However, when it comes to your mental health, turning to “something” to treat that episode, may lead to future issues.  If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.

The assumption in many communities is that these drugs are safe and a front line treatment, but the hazards are rarely discussed and severely underestimated.

Patients and families should be aware of the substantial risks associated with use.If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911.
