I want this idiot, and others who follow him to go down to a local Veterans Affairs hospital. They have group sessions, for PTSD and MAJOR Depression. Please PLEASE go in their and tell the soldiers that they are "imagining" all of this and Depression and PTSD does not exist. I am confident there would be a news story the next day telling of some anti-psychiatrist QUACK got himself beat to a pulp in his local VA
This guy, is an utter QUACK Way to much acid and to much of Thomas Szasz. and for you people out their, who get MISDIAGNOSED for instance, it is discovered that you in fact just have a thyroid problem, which can mimic Bipolar disorder. For some ARROGANT reason, you people think that, the rest of the ENTIRE world, must be misdiagnosed just like yourselves. The only other group, that agrees with you QUACKS is the SCIENTOLOGIST'S.
I have received emails from plenty of you QUACKS you guys are NUTS
NOT JUST SCIENTOLOGY , MANY DIFFERENT ORGANISATIONS ARE AGAINST PSYCHIATRY,INCLUDING MANY MEDICAL PERSONNELS . PSYCHIATRY IS NOT JUST A SCAM, IT'S DANGEROUS TO MIND AND BODY .
My mom's psychiatrist saved her from killing herself 17 years ago, my psychiatrist now helps me to socialize and get good grades, and it works. Crazy people these days...
Psychiatry is totally used to ostracize people one form another. Take the case of Kelly Thomas, a "gentle, childlike, schizophrenic homeless man" who was brutally killed by police thugs for stealing from a car, unarmed. It's just one more label; one more barrier.
I'm wanting to transfer from actuarial science to medicine to become a psychiatrist, however after researching the fundamentals of the profession, it seems that I would be affecting people negatively rather than positively(not on average). Kinda defeats the purpose 'ey?
I have been on the following meds for what the doctors called "Bipolar I and II".....(you can't have two forms of one illness!):
Depakote
Risperdal
Lithium
Lamictal
Abilify
.....my memory of what happened during that time frame is still rather hazy. I was only 16 when it all happened. NO person under 18 should be drugged up like I was. Thankfully I am off meds. Parents, don't put your children on pills...they are NOT approved for children under 18, and can damage a young mind/body.
@BFMVLOVER11100 its a damn shame, may you still make your dreams come true and have a fullfilling life, you didnt need this shit to happen to you, but it did, and they should pay dearly for making you suffer like this.
I'm getting ready to apply for medical school, and I had wanted to be a psychiatrist for a long time. After learning some neuroscience, however, it became increasingly clear to me that psychiatry has nearly no proof on top of which to base their claims. I don't want to be a drug dealer, I want to help people.. It's too bad what money can do to good fields like medicine. I guess I'll be a neurologist instead. I'd rather earn my money the honest way and actually accomplish something
As a fellow medical student I find your claim concerning. An open and critical mind is what is needed in our profession instead of feeding this nonsense. I hope that after you actually spend time in a psych unit you may be able to offer a more informed opinion of the work of psychiatrists and the role they play to advocate for those who need help the most
@pricey4486 I agree about having an open mind. That is the biggest problem in the profession in my opinion. The claim that behavioral disorder is caused by neuro-development issues is a gross oversimplification that has little proof in most cases. However, too many decisions are made on this theory. I feel like there are, of course, many great psychiatrists. By and large, however, they serve the $2 trillion industry. Money runs everything after all, even medicine to a great degree
@pricey4486 Psychiatrists have no place in treating mental problems unless they stop using drugs. The drugs have no healing properties whatsoever -chemicalshave their effect by causing damage.

Thank you John Breeding for your understanding of the need to defend and stand up for people burt and to be burnt by psychiatry. As someone who has been arrested, forced to take unwanted drugs with bad side effects and driven OVER TWO HOURS IN FULL BODY SHACKLES down to a mental hospital on the other side of the state and finally put away for a week having to lie to be timely released only to come home to find that they gave my mom a nearly 5 figure bill. This shit's got to end.
As a recipient of Mental Illness, the only "oppression" I have been subject to is, the lack of understanding from society and "quacks" like John Breeding whom imply that mental illness doesn't exist therefore it is "me" who is at fault and I am imagining that I have a biochemical imbalance. Prior to getting on psychotropic medications, I was debilitated and even lost my entire life savings from not being able to work and now, I am doing so much better and my life is finally going well.
@furtherfarthest1 Actually, the idea of "biochemical imbalance" has more or less been completely disproven. Can you prove that psychiatric illness exists?
@furtherfarthest1 You might find that your so called mental illness is actually a true physical illness like thyroid disorder. It's worth checking instead of taking brain damaging drugs and believing the lies of psychiatry.
