Farmabedrijf Lundbeck stopt met de levering van de geneesmiddelen Nortrilen en Redomex in België. Dit toont opnieuw de noodzaak voor structurele veranderingen.
My impression as a GP is that at least half of the anxiety I see and significant fraction of the depression would be greatly reduced without capitalism, almost all mental illness is in some way exacerbated by the stressors of capitalism. Many who currently need medication could cope with just some therapy and coaching if these stressors were removed
That said I could name a dozen of my patients off the top of my head who would find it very difficult to function normally without some medication. Admittedly some of that would be generational trauma in part contributed to by past economic stress.
If the revolution comes tomorrow we’ll be dealing with the psychic fallout of capitalism for generations and even then there will be a small number of people for whom medication is the best option.
I partially agree.

Thanks for your professional input, I really appreciate it.
Your last paragraph is especially important. I overlooked that part, although it’s obvious in retrospect.
