Awake!, “Mental Illness—Is There a Cure?”
“Why, then, look upon patients who use these medications as weak-minded or as drug addicts? Antipsychotic drugs are not addictive, do not make patients high, and are not taken for pleasure.”
Part of an issue-length treatment headed 'Taking the Mystery out of Mental Illness'. It follows a woman through electroshock therapy, hospitalisation and antipsychotic medication, quotes NIMH researchers, treats schizophrenia as a disease of brain chemistry, and cautions against 'sensational claims' for alternative treatments including orthomolecular psychiatry.
