Harsh Realities of Modern Medical World Today
Ok, bluntly speaking, by putting it in a simple, direct and straightforward way, objectively anyone with the slightest amount of general social exposures & experiences and no offences, common senses, reasonably would be able to detect and see through the obvious flaws of the modern medical systems which are obviously & overtly realistic, unfair and clearly health-care-related disadvantageous to the 2 types of persons, being both the poor & needy people and the rich and wealthy ones as well who are seeking medical treatments for any of their bodily disorders.
As such, please refer to these excerpts and explanations included below :

A) In conjunction with the bold quotations above, for the poor and not so well-to-do people who simply cannot afford to pay for the prohibitive or any "reasonable" medical fees for the purpose of treating and dealing with any of the serious / chronic bodily disorders that they are suffering painfully from, well, these pitiful people would most of the times, just simply and directly be kept out from the doorsteps of the related doctors' clinics / premises / medical establishments in the very first place, not to mention to get access to the related treatments or medications they need to relieve and cure their bodily disorders. Then the key question arising here is such that which are more important to the doctors ? Money or human lives ?

In such a connection, in terms of the landmark & prominent Tardive Dyskinesia symptom of abnormally rapid eyelid twitching / eye blinking as described and mentioned above, since the eyelids' organ-movements-related neurotransmitters chemicals - dopamine produced by the nerve cells / neurons are totally transparent while the eye nerves / brain cells remain undamaged, the MRI / CT-scannings would thus not be able to show and detect anything abnormal and unusual at all for their Blepharospasm / chronic eye blinking / eyelid twitching disorders, and then almost in all cases, their Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twithcing / eye blinking disorders would then be labelled "accordingly" as "undiagnosable" / "unexplainable" by the related mainstream medical personnel, and then they are suggested to get surgery / perpetually continual Botox injections to deal with such chronic neuromuscular and visually-incapacitating disorders.
Next, that's consider the ones who have all the financial means to get any whatever medical treatments they want from any doctors, medical specialists, therapeutical experts etc. Well, for the particular scenario elaborated above which has obviously and apparently been experienced by the related persons seeking treatments for any of their complicated bodily disorders, one key point and question that would certainly be worthy to be considered and pondered over is such that - In terms of the doctors getting and taking the medical fees from their customers, well, have these doctors actually fully done & fulfilled their professional parts & responsibilities in the cases whereby when these doctors just "apparently fail to diagnose anything with their medical equipment etc", and then for the sake of their personal and other miscellaneous long-term profiteering purposes, just simply, directly and totally ignore their medical ethics, by keeping and hiding the underlying truths from their medical-fees-paying customers and then just straightaway recommend and convince them to put themselves onto something else / other medications perpetually for life so as to be able to continue earning profitable medical fees out of them from time to time. Whilst the question arising here is that, under such scenarios, which one is more important for the doctors ? The doctors' personal & miscellaneous other long-term profiteering goals or the health-cares, medical well-beings and welfares of their medical-fees-paying customers ?
Lastly, with all due respects, I mean no offences about the points of facts made above, but neverthelesss, these harsh realities remain the obviously undisputed widely known naked truths that are prevailing almost ubiquitously in the modern medical world today.

