The presentation begins with an overview of what will be covered along with information on the sources of data to be cited. The main body of the presentation begins with a survey of the rise in mental illness over the past century and one-half, citing statistics and showing the correlation of this rise with the progressive introduction of psychotropic drugs. The presentation cites the literature demonstrating that the rise of mental illness began to accelerate with the introduction of Thorazine and accelerated further with the introduction of Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI's).
We look at the mechanisms which support correlation of mental illness with psychotropics - neurochemically, functionally and emotionally - and illustrate that there is a point of no return related to the overuse of psychotropics. This part of the talk focuses on the relationship of neurotransmitter balance to mental and emotional states. The presentation concludes with a brief description of research shortly to be done on the relationship of brainwave patterns to neurochemical states and the use of amino acid precursors to balance those states.
