Clozapine, a simple anti-cancer drug, promotes deaths in other hospitals: Promoting the transfer of intractable psychiatric patients to the community
Mental problems cannot be solved by taking medicine.
It's the same as an office worker drinking alcohol on the way home from work and not solving his problems.
The history of psychiatric care can be rephrased as the history of killing by drugs, and all the drugs used in psychiatric drug therapy are dangerous drugs designated as highly toxic drugs.
So why do they not hesitate to prescribe dangerous drugs?
It's because the people who are hospitalized in psychiatric hospitals
are not "people who are troubled by mental symptoms and cannot live in society",
but "people who are no longer needed by society, who are labeled as mentally ill and isolated under the pretext of treatment".
"Society won't work well with you, so please stay behind bars for the rest of your life"
are the reality of mentally ill people.
Therefore, in reality, the people who are hospitalized are
"people who know the name of the disease but don't know what kind of treatment they are receiving" or "people who don't know that they are continuing to receive treatment that has no effect at all".
There are many people in psychiatric hospitals who don't know why they are hospitalized.
However, because they have "nowhere to go back to" and "no place in society," they live in a psychiatric hospital, pretending to be patients, where they can have three meals a day and take a nap without having to work.
It's complicated for the family.
Because medical expenses are somewhat expensive, many family members are actually thinking (in their hearts, though they don't say it) that they want the patient to get better as soon as possible.
I have personally experienced the situation where no one complained even when the patient's condition suddenly worsened and they were discharged dead.
Also, when the emergency room took them to the hospital, many family members immediately agreed.
Will the fate of long-term hospitalized patients and socially hospitalized patients, as envisioned by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare,
shift to "discharge by death by lethal injection, which is called a trump card treatment"?
I've made a long introduction, but let's get to the main topic.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has replaced "socially hospitalized patients" and long-term hospitalized patients, who can be discharged at any time if a place to accept them is prepared, with "intractable schizophrenia with high treatment resistance."
In order to make the discharge method for these socially hospitalized patients "discharged due to death," it is believed that the drug "Clozapine," which is considered to be the most powerful of powerful drugs, was used as a trump card in drug therapy, with subsidies and grants.
In fact, psychotropic drugs themselves are very dangerous and are designated as powerful drugs, and some patients' conditions can suddenly change due to malignant syndrome or fulminant hepatitis due to oversedation.
The following is quoted from the "National Council of Municipal Hospitals." https://www.jmha.or.jp/contentsdata/kensyu/seishin/h25syougaisyasougoufukushi/houkoku.pdf
Clozapine, developed in Switzerland in 1961, was approved in many countries as a second-generation antipsychotic drug after 1969. However, in 1975, 16 cases of agranulocytosis, including 8 deaths, were reported within 6 months of its release in Finland, and measures were taken to temporarily suspend sales or halt development in various countries. In 1988, the effectiveness of clozapine in the treatment of treatment-resistant schizophrenia was reaffirmed, and its use resumed in the United States in 1989. However, due to the risk of serious side effects such as agranulocytopenia and cardiomyopathy, its indications were limited to "treatment-resistant schizophrenia". As of 2008, it is approved and used in 97 countries.
・・・ ... The drawback of this clozapine is that it has agranulocytosis as a side effect, so frequent blood test monitoring is required.
It is not that leukopenia is a side effect, but that is actually its main effect.
Simply put, agranulocytosis and myocarditis are the same side effects as anticancer drugs, so clozapine is an anticancer drug.
So why did the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare choose it as a policy?
Because the purpose is to "increase the number of discharges (including discharges due to death)"
It can only be said that the government is subsidizing a policy that ultimately increases the number of discharges (discharges due to death) by deciding that people who are socially hospitalized are "drug resistant" and administering clozapine, which has a high mortality rate, to promote discharges due to death.
Moreover, no family members are opposed.
Can this really be called medical care?
Mental illness is a problem that society faces, and medical care has little to do with it.
They are just labeling people who cannot adapt to society as having mental illnesses and placing them in mental hospitals, which means they are just dumping the money on the problem.
Moreover, humans are originally capable of "sensing (invisible) spiritual things."
We live our lives surrounded by invisible technology such as UV protection products, microwaves, and smartphones, yet the trend of immediately declaring someone "mentally ill" when they talk about the invisible world is absurd.
How will the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare promote discharge from hospitals? There are some unknowns, but it is possible that support for discharge through legal lethal injection, or discharge after death, will expand in the future.
People who are currently hospitalized in psychiatric hospitals need to keep an eye on the actions of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare.
