Ramaswamy Claims ‘Faith-Based Approaches’ Are ‘Better Ways’ to Treat Mental Illness Than Medication
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said mental illness may be best treated using "faith-based approaches" as opposed to pharmaceuticals.
He gets so close-
Violent crime has risen over precisely the period we have shuttered these psychiatric institutions. And you know what? The number one psychiatric institution today is jail. It’s prison. And they don’t do a very good job. And now you then get the calls to clear the jails or to have commuting of sentences or shortening of sentences. People leave those jails in a worse psychiatric condition, often, than when they even entered.
Yes! Yes!
We can do this again learning from past mistakes without those abuses. I don’t think I want to be pumping psychiatric institutions with pharmaceuticals into people.
Seems reasonable.
Faith-based approaches – there are better ways to do this.
Oh for fuck's sake.
And, of course, the ironic thing is that Ramaswamy is a pharma bro.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Just trying to get the idea of what you co sided mental illness
What I consider it? No, what psychiatrists consider it. That's why the DSMV exists. You know what that is, right?
No. I want to know the most common dsm5 disorder and how they would suggest it would be treated :)
That is not the subject of the discussion. If you want to know that, find out yourself.
OK... I trust u bro ;)
It has nothing to do with trusting me either. This is basic medical information you can find out for yourself without trying to get me to do it for you out of some obvious need to do some sort of gotcha. I'm not going to play that game, sorry.
