Polypharmacy with psychiatric medications is especially harmful to children. I have seen pediatric patients taking up to 12 psychotropic medications. In all these cases, polypharmacy correlated with neglecting a child's basic needs (educational, sensory, emotional, etc.).

American academia has long been a part of the 'remaking of America.' It is the academics' civil responsibility to recognize it. And, if they find courage, resist it.

In 1943, martial arts master G. Funakoshi presciently described the state of psychotherapy training today:

โ€œThey are playing around in the leaves and branches of a great tree without the slightest concept of the trunk'

Some people will never understand depression due to the impossibility of imagining such a form of torment.
William James, who suffered depression for years, wrote of this impossibility:
โ€œIt is a positive and active anguish, a sort of psychical neuralgia wholly unknown to normalโ€ฆ

Reflecting on the current state of collective hope is a good place to start for American psychiatry. The Sacklers showed American psychiatrists how to capitalize on hope. Corporate marketing slogans have replaced the message of hope so that people often mistake one for another.

'cruel lack of caring'

The crisis of American psychiatry reflects the crisis of values in American society. It would be highly naive and irresponsible to think that psychiatry does not reflect the values of the society it is a part of.
