Cela s\u2019est heurt\u00e9. Le traitement a parfois \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9duit \u00e0 tort, avec des cons\u00e9quences parfois f\u00e2cheuses. J\u2019ai pourtant vu un certain nombre de jeunes gens, le plus souvent des hommes, qui avaient r\u00e9ellement besoin de ce m\u00e9dicament. Ainsi, quelqu\u2019un qui, en derni\u00e8re ann\u00e9e, voyait ses lourdes \u00e9tudes d\u2019ing\u00e9nieur partir \u00e0 vau-l\u2019eau en raison de probl\u00e8mes de concentration croissants, s\u2019est compl\u00e8tement \u00e9panoui gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la Rilatine et a termin\u00e9 ses \u00e9tudes avec succ\u00e8s.<\/span><\/p>\n

D\u2019apr\u00e8s mon exp\u00e9rience, ce type de patients utilise la m\u00e9dication avec conscience et n\u2019en fait pas mauvais usage. Dans ce groupe, du moins en ce qui concerne l\u2019usage d\u2019amph\u00e9tamines, je ne vois pas appara\u00eetre de d\u00e9rives. Ce qui, dans une autre vie, est une substance addictive, joue ici tr\u00e8s correctement le r\u00f4le d\u2019un m\u00e9dicament ayant une influence favorable et profonde sur la qualit\u00e9 de vie.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nous ne pouvons \u00e9videmment pas entrer ici dans tous les aspects de la question, mais seulement en d\u00e9gager quelques grandes lignes. Elles peuvent \u00eatre extr\u00eamement diverses, bigarr\u00e9es et vari\u00e9es, et il est peut-\u00eatre utile, dans ce cas, de nous donner quelques bonnes r\u00e8gles empiriques. Nous devons garder \u00e0 l\u2019esprit qu\u2019une atteinte grave de la personnalit\u00e9, ainsi que le comportement \u00e9trange qui l\u2019accompagne, peut \u00eatre la cons\u00e9quence de troubles identifiables au niveau des cellules c\u00e9r\u00e9brales et des mol\u00e9cules messag\u00e8res qu\u2019elles \u00e9changent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Une affection psychiatrique n\u2019est pas quelque chose que l\u2019on peut r\u00e9soudre par une bonne conversation. Ce n\u2019est pas non plus une question de culpabilit\u00e9, de paresse ou de stupidit\u00e9, ou quoi que ce soit de ce genre. Ce n\u2019est certainement pas quelque chose que l\u2019on a choisi. Cela vous arrive. Dans bien des cas, cela ne re\u00e7oit aucun nom et il peut s\u2019\u00e9couler beaucoup de temps avant qu\u2019un m\u00e9decin puisse poser un diagnostic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Souvent, \u00e0 ce moment-l\u00e0, dans les cas graves, des dommages importants ont d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e9t\u00e9 caus\u00e9s, parce que personne n\u2019a su les identifier. C\u2019est l\u00e0 que l\u2019on constate souvent que l\u2019approche psychoth\u00e9rapeutique n\u2019est pas en mesure d\u2019inverser la tendance, que le psychiatre entre en sc\u00e8ne et, par extension, le m\u00e9decin g\u00e9n\u00e9raliste qui chausse ses lunettes psychiatriques.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dans ces cas, un traitement m\u00e9dicamenteux adapt\u00e9 sera souvent n\u00e9cessaire et, s\u2019il est efficace, devra fr\u00e9quemment \u00eatre poursuivi pendant de nombreuses ann\u00e9es, voire toute la vie. Les psychiatres sont encore plus rares et plus chers que les psychologues, m\u00eame si une partie de leurs honoraires est rembours\u00e9e par la mutuelle.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
