Anti-Psychotic Medications Shrink The Brain by 10 Percent
This raises important questions about the long-term effects of antipsychotic medications on brain health.
- Brain Volume Reduction: Psychotropic drugs can reduce brain volume by 8 to 11 percent, as revealed in studies on Macaque monkeys published in PubMed and the journal Nature.
- Misleading “Chemical Imbalance” Theory: The concept of a “chemical imbalance” in mental health has been debunked by scientific research yet is still used to justify the prescription of psychotherapy drugs.
- Significant Impact on Brain Structure: Chronic exposure to antipsychotic medications, such as haloperidol and olanzapine, causes notable decreases in brain weight across various brain regions.
- Need for Further Research: The study highlights the necessity for more comprehensive research into the long-term effects of antipsychotic medications on brain health, potentially leading to improved treatment strategies for mental illnesses.
A psychiatrist is blowing the whistle on how no psychiatrists warn their patients about how psychotropic drugs can shrink the brain by 8 to 11 percent, as revealed in clinical trials run on Macaque monkeys and published in Pub Med and the journal Nature. Got anxiety, depression, insomnia, ADD, ADHD, or schizophrenia? How would you like to shrink your brain in order to attempt to “treat” the symptoms? Be sure to ask your doctor if shrinking your brain by one tenth is right for you. Maybe that’s why they call them “shrinks.”
