‘I had to do an 80-mile trip’: the stress caused by the 'New Normal' of drug shortages in UK

#BrexitBenefit

Patients have described the effect on their health and wellbeing of the “new normal” of drug shortages in the UK, which has led to three-month delays and 80-mile round trips to acquire #medication.

“I do have friends who have been struggling to get antidepressants and ADHD medication, and the delays I’ve experience has made me concerned for if I would experience medication #shortages for something more serious in the future.”

Can You #Cure #Mental #Illness? Two Centuries of Trying Says No.

Two hundred years of research and theorizing have not resolved the most basic differences of opinion among #psychiatry’s practitioners as to whether what was once derisively called “madness” is a brain disease amenable to a purely medical treatment, such as insulin #therapy or psychosurgery, or something engendered by a more complicated mix of factors. If, for instance, mental illness is based on the input of both nature and nurture, it might benefit from the talking cure—or, more likely, the talking cure in conjunction with #medication.
