The Basic Four Brain-Disabling Principles

All biopsychiatric treatments share a common mode of action the 

Pharmacologists speak of a drug s therapeutic index, the dosage ratio between the beneficial effect and the toxic effect. The first brain-disabling principle of psychiatric treatment reveals that the toxic dose is the therapeutic dose—that brain disability causes the seemingly therapeutic effect. This same principle applies to electroshock and psychosurgery. 

The brain-disabling principle states that as soon as toxicity is reached, the drug begins to have a psychoactive effect that is, it begins to affect the brain and mind. Without toxicity, the drug would have no psychoactive effect. 

Psychoactive drugs, including psychiatric drugs, vary in their toxicity. However, all of the major categories of psychiatric drugs—antidepressants, stimulants, tranquilizers (antianxiety drugs), mood stabilizers, and anti-psychotics—are neurotoxic. They poison neurons, and sometimes destroy them. 

All biopsychiatric interventions cause generalized brain dysfunction.
