Critique of “The Quiet Room” by L. Schiller and A. Bennett
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page critique of “The Quiet Room” by L. Schiller and A. Bennett. The 1994 book “The Quiet Room: A Journey Out of the Torment of Madness” by Lori Schiller and Amanda Bennett, tells the story of Schiller’s struggle with the illness, treatment and lifestyle of a schizophrenic. The book is important in many aspects as horrific as the tales may appear, they are typical of experiences of schizophrenics: from the onset of the symptoms of the illness; to the realization and acceptance of the illness; to the maze of the health care system; and to (hopefully) successful treatment of the illness. The book has been adopted by the mental health care community as a realistic and candid report on the mental turmoil and institutional nightmares schizophrenics must endure while going through the steps from diagnosis through treatment. The book also provides useful insight and hope to families of schizophrenics which are emphasized in the support of Schiller’s family. Finally the book provides hope and inspiration to schizophrenics as well who are able to read Schiller’s own documentation of her road to recovery and the productive lifestyle she leads today.

Depression: To Medicate Or Not
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Depression treatments do not always take into consideration the best interest of the patient; that options run the gamut from pharmacology to talk therapy and alternatives to lifestyle changes speaks to how the road to healing can reflect more of the practitioner's beliefs than what is truly the most appropriate for the patient. Given the fact that depression medication is fraught with undesirable side effects is the first and foremost reason to reassess whether pharmacology is the right choice to make individual patients let alone across the board with all clients. Depression's composition is either chemical or environmental (trauma); when it is the latter, drugs do not address the source nor the solution but instead exacerbates an already bad situation by adding needless psychological and physical by-products. Even when the cause is chemical in nature, medication should not be considered the primary therapeutic approach; coupled with cognitive or other applicable psychological therapy, the patient has a much greater potential for recovery. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