Botox and Surgical Solutions For Chronic Blepharospasm ? Are - ntuc - 11-09-2011
Botox and Surgical Solutions For Chronic Blepharospasm ? Are they reasonably really sensible, rational and practical under most of the circumstances ? - Further In-depth Details
In terms of the topic of this post, well, first of all, please consider the third-party excerpts included below :
Quote:"When Botox and medications donât work, surgery to make the eye stop twitching, called myectomy, removes some of the muscles around the eye. This can be effective but is usually only used as a last resort. Physicians try Botox and medications first before recommending surgery."
A) Disadvantages of Botox medications as a solution to Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking :
With all due respects and I mean no offences, actually, Botox injections are actually composed mainly of Botulinum toxin that are in fact medical derivatives from Clostridium botulinum bacterium(which causes botulism) that have been intentionally abused before for the purpose of chemical warfare owing to its intense toxicity.
Hence, please consider the excerpts below :
"Botulinum toxin is among the most poisonous substances known. The toxin, which can be ingested or inhaled, and which disrupts transmission of nerve impulses to muscles, is naturally produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. Certain strains of C. baratii and C. butyricum can also be capable of producing the toxin.
Botulinum toxin has become well known in recent years for two reasons. First, the toxin has become a weapon in the arsenal of terrorists. Contamination of food is one route for infection with the toxin. The toxin can also be released into the air, which was attempted on at least three occasions between 1990 and 1995 by the Japanese cult Aum Shinrikyo. The government of Iraq admitted to United Nations inspectors following the 1991 Persian Gulf War that tens of thousands of liters of botulism toxin had been produced and loaded into weapons. The toxin was the most numerous of all the biological weapons then developed by Iraq.
Paradoxically, the other reason for the toxin's fame is the use of the toxin as a cosmetic enhancement (i.e., "botox")."
quoted from :
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/botox">http://www.answers.com/topic/botox</a><!-- m -->
Whilst in terms of Botox injections for chronic Blepharospasm / rapid involuntary uncontrollable & seriously unmitigated non-stop eyelid twitchings / eye blinkings, that's also a troblesome solution as one would need to take "necessary" and perpetually continual periodical Botox injections of which each injections session would last for 3 - 6 months each, and one would need to take such syringe injections of Botox medications persistently and successively for the rest of one's life to mitigate and deal with one's chronic Blepharospasm disorder.
Next, it is worthy to take note that human bodies would tend to get immune to any medications especially the ones fed to them repeatedly from time to time, including Botox, particularly the ones composed of the identical chemical components as explained above / of the same version, and that's most probably the very reason why at certain times it didn't or fail to work.
Besides, the most important point remains that given that the ones suffering from chronic Blepharospasm / rapid, involuntary, uncontrollable, purposeless eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders who choose to take perpetually periodical syringe injections of Botox medications that are administered continually and periodically to their chronically twitching / blinking eyelids, well, they are actually and continually fed with such 100 % purely poisonous chemical substances from time to time in reality for the rest of their lives.
And as such, this category of persons are thus highly and potentially exposed to, taking & running the extremely higher and higher risks from time to time of getting the related unavoidable, and possibly hardly reversible side effects of droopy, ruffled eyelids, other facial distortions etc in the end.
[b]B) Disadvantages of Surgical Solutions to chronic Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking :
Well, in terms of surgical solutions to chronic Blepharospasm / rapid, involuntary, uncontrollable, purposeless eyelid twitching / eye blinking, surgeries are highly risky, extremely complicated and expensively prohibitive for such disorders.
Whilst the most important point remains that even when the related surgeries just turn out to be 100% successful from the doctors' / medical professions' points of views, the eyelid twitching / eye blinking / eyelids conditions would by no means and by no ways be able to be fully 100 % restored to the perfectly normal conditions such as the ones before the occurences / manifestations of the chronic Blepharospasm / rapid, involuntary, uncontrollable, purposeless eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders.
In short, even after the "successful" surgeries for Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking, the conditions of the related surgerized eyelids can never and hardly be comparable to the eyelids of the other 100 % perfectly healthy and visually-normal people with no Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking problems at all.
