes: “Their benefits must be enormous to justify this, but they are insignificant.
The fact is Depression is one of the mental disorders that can be treated with antidepressant medications, and according to studies, a very large percentage of people with depression get rid of it through them, as taking antidepressant medications changes brain chemistry and helps in feeling better. Antidepressants do not cause madness or major health problems.
