Some people would say, "Shame on you!" for having done that to your mother. Many (so-called) "disturbed" people have very good reasons for being "disturbed". We live in societies that drive people nuts. How should we handle that? Give them medications to make OUR lives easier? It's a tough call. Did you know that, for example, people in Western countries that are diagnosed as being "schizophrenic" and are then treated with drugs recover much more slowly -- or even never recover at all -- while those who have the same symptoms but who live in less-developed countries that do NOT treat them with anti-psychotics because they don't have the money to do so actually recover, on average, in around seven years? And usually never suffer from the "disorder" again? Studies have shown that to be true. Good nutrition (which means LOTS of fresh fruits and veggies EVERY DAY) is associated with not only good PHYSICAL health, but good MENTAL health as well. Did you know that? M. |
