About this listen
Three-hundred-fifty billion annually in psychiatric drugs, but where is the help or improvement in the people? Where is the science? No biological test to prove anyone has a disorder.
ECT - no one knows "how it works". With no US federal regulations on it. Where is the US FDA with this?
What is TMS? Do doctors diagnose people with disorders using a quiz?

Trauma is a fact of life.

Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, one of the world’s foremost experts on trauma, has spent more than three decades working with survivors. In The Body Keeps the Score, he uses recent scientific advances to show how trauma literally reshapes both body and brain, compromising sufferers’ capacities for pleasure, engagement, self-control, and trust.

Today, we are told that medical interventions increased our lifespan and single-handedly prevented masses of deaths. But is this really true? Dissolving Illusions details facts and figures from long-overlooked medical journals, books, newspapers, and other sources. Using myth-shattering information, this book shows that vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical interventions are not responsible for the increase in lifespan and the decline in mortality from infectious diseases.

Story
In the late 1800s, a new disease arrived in North America from Europe and began to claim the lives of children everywhere. Though most today have never even heard of this illness, it would routinely kill over 10,000 children in a single year - more than the polio might take in an entire decade. After much trial and tribulation, a shot was developed that helped both those already afflicted with the illness, and those who might one day become infected. But the shot was dangerous, and many parents refused it for their children.

Interesting Resource
I came across this audiobook “Persistent Self-Help or OCD, PTSD? A Controversial Review of Disorders, ECT, TMS, and Other Psychiatric Products“, which is great because I was open in trying to listen to something outside my fave genres. With this audiobook I am able to have a title I can listen to with regards to Psychiatry as well as ECT and TMS, which I currently am researching about.

nice warning
I was not very familiar with this subject, but this book gave me a lot of understand of problems with drugs and the phycology with children, that was a nice warning of how to proceed in the case of problem. As the author said we should help others even as simply as by sharing information that can save or improve someone else live, in this case children.

Wonderful Insight to Mental Health
I absolutely, 100%, loved listening to the audiobook on Persistent Self-Help or OCD, PTSD. While the narrator was reading I felt as we were speaking one on one. I was and still am fascinated with the information that was provided. I am a 2nd year Nursing student. Mental Health was one of my best, most difficult subjects. In my opinion, this book should be integrated into the curriculum of all Mental Health Professionals.
While I will try my best not to spoil too much of the information in this book for others to enjoy. MOST MDs are quick to prescribe medications to treat a mental health disorder "symptom" rather than do more tests to look into the problem. I myself can attest to this. I was diagnosed with anxiety 5 years ago and prescribed Ativan a benzodiazepine which is a highly addictive drug. It only treated the symptoms but also had horrible side effects. Rather than becoming dependent on Ativan, I stopped taking it and treated the problem myself and won. I'm not all at all saying to stop taking a drug for a mental health disorder because doing so, without a doctor's approval, can cause other issues. This is just what worked for me. Plus, I did a lot of research into alternative treatment options such as exercising often and eating healthier.
The info on ECT is correct though and this " treatment " does produce horrible side effects which is a must-read in this book along with other insightful information.
I plan on recommending this book to my Mental Health Professor to read, she would also find this book fascinating. I considered it a personal honor reading this book and thank you for sharing your many years of research.

Very interesting and helpful!
This book is very interesting since I had a lot of problems with anxiety and depression. I still have depression and anxiety problems, but I have them under control. I don't like pills, and I would never use them. Thanks to the author for this beneficial information, and I agree drugs only mask the problem.
