Case Manager/Trauma Informed Primary Care Coordinator for Quality Healthcare Improvement
This documentary film exposes the dark side of pharmaceuticals in the treatment of depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, PTSD, and a host of other symptoms that one would normally associate with trauma, grief, stress, or burnout. One of the most dangerous narratives in our society is this notion that if one is not happy or upbeat, there is something automatically wrong with them. And as an individual who spent most of their life experiencing mild depression and anxiety and even more recently, as a survivor of Narcissistic Abuse, Scapegoating, Organized Stalking & Harassment, I’ve only become more and more convinced that our society itself is what is truly toxic and that is what is making us sick. Our society fails to understand that healing from trauma or grief or PTSD is a process just like everything and unfortunately, people can be profoundly changed once impacted by certain events or experiences. What is most disturbingly clear as highlighted in this documentary film is the number of people who have been harmed through misdiagnosis or through the prescribing of one or more medications that produced side effects that lowered quality of life or worsened symptoms and behaviors or increased depression or suicidal ideations.
