Topic 8.10
Why might drug therapies not always be effective in treating psychological disorders?
Patients always become dependent on the medication prescribed for their disorder.
All patients develop tolerance to medications over time necessitating higher doses with each use.
Drug therapies invariably have undesirable side effects that outweigh their benefits.
Symptoms can return once medication is discontinued.
