Fascinating records which are completely ignored by USA healthcare systems while dealing with mental health; poisoning people with Lithium drugs who had no real testing on Humans!! Mind blowing data but you will still see idiots in hospital prescribed this as they really have no real knowledge, just slavers of ICD/CPT codes juggling, not healing ❤️🩹
BTW, one should consider alternative such as Āyurveda, Yoga, Meditation and Peaceful natural love 💕 and affection to treat mentally ill people IMHO 🙏💐