As such, from the viewpoints of the ones taking such surgeries, the turnouts and outcomes of such surgeries for Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking would invariably be felt as unsatisfactory in the end even in the cases whereby such surgeries are considered and deemed to be "successful" from the points of views of the doctors conducting them.
This is particularly & especially true, undeniable and hardly disputable when these people taking the related surgeries just come to realize the related obvious differences when they are comparing their surgerized eyelids with the 100 % perfectly healthy and normal eyelids of the other people and persons who are not having / suffering from Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders at all.
Hence, the related problems of inferiority complex may just potentially & subsequently arise in such scenarios.
C) The Key Differences of This Simple, Self-administered, Totally Needle-free, Totally Free-Of-Charge, Painless, Harmless, Speedily Effective & Meant For 100 % Final Once-and-for-all Full Recoveries Acupuncture / Acupressure Cure / Technique For Non-stop Persistent Chronic, Uncontrollable, Involuntary, Rapid Eyelid-twitching / Eye-blinking Disorders (please refer to: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1233341">http://www.curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=1233341</a><!-- m -->)Compared To The Perpetually Continual Botox Injections & Surgical Solutions To Blepharospasm / Chronic Eyelid Twitching / Eye Blinking :
Next, in terms of this needle-free acupuncture / acupressure cure for Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders as stated in the title C above, well, the credibilities & acceptabilites of any of such self-professed effective remedy to / by any related other persons eventually would unavoidably, objectively, reasonably and naturally be subject to its genuinely unbiased effective therapeutical & curative outcomes and results as to whether such method / remedy could genuinely, effectively and efficiently deliver the desired reliefs, healings and cures to the ones having Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking in the end.
Whilst as for this simple, self-administered, totally Needle-free, totally free-Of-Charge, painless, harmless, speedily effective & meant for 100 % final once-and-for-all full recoveries acupuncture / acupressure cure / technique for non-stop persistent chronic, uncontrollable, involuntary, rapid eyelid-twitching / eye-blinking disorders as mentioned in the related prior posts above, it has empirically once-and-for-all fully 100 % completely cured countless of people worldwide who are troubled with Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching on an ongoing basis till now so far.
Next, the whole course of daily instructed simple treatments as described above for that needle-free acupuncture / acupressure cure would be within a few weeks to a few months in order for the ones with Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking to get themselves 100% fully recovered once-and-for-all in the end. And the course / duration of such daily treatments is just like doing physiology treatments whereby the amount of times needed for eventual and full 100 % recoveries would then depend on and be subject to how mild or how severe and serious one's eyelid twitching / eye blinking conditions are.
Lastly and most importantly, once the ones practicing and trying out the related suggested needle-free acupuncture / acupressure cures for Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking are 100 % fully cured once-and-for-all eventually in the end, their eyelids' conditions would then just turn out to be 100% totally no different from and be completely identical to their eyelids' conditions before getting the Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders.
In other words, having been 100 % fully cured once-and-for-all through that needle-free acupuncture / acupressure cures for Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twitching / eye blinking after several weeks and a few months depending on how mild or how severe and serious one's eyelid twitching / eye blinking conditions are, the eyelids conditions of the ones previously having Blepharospasm / eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders would then just become 100 % totally similar and identical to the perfectly healthy and normal eyelids of the ones who are not having or suffering from the Blepharospasm / eyelid twitching / eye blinking disorders at all.
D) Kindly Support These Charity and Humanitarian Causes / Totally Needle-free Acupuncture / Acupressure Cure For Blepharospasm / Chronic Eyelid Twitching / Eye Blinking
All in all, all these related posts are made with 100 % honesty & purely on charity, humanitarian and humanity grounds and I sincerely hope and wish that the related charity and humanitarian causes as explained in the related prior posts above and in this particular post would be supported and furthered by the kind and benevolent persons reading all these posts. Thank you very much.

