It is too much 'Big Brother", as other commenters have noted. <br />Tech/business world does view this as wonderful, but they are not considering civil rights and impact of illness on the individual. <br />You might be able to convince me that this could be used for something like TB that is extremely resistant to multiple drugs (complex regimen, contagious to others, long duration of treatment) though I don't know the current literature on treatment adherence in that area. <br />We need more of the human connection that helps folks understand the reason for taking their meds and the value of continued treatment for ALL chronic conditions, not just brain diseases. clairesmumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-36146617886176893442015-10-09T17:20:45.668-04:002015-10-09T17:20:45.668-04:00I would never take any drug that allowed anyone el...I would never take any drug that allowed anyone else the power to monitor the inside of my body. My body belongs to me and it's these grotesque abuses of your "science" that cause your critics, many of whom are psychiatric survivors, to compare psychiatrists to Nazis.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18435592407549980899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-39336068971595534162015-10-07T05:51:04.797-04:002015-10-07T05:51:04.797-04:00P-K totally agree.

And most importantly remember when and IF they have taken them. <br />It's a hard transition in learning and accepting you need to make medication. Coercion won't help the situation. <br />BecBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-41187465483278585852015-10-06T22:14:55.938-04:002015-10-06T22:14:55.938-04:00Another reason I don't like it is that it sugg...Another reason I don't like it is that it suggests that patients who take antipsychotics cannot be trusted to tell their psychiatrists the truth. We can't be trusted, we must prove we took the medication. I have always told my psychiatrist when I've missed medications, because he created an environment where it was safe for me to be honest. I had a lot of trouble in the beginning remembering to take the medications and I missed a lot of doses not on purpose, but I just couldn't remember. I liked and respected my psychiatrist so I told him I was missing medications, and he helped me come up with strategies to remember to take them. There's no need for a tracker if the relationship is built on respect and trust. If my psychiatrist had used threats or force or coercion, I wouldn't tell him the truth about meds or anything else because I wouldn't trust or resect him. <br /><br />I can't see my psychiatrist ever prescribing a drug so he could track patient compliance. He has no need to do that, because patients like him and he's easy to talk to.<br /><br />P-K Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-48801984048188535502015-10-06T19:26:13.572-04:002015-10-06T19:26:13.572-04:00This is just so freakin' frightening to me, my...This is just so freakin' frightening to me, my god, people have the right to make poor choices, and then deal with the consequences. As long as the majority of folks just stay silent and complacent, why not just start rounding yourselves up in box cars now and save the cretins who are out to control us the hassle of their time and energy to work at decimating society as we have seen before.<br /><br />Sheesh, this stuff is just so hideous to read...<br /><br />And then you read this Robot crap to send a comment...Joel Hassman,MDhttp://cantmedicatelife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-65923125960054051812015-10-06T11:33:20.698-04:002015-10-06T11:33:20.698-04:00It's creepy.
