Family members who are anti-medicine
Permalink   
 

How do you deal with someone who is against psychiatric medicine? My brother and I are very close and agree on most things. But he is so anti psychiatric medicine. He read that you can stop a panic attack by deep breathing, so he thinks that anti anxiety meds are unnecessary. I try to tell him that some people need both medicine and to do behavioral things to cope. He just gets angry and says I'm weak. It's very hurtful.

How do I deal with a person like this? I'd like to be able to depend on him when I'm having a panic attack, but I can't if he equates meds with weakness. I feel like there's no convincing him.

Dear jeremiahquellette,

I am so very, very sorry you are in that situation. Since I am in a somewhat similar situation with a family member, I can definitely relate to what you must be going through. It is heartbreaking when people are rely on half truths and then use those to hurt the people who are near and dear to them. I wish I had some good advice for you, but sadly I don't. Many people are prone to oversimplification which is a fallacy that really brutalizes the truth. It is hard when one is related to such a person. So sorry I do not know how to help. My heart goes out to you. Please forgive me if my English is not correct.

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen

I understand! When I was diagnosed with multiple neuroses and tremors, no one believed me, and everyone thought I didn't need help from a neurologist. The hand tremor occurs only in moments of excitement, and I need to calm down, but when panic attacks began, everyone continued to pretend that everything was fine. I went to the doctor without telling anyone about it. Don't listen to anyone and seek medical treatment! There are relatives like mine who don't even believe in helminthiasis in a child! My nephew no one believed he had worms in his feces, so I took him to the doctor, and he was prescribed to drink these pills https://www.fenbenlab.com/product/fenbendazole-capsules-222mg/. It's terrible when problems happen to children who can't care for themselves. If you can do it, do it!

Try to write him a letter in your handwriting, dear. I believe your brother loves you very much and he is able to believe you even though he has some stereotypes inside his mind. Just... Just don't give up, okay? I hope that everything will be alright with you.

/quietly give you hug/
