The Basic Four Brain-Disabling Principles

All biopsychiatric treatments share a common mode of action the [Pg.2]

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. [Pg.2]

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. [Pg.2]

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. [Pg.2]

All biopsychiatric interventions cause generalized brain dysfunction. [Pg.2]
