[lbo-talk] The epidemic of mental illness

[123hop at comcast.net]

My mother was put on an antipsychotic drug almost fifty years ago. It's called Prolixin.

She has never been able to get off it. The side effects are kind of horrible, and indeed, her health has been steadily deteriorating since. On the other hand, she's a heavy smoker (was a heavy drinker), and did no exercise. So it's hard to say what the Prolixin did and what her normal habits did.
