    Antipsychotic medications are widely used in ICUs, hospital wards and nursing homes. But there's no solid research showing they're effective at treating delirium, a new study says.https://n.pr/2CwsvQW

        We are all threatened by brainwashing called advertisement. There are also brainwashing crimes such as stalkers in Buddhist terrorist crimes. Symptoms of delirium may be damaged by those brainwashing terrorism. Our brain is delicate and I want to cherish it.

        They are used also for their side effects. Some have calming side effects or help with sleep.

        Sad, but true. When you get right down to it our approach to mental health and geriatric care is still rather barbaric.

        One of the difficulties in obtaining efficacy research is that these patients can’t give informed consent for clinical trials. Whoever has medical power of attorney can, but replicating ICU situations for blind trials is impossible&the research must be done onsite.

        Antipsychotic drugs, like many other drugs, make pharmaceutical companies very rich!

        They should never be used. I wound up in the hospital, after being forced to take them. They can shut off your dopamine sensor.

        Pharmacists have been ahead of this for years, that’s why dexmedatomidine exists. Why is he beating a dead horse?
