Dr. Twerski's Sober Thought - April

All Drugs Can Be Destructive

Bob was brought to our psychiatric unit in a catatonic state, mute and immobile. The following day two people from NA came to my office and said, Don't give him the medication for schizophrenics. Keep him here where he'll be safe. He'll get better, and we'll take him to a meeting every day. I don't know why I let myself be talked into this, but I did not give Bob medications. Bob not only improved, but has been normal for ten years. Sometimes it is wise to allow the brain to regain normal function after the devastating effect of the chemicals to which it had been subjected.
