Questions

Why do hospitals only give medication and not other ways of treating.

Notes

This was such a good presentation! What a charismatic speaker!

To get into a psychiatric hospital you might:

  • be deemed a harm to yourself or others
  • a nursing home patient
  • patient being placed into a nursing home
  • homeless

The average stay at a psyciatric ward is 5-7 days but that is how long the insurance covers. This guy says that the health care system is forced to treat mental health illnesses only with medication. You can de-escalate people mostly.

Psychedelics rewire the brain similarly to plasticity.

Latrogenesis is nocebo-effect.