I am not able to work because of a bone and muscle impairment. Even though I have at least 2 conditions mentioned in the social security blue book I have had people tell me I will never be approved for SSI because I am not taking medication. None of the movements seem to fit my situation. I have been trying to get SSI now for about 2 years. A food stamp case worker said all disabled people take pain or mental health meds. Is that true?
Excellent. Psychiatry is yet another way to expand effective demand to create surplus profit. Many of these people are out of the system of Capital accumulation and are not part of the obedient workforce. So Big Medicine milks their insurance companies and transfers yet more wealth over to the top 1% of the wealthy class. But all the elements you speak of are important too.
The whole concept of psychiatry was developed well before1900 in Germany to get rid of people complaining.The first use of directed energy weapons can be recognized in psychiatric literature from1908.You find it in chapter Psychiatrie-->Klinik der Narkolepsie on my homepage.During the NAZI time this concept was given up as Germany just murdered oponents.It was relaunched directly after the war to persecute and silence concentration camp survivors
My father was a physician, and he used to speak of the stages of the course of study to become an MD. Once the Doctorate is completed the Doctor does a residency in one of the areas of Medicine. My father said that he knew many Doctors who were either not succesfull in one or more fields of medicine ultimately choosing Psychiatry as their area of specialty. Makes one wonder doesn't it?
i think its funny how there are meds out there for almost anything. funny as in F***ed up...its as if as a people we are giving in way too much to the idea of psychiatry as a solution...some things are meant to be dealt with naturally. and a lot, if not most, meds, are not a natural solution. usually there is a root cause for some feeling, depression, etc
further more they dont want you to be well they want to keep you sick for they'er purpose so they can have high paying jobs and control your life so you dont beleive in yourself anymore and you need to always get they'er approval on anything and everything
you mean when a society group of people who project they'er judgements on to someone who they dont like those types that place they'er asumptions on you , and they are wide spread because your beleifs don't fit into they'er little world type thing and you had to conform to them and be forced into they'er outlook on life mind control
I quit taking all meds(they termed me resistant) I am still having problems seeing what's really behind the depression and social anxieties,but I feel pretty sure there's a root cause.
@movadoband you should be seeing a licensed pychologist and tackling it.The cause often doesnt matter at all,you may just have high trait anxiety and be interpetting your environment irrationally,CBT will often sort that out if youre persistent enough
Comparing anti-psychiatry to the civil rights movement and woman's movement is a non sequiter. Being a minority does not inherently influence the ability of someone to flourish and function in society. The negative effect of minority status is determined primarily by variables external to the individual. While the norms of expectations of society do influence the way in which we treat the mentally ill, the ability of the individual to function is largely determined by internal variables
Living proof-I took my sister off the anti-psychotics, and replaced them with herbal formulas, for her mind and energy levels, at the same time I began the tapering-off the meds. And vitamins and minerals for detox, after tapering-off. It's been over a month, now, and she is improving every day! No re-relapses. Check out : jung circle/schiznatutal
If anyone have any problem like Jinn, sihir, Evil eye etc. then you can contact +923332259433. He is working from Karachi Pakistan according to Quran and Sunnah
Much psychiatric oppression is perpetrated on those of lower economic station and less educated. So in a sense being poor and uneducated can be factors in disempowerment, and general social isolation. As a social and political tranquilizer, psychiatry does seem to have its share of the disempowered citizens.
I was committed to a psych ward--the MD falsified the commitment application to make something that happened 3 years' prior look like it happened within 30 days. He also withheld supplemental oxygen, and took me off of my pysch meds the night prior to my hearing before the magistrate.
I was a Labor and Industrial Relations major, and I appreciate the need to organize to fight the powerful...so how do I avail myself of your help?
hippocrates said scythian men were not virile because of their barbarian habit of wearing trousers. also, i had a friend tortured for 5 years by police and psychiatrists becuase he was "caught" wearing a poncho while out walking his dog.
@TedDGPoulos Its like a living hell, my eyesight is really poor, very blurry vision and a constant buzzing in the head, i didnt want to take the medication they forced me to take right from the start, because I could FEEL IT DOING IT TO ME RIGHT FROM THE START! lots of people have negative experiences taking it, but we all go down in a slightly different way so its hard for us to band together and form groups against it because we are all infighting as much as they are drugging us.its terrible.
@TedDGPoulos they think they are helping you out of the goodness of their hearts... its just complete an utter ignorance at a really dangerous level. its like the "killing me softly song" Im shifting states and im not telling them where im going, if I go nuts by going off the medication im willing to take that chance, cause its hell being on it. I think ill be alright tho, but they would all be placing bets that ill be back to hospital in no time cause I need it. Well see...
