Why minimizing the use of psychiatric medications is crucial and how it affects our bodies. The concept of "wear and tear" and how excessive use of medications can affect their efficacy

Psychiatric medications should be used minimally. Our bodies are not eternal and are limited. If medications are abused, our bodies may not respond properly when they are truly needed. It is better to save them for later. The main substances in our bodies that interact with medications are enzymes, which are made of proteins. Enzymes are substances that are recycled, so their use is limited. Proteins are sensitive to temperature and acidity, and they can easily lose their function. Furthermore, as aging progresses, the proteins in our bodies may no longer be able to handle biochemical reactions effectively. For this reason, treatment-resistant mental illnesses may arise, where the medications do not produce the desired effect

Proteins and enzymes are sensitive to changes in temperature and pH, which can lead to loss of function and enzyme activity. As we age, the structural integrity and efficiency of these proteins decline. This can affect not only everyday biochemical reactions but also the effectiveness of medications over time.

In conclusion, overuse of medications can lead to reduced effectiveness when they are truly needed. Enzymes, which are proteins that interact with medications, have a limited capacity and are sensitive to changes in temperature and acidity. Aging further impairs protein function, potentially leading to treatment-resistant mental illnesses where medications become less effective.
