Our society is so controlled by so many things such as the need to feel good, look good” and “perform well.” We have turned into a society of “medicated freaks.” In this article we will try to define some of the problems we as a civilized society are faced with, in regards to the illness of bipolar and bipolar medication.
The First Problem ” Pressures”
One of the big problems is, teachers and everybody else are advising parents for their children to go on medication because we would like to have what we call a cookie cutter classroom.” Everybody left and right these days are self taught authorities” in diagnosing problems with children, which is very frightening. If that is not frightening enough, over half of the parents were advised by the so called” authorities have insisted their pediatrician put the child on medication. These children were put on drugs because of pressures from non professional.
ProblemTwo ” Quick Fix”
Instead of working at de-stressing our lives, we take a pill and if its not better in one hour, we double the dose. Actually we are not giving time for a headache to heal slowly. Or if our little son sneezes we rush for the childrens cough and cold medications. If they don’t like the flavor we must run out and get the right flavor. We don’t give the body a chance to work on what is causing the sneeze; its probably from some dust. Instead we pump the child up with every sort of medication.
Third Problem ” Wrong Diagnosis
We find that a lot of doctors are fast in prescribing strong medication to very young children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder ( ADHD). In a lot of cases it may cure the present illness, sometime other symptoms which were not present resurface, so other drugs is given. This can be compared to the person who swallowed a fly and to get the fly she had to take in the spider to catch the fly and the rat to get rid of the spider. Most doctors are too proud to admit that they they are lost in their diagnosis and so pump medication after medication, stimulants and ant stimulants, antidepressants and antipsychotics into the young child’s body.
Fourth Problem ” Availability of Drugs
Because the present society is hooked with immediate gratification, the easy excess of drugs adds wood to the fire. Most of us who have the money to burn want the fix it NOW problem. Instead of becoming patient, we become very impatient to what is happening in our body.The body must be helped to use its own natural ability to fight its problems.
Fifth ” Money
All of us including pharmaceuticals are so obsessed with money and so want to sell to get the money whatever the cost. Most doctors dealing with medicine do not really know the real power of bipolar medications. Nearly all those who make these drugs and those giving it are all driven by making more money. While this may insult some people, but I think all of us are fed up with this money thing.
Parting words
After all that is being said and before you run off to the chemist for your medications or your children s, it would be a good idea to just sit down and try another approach. It is the non medication approach which a lot of parents have done and proven successful. You bipolar children are precious that must not be pumped up by any medication we can lay our hands on.
