In today’s powerful short, Dr. Gabor Maté challenges one of the most accepted practices in modern psychiatry: the overprescription of psychiatric medication.
According to Dr. Maté, psychiatric drugs are not only given too quickly—they’re used as a substitute for true emotional healing. When a patient stabilizes, that’s when the real psychological work should begin. But in most cases, it ends there.
He explains how medications can numb us, cloud our emotions, and prevent the deeper work required for healing trauma, depression, and emotional pain.
🎯 If you or someone you know has ever been prescribed psychiatric meds, this is a must-watch.
🎥 Stay until the end—his closing insight reframes everything we think we know about mental health treatment.

OMG! I was so numb, it made me an even bigger victim! I completely lost my ability to say no, and was used even more by the people who were supposed to love me. The reason I needed help was because I was emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, and financially depleted being a single mom of 2 while caring for both parents in their dying years. My siblings and ex-husband didn't think twice!
I took myself off the antidepressants, ditched the husband, ditched the family after my parents passed, and live alone. Do I still struggle with mental health issues?...yup!...but at least I'm not a doormat anymore!

Thank you! I have tried and I depressants in the past and I just feel like a zombie and I gain weight, etc.
I am a true empath and my therapist says you have to put in the hard work if you don’t want medication. I am already on ADHD meds sleeping pill that doesn’t work anymore and an emergency anxiety pill. I went from completely 100% holistic to dying in the hospital from septic shock a few years ago.
I spent months there, lost, the use of my legs thank goodness I have them back . Nightmares psychosis, being gaslit by doctors and nurses.
I could go on and on and write a book about the trauma I’ve experienced with all the surgeries in less than five years
And I refuse to take antidepressants. My therapist recognizes this and respects it, but I know I worry her, and I feel bad and she does not want me to feel bad, of course, but a part of me wants to feel all the pain all the hurt all the sadness, all the betrayal, I don’t want to be numb. I don’t want to forget I just wanna learn how to breathe through it all when the PTSD hits hard, the flashbacks, the nightmares, the uncontrollable racing thought.
I want to sit with it and sometimes speak to it and be OK with it. I know you won’t ever see this, but I’ve said it before you are a blessing that will continue on and on and on till the end of time.

Fortunately, with the VA system, I’ve been blessed with an above average neuropsychiatrist. The VA system encourages a multifaceted approach of talk therapy and medications, as needed. He asks if I can still feel emotions. He doesn’t want to overmedicate… I can appreciate that.
Yes… medicines and talk therapy is a beneficial to all patients. People have to talk and process the pain, as numbing just puts a bandaid on a deep scar.

Very bad side effects.. depression is usually situational and aligns with anxiety..low self esteem and most likely neglected as a child.. sensitive soul and intuitive.. scapegoated child.

I don't think they want us to feel our emotions. I don't think the professionals can deal with our feelings anymore than nursing homes overmedicate so the patients will just sleep and not need anything from them.❤❤❤They don't want to be bothered. It is sad.

When it’s your life, your mental health the prescriber is messing with, it’s not just up to them imo! It’s up to us, also - the client/patient - to protect ourselves from the consequences of the prescribers’ decisions.

That's me, on all sorts of meds, wish I had a doctor like You

When I was on SSRIs NO ONE mentioned CPTSD, self awareness or meditation.

I went through dozens of antipsychotic meds. They either didn't help or the side effects were worse than the problem was to start with. The solution, no antipsychotics, just a sleeping pill to help me sleep. I deal with the emotions on my own.

Dr. Maté says psychiatric meds are just the beginning—but most doctors treat them as the end. No therapy, no support… just pills.
💭 What do you think: Are psychiatric medications overused today?
Do we numb pain instead of helping people heal it?
Let’s talk about the emotional cost of avoiding trauma work. Drop your thoughts
