@robkressfrx: I’m a pharmacist. So no, I’m not telling you medication is bad. Medication can save lives. It can relieve suffering. And sometimes it’s exactly what someone needs. But it shouldn’t keep us from asking the question. If someone can’t sleep because they’re working 60 hours a week… If they’re anxious because they’re living in a relationship that feels unsafe… If they can’t concentrate because they’re overwhelmed from the moment they wake up… If they’re exhausted because they’ve been carrying everyone around them for years… Then yes, sometimes medication may help. But here’s the question: What happens if the medication works? Do we stop asking why they needed it? There’s a difference between helping someone navigate a difficult season… and helping someone become better adapted to an environment that’s slowly wearing them down. Maybe every symptom isn’t simply something to silence. Sometimes a symptom may also be information about the life that physiology is living inside. And maybe the question isn’t only: “How do we make this person feel better?” Maybe we also need to ask: “What is this person responding to?” Because sometimes the answer isn’t wrong. The question just isn’t big enough. #TheCuriousContrarian #OrientationBasedMedicine #MentalHealth #WholePersonHealth #Pharmacist
