Do drug companies dominate psychiatric treatments at the expense of therapies?
Post Traumatic Stress and Post Disaster Stress Disordes in distress
Contemporary Traumathology may be in the hands of the transnational pharmaceptical companies, thus potentiating the conservative structures of psychiatric treatment at the expense of progressive therapies such as Eye MovementDesensibilization Reprocessing, EMDR in combination with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy or Dialectic Behaviour Therapy.'
Regretfully the interdepedency of the physicians and the companies is a hard act to follow. Research is ample but profitfocused. As long as personal disorders can be desenisbilized by chemicals psychiatry is caught in a strict biological mindset of flabbergasting orthodoxy.
Modern research gives at hand that an early implementation of the EMDR technique and a follow up with Cognitive Behaviour (CBT) or Dialectic Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (DBT) training of avoidence and phobic disorders may result in a more dramatic recovery of coping strategies and a reduced risk of recidiving bouts of trauma related physical and psychological symtoms.
Much to my personal dismay I find that the obvious is also the most provocative. By implementing non-pharmaceuptical therapies strong financial interests are being challenged.
It must not be an either or yet. Counsellors and responsible physicians obviously have reasons to be optimistic regarding a breakthrough in the treatment of these vulnerable and marginalized target groups which until today are drugged to a degree that no selfproduced copying strategies can develop at all.
Thus the victim of heavy trauma is doomed to survive in a blur or experience heavy anxiety and severe stress generated illnesses.
The syndrome creates a family conglomerate of victims, all stratified to combat the prevailing suffering and to protect the victim, thus enslaving the whole family and potentiating the curse of interngenerationality by perpuating the behaviour and anxieties in the children.
The interdependency of the family group prohibits the individual to invest in a career of his own and illness is the principal glue that incarcerate each individual of the unity. Careers are built on illness as a means of supporting the family financially due to the generous General Health Insurance,
Social stigma and isolation not only cause immense sacrifies and collective suffering but also turns out to be a financial burden of immense proportions to the public sector, thus polarizing the means of interactions of the host and immigrated ethnic groups.
Social Anthropology must, as a social agent of importance of lobbyism and influence, contribute to give a voice to the lost and forlorne and return to the frontiers of social developement and progress within the field of psychiatric, psycosocial and somatic traumagenerated illnesses. It is far to quiet.
Lets join forces and put the phenomenon on the Agenda where it belongs before generations of victims are institutionalized and petrified by the lack of responsible descisionmaking and social courage.
