The Drive to Look for Insight

Upon reading Shoenberger’s article [1], I felt gratitude and respect for the author’s courageous, detailed and clear description of the withdrawal syndrome. He added much-needed flesh and soul to the bare scientific information on the effects (desirable and undesirable) of a drug. As a tribute to the author, I thought he could be offered an ingredient that is blatantly absent in his report, i.e., the drive to look for insight. Is it not possible that ‘a fairly normal bump in the road’ drove a man to take a powerful antidepressive for 3 years because it echoed on a frailty of an otherwise healthy fabric? Also, ‘wild dreams’ may be intrusive, annoying, even scary, but their contents may be related to the unruly, hidden forces that pull the strings of our everyday feelings and behaviour. Some people, however sleepless and upset, would try hard to extract information from their own ‘wild dreams’ in order to better understand, and fight, the ghosts that haunt them.
