Proof The Bible Is True

Benzodiazepines are a class of psychotropic medications used to treat anxiety disorders. They work by promoting the release of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a neurotransmitter, thus slowing down the nervous system.

 

However, they’re prone to abuse, and when taken for years, can cause harmful side effects — many of which have not yet been fully identified and studied.

 

The documentary film “Medicating Normal,” (see video below) produced and directed by filmmaking duo Lynn Cunningham and Wendy Ractliffe, sheds light on this problem.

 

The film was inspired by a relative of Cunningham, who, at one point, was taking 10 pills daily, and she wanted to raise awareness about it.
