Ramaswamy Claims ‘Faith-Based Approaches’ Are ‘Better Ways’ to Treat Mental Illness Than Medication
He gets so close-
Violent crime has risen over precisely the period we have shuttered these psychiatric institutions. And you know what? The number one psychiatric institution today is jail. It’s prison. And they don’t do a very good job. And now you then get the calls to clear the jails or to have commuting of sentences or shortening of sentences. People leave those jails in a worse psychiatric condition, often, than when they even entered.
Yes! Yes!
We can do this again learning from past mistakes without those abuses. I don’t think I want to be pumping psychiatric institutions with pharmaceuticals into people.
Seems reasonable.
Faith-based approaches – there are better ways to do this.
Oh for fuck's sake.
And, of course, the ironic thing is that Ramaswamy is a pharma bro.
While it is true that medication does not fix mental illness. Huge studies came out blowing those meds out of the water. I think diet, lifestlye, and spiritual life is best way to move forward. Most ppl do not have mental illness, they have been dragged into the cult of Big Pharma
Diet, lifestyle and spiritual life will definitely stop a bipolar person from being delusional during a manic phase.
Believed magic was real from years of untreated mania.
Now I'm depressed because I know reality isn't what I knew.
This is the dumbest shit I've ever read
