Psychiatric drugs as
agents of Trauma by Charles L. Whitfield (International Journal of Risk &
Safety in Medicine 22 (2010) 195–207 DOI 10.3233/JRS-2010-0508 IOS Press)
Abstract. Drawing on the work of numerous psychiatrists and
psychopharmacologists and my own observations, I describe how most common
psychiatric drugs are not only toxic but can be chronically traumatic, which I
define in some detail throughout this paper. In addition to observing this
occurrence among numerous of my patients over the past 20 years, I surveyed 9
mental health clinicians who had taken antidepressant drugs long-term. Of these
9, 7 (77%) experienced bothersome toxic drug effects and 2 (22%) had become
clearly worse than they were before they had started the drugs. Based on others’
and my observations I describe the genesis of this worsened condition which I
call the Drug Stress Trauma Syndrome. These drug effects can be and are often so
detrimental to the quality of life among a distinct but significant minority of
patients that they can no longer be considered trivial or unimportant. Instead,
they are so disruptive to many patients’ quality of life that
their effect becomes traumatic, and are thereby agents of trauma. These
observations and preliminary data may encourage others to look into this matter
in more depth.