Well, in respect of the bold characters of the remark highlighted above, naturally and rationally all the kind and benevolent persons would earnestly hope that the doctors of the modern medical world today will eventually come to realize one day that practicing medicine is simply, mainly and definitely not about profiteering and money-making alone. Anyway, as human beings ourselves, the principles of humanitarian concepts, humanity, conscience etc, well, they simply should not be ignored or deliberately compromised for the sake of money-making especially when it comes to the issue of medical conscience of the doctors practicing medicines of which its key, primary & undisputed purpose is mostly about saving human lives rather than making money to enrich themselves.

2nd excerpt (for the rich and wealthy ones) - quoted from the very first post entitled <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bettervisionforums.com/forums/showthread.php?399-Various-Possible-Medical-Causes-of-Unusual-Eyelid-Twitching-Eye-Blinking-Brief-Ex">http://www.bettervisionforums.com/forum ... g-Brief-Ex</a><!-- m --> - Various Possible Medical Causes of Unusual Eyelid Twitching / Eye Blinking - Brief Explanations made in the other related forum :
In such a connection, in terms of the landmark & prominent Tardive Dyskinesia symptom of abnormally rapid eyelid twitching / eye blinking as described and mentioned above, since the eyelids' organ-movements-related neurotransmitters chemicals - dopamine produced by the nerve cells / neurons are totally transparent while the eye nerves / brain cells remain undamaged, the MRI / CT-scannings would thus not be able to show and detect anything abnormal and unusual at all for their Blepharospasm / chronic eye blinking / eyelid twitching disorders, and then almost in all cases, their Blepharospasm / chronic eyelid twithcing / eye blinking disorders would then be labelled "accordingly" as "undiagnosable" / "unexplainable" by the related mainstream medical personnel, and then they are suggested to get surgery / perpetually continual Botox injections to deal with such chronic neuromuscular and visually-incapacitating disorders.
Next, that's consider the ones who have all the financial means to get any whatever medical treatments they want from any doctors, medical specialists, therapeutical experts etc. Well, for the particular scenario elaborated above which has obviously and apparently been experienced by the related persons seeking treatments for any of their complicated bodily disorders, one key point and question that would certainly be worthy to be considered and pondered over is such that - In terms of the doctors getting and taking the medical fees from their customers, well, have these doctors actually fully done & fulfilled their professional parts & responsibilities in the cases whereby when these doctors just "apparently fail to diagnose anything with their medical equipment etc", and then for the sake of their personal and other miscellaneous long-term profiteering purposes, just simply, directly and totally ignore their medical ethics, by keeping and hiding the underlying truths from their medical-fees-paying customers and then just straightaway recommend and convince them to put themselves onto something else / other medications perpetually for life so as to be able to continue earning profitable medical fees out of them from time to time. Whilst the question arising here is that, under such scenarios, which one is more important for the doctors ? The doctors' personal & miscellaneous other long-term profiteering goals or the health-cares, medical well-beings and welfares of their medical-fees-paying customers ?
Lastly, with all due respects, I mean no offences about the points of facts made above, but neverthelesss, these harsh realities remain the obviously undisputed widely known naked truths that are prevailing almost ubiquitously in the modern medical world today.
So, to the very least extent, should any positively humane changes & positively humane medical and ethical reforms be called for, promoted, advocated and effected at least on humanitarian grounds so as to at least mitigate all these harsh realities and scenarios described above ?

Well, on all humanitarian & humanity grounds let's just hope that the underlying life-saving functions of healthcare would not just simply end up as a mere luxury of the affordable ones to the pathetic extent that the indigent, poor and needy ones are simply and totally getting systematically deprived of it due to the very sheer reason of unaffordability.

Neurological & Neuro-degenerative Disorders of Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS) Carried By Antipsychotics / Neuroleptics That Interfere With The Miscellaneous Nervous Systems & Synaptic Activities - Detailed Explanations
Well, in connection with the topic above & the very undisputed fact that restless eyelid twitching is one of the landmark symptoms of Tardive Dyskinesia , so, please consider the excerpts below :
......In the meantime, in regard of the antipsychotics / neuroleptics as shown through the weblink above, itâs very much worth to take a special note that such dopamine antagonists medications actually, invariably and inevitably all carry such seriously irreversible cognitively-damaging neurological and neuro-degenerative side effects of Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) that include such disastrously while irreversibly serious, and yet cognitive-impairing and miscellaneous movements disorders as akinesia , Tardive dyskinesia , akathisia , acute dystonic reactions, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), and in the worst case scenario, the seriously incurable neuro-degenerative disorder of pseudoparkinsonism............
And these neurological & neuro-degenerative disorders would usually manifest disastrously and yet irreversibly onto the ones who either overly rely upon them to the point of sheer abuses or have simply taken such medications over the very long-term......
And I would like to add that all the normal bodily functions of human beings such as cognitive / thinking abilities, miscellaneous bodily movements etc are run and co-ordinated by neurons, brain cells etc through a variety of bodily neurological networks of miscellaneous nervous systems and the related synaptic activities. As such, please refer to the follows for the related details about the disastrous neurological & neuro-degenerative disorders brought upon by antipsychotics/neuroleptics:

