| If you are truly a clinician, I don't understand your comment. Because it's all about you, your morals and unscientific personal opinion and 0 about interest for patient outcomes. That is not the medical ethos. And it seems you actually don't have much touchpoints with modern psychiatric practice. I'd give a lot for my parents who got indication of my diagnosis at a much earlier age and never told me to act on that instead of me suffering the consequences of their failure to provide medical intervention - both with regards to broken relationships in personal and professional life, years of depression and thousands of Euros out of my own pocket to get to the point of understanding myself where I am today. As always if you start on a psychoactive medication, adult or not, you'd go trough titration to determine an optimal dose. This is closely monitored by your psychiatrist where I live. Nobody in this process has any incentive to produce sedated zombies. Everyone in this process has incentives to avoid very real human suffering.
