I present the hazards of so-called antipsychotic drugs including Zyprexa, Risperdal, Abilify, Seroquel, Geodon and Invega. Learn about their disastrous and even fatal effects, and their lack of efficacy. Learn about tardive dyskinesia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome, and the metabolic syndrome. And discover that there are far better empathic approaches to helping people who are deeply disturbed and labeled schizophrenic. Also a warning: Withdrawing from these drugs can be dangerous as well, and requires caution and good clinical supervision. This hour could save your life and the lives of your patients or clients.