Well as mentioned in my previous post about such dopamine antagonists medications of antipsychotics & neuroleptics which invariably and inevitably all carry such seriously irreversible cognitively-damaging neurological and neurodegenerative side effects of Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) that include such disastrously while irreversibly serious, and yet cognitive-impairing and miscellaneous movements disorders as akinesia , Tardive dyskinesia , akathisia , acute dystonic reactions, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) , and in the worst case scenario, the seriously incurable neuro-degenerative disorder of pseudoparkinsonism such as the ones fully detailed through the weblinks below :

then such dopamine antagonist medications, given their irreversibly disastrous EPS side effects, hence should not be taken totally thoughtlessly unaware, especially in terms of their dosages, durations of treatments, etc, or maybe even unnecessarily in certain cases over the long-term without any discretionary precautions being taken at all against the potential manifestations of any of their disastrous neurological / neurodegenerative side effects as mentioned above.
And in all cases, such dopamine antagonist medications simply should not be overly relied upon to the point of sheer abuses . In short, it is simply undisputed that antipsychotics / neuroleptics alone are simply not the perfect or the only one & single solution to any cognitive disorders.
Whilst the ones attending to and treating these cognitively impaired persons, at least by their natural humanely moral responsibilities & medically ethical obligations should all be fully aware of such issue so as to do whatever they can to safeguard them against all these seriously irreversible cognitively-damaging neurological and neurodegenerative side effects of Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) at least on both humanity & humanitarian grounds.
Afterall, naturally and reasonably the tasks & duties of these medical personnel would be, such as naturally & reasonably expected by anyone, to do whatever they can on a well-informed and fully skillful & thoughtful basis to make sure that the medical conditions of these people they treat and attend to get better and better gradually from time to time and simply not from bad to worse.
Next, whilst such antipsychotics / neuroleptics remain essential in treating the related cognitively impaired ones, reasonably anyone would believe that as long as well-informed knowledge about both the upsides and downsides of these medications are known, whereby they are being used accordingly & solely for curative and therapeutic purposes with all the necessary precautions taken against the potential manifestations of their unwanted side effects at the same time, then the expected advantages derived from these medications would most probably outweigh their unexpected and undesirable disadvantages.

Follow-up: Dire Effects of Medication-caused Extrapyramidal Symptoms (EPS)
Quote:As such given the serious neurological and neuro-degenerative complications inherent in these antipsychotics / neuroleptics (whilst one of their invariably inevitable medication effects would be such as the one mentioned by Kriminal99, saying âBefore it was turning them into a zombie by cutting out part of their brain, now it is giving them drugs that do the same thingâ, and so, should careful discretions & considerations be exercised at all in terms of determining the intakes of such powerful mind-altering drugs which are of dopamine antagonist nature especially when it comes to deciding the issues of dosages, how long they should be taken before their dosages can be progressively reduced & finally stopped ,and such question as to whether the intakes of such medications are necessary at all based on respectively individual different cases & scenarios ?
In regard to the quotation above, please refer to the excerpts below:
Akathisia
Akathisia is closely related to dyskinesia. Akathisia is an extreme form of internal or external restlessness. It may be a complete inability to sit still, with an undeniable urge to be moving constantly. Or it may be an entirely inner feeling of jitteriness or shakiness. Akathisia can be exhausting and debilitating. In fact, severe akathisia may put an individual at risk for suicide, simply because it can be so unbearable.
Tardive akathisia refers to akathisia that occurs after long-term medication use, and may become permanent.
Dystonia
Dystonia is a muscle tension disorder involving very strong muscle contractions. These uncontrollable muscle contractions can cause unusual twisting of parts of the body, especially the neck. The condition can be extremely painful and can affect any part of the body, including the eyes. If it appears after several years of medication use, it is called "tardive dystonia," and may become permanent.
Other Extrapyramidal Symptoms
There are many more kinds of extrapyramidal symptoms. Sometimes, they resemble Parkinson's disease, with shuffling-type walking and unusual hand or finger movements. This is called "parkinsonism." Sometimes, the symptoms affect a person's ability to speak or may cause vocal tics (uncontrollable speech or other vocal sounds).
Dealing With Extrapyramidal Symptoms
It is important to know that there is help for extrapyramidal symptoms. Symptoms that appear early in treatment can be especially easy to deal with. Simply switching medications or adding a medication such as benztropine (Cogentin®) can be helpful. Since extrapyramidal symptoms can be distressing, it is important to let your healthcare provider know right away if you experience any of them.
Tardive symptoms (which appear late in treatment) may be relieved by stopping the antipsychotic medication or by adding medications to control the symptoms, although sometimes they become permanent. The best way to prevent them from becoming permanent is to let your healthcare provider know right away if you develop them.

