There is a lot of conversation happening these days around appropriate treatments for mental health issues, the place for psychotherapy and medications and the challenges with each. I wanted to contribute to this conversation with some insights of my own.
One population I don’t see being covered in the conversation on psychotropic medication use, but that, in my opinion, is uniquely affected by it, is the immigrant population. I especially am sensitive to this topic, as my father has been mistreated with psychotropic medication to treat his immigration adjustment challenges in the 90s and has been disabled ever since.
