Chemistry of silence

We drug the body to silence what we don't know how to hear. Chemistry: provisional punctuation for biological texts no one taught us to read.

Chemistry of silence

Bodies speaking languages their owners cannot recognize. Where words fail, physical pain constructs cathedrals of precise and ordered symptoms that no dictionary translates. We search in pharmaceuticals and substances for interpreters of this incomprehensible monologue emerging from territories that predate language.

Psychic suffering without symbolic representation materializes in aching flesh, inflamed tissues, protesting organs. Paradoxically, the more sophisticated our medical diagnoses become, the less we understand these bodily hieroglyphics. Like archaeologists facing inscriptions from extinct civilizations, we accumulate data while deeper meaning remains sealed behind impenetrable walls.

Contemporary clinical practice receives these bodies suffering in pre-verbal dialects. The real challenge is not silencing symptoms but developing new grammars where pain finds translation without resorting to chemicals that mute the question. Between medicine that medicates and psychoanalysis that listens, these patients seek someone who can read the scores written in their cells.