Treatment of Extrapyramidal symptoms:
â¢The treatment for extrapyramidal symptoms include lowering the dosage of the causative agent consumed by the person and also by using an alternative medication. as quoted from: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.symptomwiki.com/extrapyramidal-symptoms">http://www.symptomwiki.com/extrapyramidal-symptoms</a><!-- m -->
Quote:Whilst as mentioned by Kriminal99 who said that âand single cases like that are used as justification to drug lots of people who aren't really dangerous.", and as such, getting all these lots of "people who aren't really dangerous" forcibly drugged by the related âmedical personnel" totally peremptorily, indiscriminately and totally thoughtlessly without even considering the necessities of doing so at all, and in all cases & scenarios, simply do not even have the slightest knowledge about the potentially disastrous and all the irreversibly neurological & neuro-degenerative side effects carried by these dopamine antagonists medications as mentioned above, which nevertheless is simply the very prevailingly unquestioned trend nowadays, well, is such a "practice" really can be deemed as something that is appropriate, rational and reasonable & morally right thing to do ? So, what says you?
Next, about the other quotation above, please refer to the second excerpts as shown below:
Extrapyramidal symptoms (EPSs), such as akathisia, dystonia, psuedoparkinsonism, and dyskinesia, are drug-induced side effects that can be problematic for persons who receive antipsychotic medications (APMs) or other dopamine-blocking agents. The clinical manifestations include a number of atypical involuntary muscle contractions that influence gait, movement, and posture. The symptoms can develop acutely, be delayed, or overlap making diagnosing a challenge. Preventive interventions include selective prescribing of APMs, close monitoring of uncharacteristic movements through the use of screening instruments, prompt management of symptoms, and thorough client education. Nurse practitioners who do not practice in psychiatric mental health nursing on a regular basis or who infrequently prescribe psychotropic medications must be cautious with these potential life-threatening symptoms.

Psychopharmacology Reviews
&
The extrapyramidal motor system is a neural network located in the brain that is involved in the coordination of movement. Extrapyramidal symptoms therefore are symptoms that manifest themselves in various movement disorders.
Extrapyramidal symptoms, often known as EPS is a neurological side effect of antipsychotic medication, also known as major tranquilizers. Antipsychotics are used to control psychoses such as schizophrenia but can also be used to treat behavioral disturbances associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Antipsychotic medications include chlorpromazine (Thorazine), thioridazine (Melleril) and haloperidol (Haldol).
Extrapyramidal symptoms can begin within a few hours, days or weeks or even years after commencing treatment with an antipsychotic medication.
Extrapyramidal symptoms are most common with the older conventional antipsychotics medications such as chlorpromazine (Thorazine), thioridazine (Melleril), haloperidol (Haldol). Symptoms of Extrapyramidal side effects
Common signs and symptoms include
⢠involuntary movements
⢠Tremors and rigidity
⢠Body restlessness
⢠Muscle contractions
⢠Mask like face
⢠Involuntary movement of the eye called oculogyric crisis.
⢠Drooling
⢠Shuffling gait
⢠Increased heart rate
⢠Delirium
Symptoms can be very distressing and frightening.

Antipsychotics & Neuroleptics - Striking a Fine Balance for Such Double-edge Swords
Well, about schizophrenia disorders which are mostly treated with antipsychotics / neuroleptics medications, please consider the excerpts below:
{âPositive Schizophrenia Symptoms Positive symptoms of the disorder are easy-to-spot behaviors not seen in healthy people and usually involve a loss of contact with reality. These positive symptoms can include:
⢠Hallucinations
⢠Delusions
⢠Thought disorder
⢠Disorders of movement.â}
as quoted from :
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://schizophrenia.emedtv.com/schizophrenia/symptoms-of-schizophrenia.html">http://schizophrenia.emedtv.com/schizop ... renia.html</a><!-- m -->
Next, in regard of the antipsychotics and neuroleptics meant for treatments of schizophrenia , please refer to the excerpts as follows:
{â Extrapyramidal Symptoms People taking antipsychotic drugs are at risk of developing certain side effects known as extrapyramidal symptoms . These symptoms can include things such as repetitive, involuntary muscle movements (such as lip smacking) or an undeniable urge to be moving constantly . Extrapyramidal symptoms are usually divided into different categories. Dyskinesias are movement disorders, while dystonias are muscle tension disorders . "Tardive" symptoms are those that appear during long-term treatment (often after several years). Unlike earlier symptoms, tardive symptoms are more likely to be permanent even after the medication is stopped. Dyskinesias are movement disorders and can include any of a number of repetitive, involuntary, and purposeless body or facial movements . They can include:
⢠Tongue movements, such as "tongue thrusts" or "fly-catching" movements
⢠Lip smacking
⢠Finger movements
⢠Eye blinking
⢠Movements of the arms or legs.
An individual may or may not be aware of these movements. These movements are usually quite recognizable. Tardive dyskinesia is a dyskinesia that occurs after long-term treatment with an antipsychotic medication. Sometimes, this condition may become permanent.
Akathisia is closely related to dyskinesia. Akathisia is an extreme form of internal or external restlessness. It may be a complete inability to sit still, with an undeniable urge to be moving constantly. Or it may be an entirely inner feeling of jitteriness or shakiness. Akathisia can be exhausting and debilitating. In fact, severe akathisia may put an individual at risk for suicide, simply because it can be so unbearable .

Next, itâs thus very obvious that the antipsychotics / neuroleptics medications, well, although they remain unquestionably essential in treating Schizophrenia, but nevertheless, the manifestations of their inherent neurological & neurodegenerative side effects as pointed out above, are however, overwhelmingly & potentially and undeniably far dire, if not, deadly than the Schizophrenia disorders itself.
And in all cases, for miscellaneous precautionary purposes, such dopamine antagonist medications (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_antagonist">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_antagonist</a><!-- m --> ) of antipsychotics / neuroleptics simply should not be overly relied or fed upon to the point of sheer abuses. In short, it is simply undisputed that antipsychotics / neuroleptics alone are simply not the perfect or the only one & single solution to any cognitive disorders.
Whilst as far as antipsychotics / neuroleptics medications are concerned, well, given the very undisputed fact that since most of them are of dopamine antagonist nature ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_antagonist">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopamine_antagonist</a><!-- m --> ) with a variety of simply inevitable serious side effects ( <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=2055352#i">http://curezone.com/forums/fm.asp?i=2055352#i</a><!-- m --> ), there thus have been in fact a great variety of other far better medications with greater curative effects and far lesser harmful side effects getting invented from time to time nowadays by the modern medical science in order to overcome this problem.

As such, their treatments would definitely involve psychotherapies to complement the usages of such medications for holistic healings .
Next, since different types of non-medication psychotherapy treatments undeniably applies to different individuals needing psychiatric treatments given their respectively different temperaments, characters, traits, personalities etc. . that simply vary from one another, then these duly certified professionals thus would need to be tactful and attentive to all the emotional & psychological needs and patterns of the ones they treat and attend to so as to effectively deliver genuinely & progressively better and better reliefs, cures and healings to these people.
Whilst generally & objectively, surely under whatsoever circumstances, anyone would certainly & positively expect any fully certified and licensed medical practitioners to simply ensure that the medical conditions of the ones or anyone they treat and attend to just get better and better from time to time rather than from bad to worse.