@TedDGPoulos "They" are my doctor and nurses that listen to the doctor and give me the medication. They DONT listen. The doctor is partially aware that the medication is "unpleasant" to use, but they think your need for it outweighs this unpleasantness. Its not just unpleasant, its dangerous and probably will shorten my lifespan.
@TedDGPoulos no not at the moment, but i have been, they come to visit me every now again to force me to take the medication. i am actually free tho, apart from that.
@TedDGPoulos Yeh I could, and id probably get away from them. Im planning on skipping states, ill go over east with my sister and dont tell them where I live... then i wouldnt have to take the shitty medication anymore.
@rouncer81 When the professional care you mentioned visit with you, in what way do they force you to take medication? Do you invite them in or do they have direct physical and legal access to your person?
Does anyone know more about experiment like ROSENHAN EXPERIMENT? Being a psychiatrist the result of Rosenhan Experiment is a true bitter taste. This experiment is amazing. Not only does it prove something about schizophrenia, but also the most incredible discoveries appear after being admitted to the hospital. Rosenhan's group become almost a perfect experiment group in regard to real patients admitted to hospital.
Psychiatrists thought the hippies were insane because of their sexual promiscuity, psychedelic use, bisexuality, and acceptance of death that sometimes manifested itself as suicide. Most societies through history have held at least one of these traits to be virtues, and psychiatry is just as subjective as any other religion.
@acriscio I'm sorry that has to be THE dumbest post I've read all year. "Acceptance of death that sometimes manifested itself as suicide"????? WTF is wrong with you! You epitomize the typical anti-psych mentality of discrediting proven SCIENTIFIC solutions and thinking you just have a better way. Take all the schizos off their meds and watch chaos ensue. Have fun throwing your vitamins at them.
"In short, the whole business of creating psychiatric categories of disease, formalizing them with consensus, and subsequently ascribing diagnostic codes to them, which in turn leads to their use for insurance billing, is nothing but an extended RACKET furnishing psychiatry a PSEUDO-scientific aura. The perpetrators [psychiatrists] are, of course, feeding at the public trough.[and getting filthy rich]
— Dr. Thomas Dorman, internist and member of the Royal College of Physicians of the UK
"All psychiatrists have in common that when they are caught on camera or on microphone, they cower and admit that there are no such things as chemical imbalances/diseases, or examinations or tests for them. What they do in practice, lying in every instance, abrogating [revoking] the informed consent right of every patient and POISONING them in the name of treatment is nothing short of CRIMINAL.
@FaceOfGod2 In his Politics of the Family essays, Laing wrote that the psychiatric diagnosis contravened the standard medical model (complaint, history, examination, ancillary tests, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis): psychiatric diagnosis skips from complaint, history to diagnosis & treatment, because there are no examinations & ancillary tests for mental illness.
"...theres no biological imbalance. When people come to me and they say, I have a biochemical imbalance, I say, Show me your lab tests. There are no lab tests. So whats the biochemical imbalance?
modern psychiatry has yet to convincingly prove the genetic/biologic cause of any single mental illnessPatients [have] been diagnosed with chemical imbalances despite the fact that no test exists to support such a claim, andthere is no real conception of what a correct chemical balance would even look like.
It is interesting that Dr. Breeding comes off as an existential psychologist, yet, he maintains his copy of the DSM, with bookmarks. I suppose he needs to understand the lies he uncovers.
Don't be fooled by the ph.D. Doctor, most psychiatric survivors, like me, know that whilst some of what is said has some connection with the truth, this is just a front for the nonsense Church of Scientology. The care and treatment of mental ill health do not have to be oppressive and there are many well intentioned mental health professionals out there. Meds are ok if they work for you and the positives outweigh any negative, so called side effects. This group hijacks the real surv movement
i agree on alot of it. big business has been greedy. some people need to be on meds though. the meds alone will not treat solely alone takes absinenance from narcs and alcohol. also diet exercise play together with the medication.
I believe... idiocy or greed may be a direct cause of much of it. An intelligent psychiatrist should actually recognize that many things diagnosed as proclaimed " mental disorders" can be, in my opinion, efficently -cured- by psychological treatments. Of whatever sort.
To claim that psychiatrist are intentionally working to supress the people of a nation, etc is a bit...humorous to me, if not plainly silly.They believe they are aiding by supressing something to such a degree it is out ofmind
im glad that this is "humorous" to you...it wasnt very humorous when i was forced to take drugs that caused damage to my body or when my freedom was taken away and i was locked into restraint chairs..that wasnt very humorous to me
A) Lying to the medical profession. . This includes giving a false history, tampering with drug tests, lying about disability to receive benefits, misleading court officials to receive more lenient sentences, and so on.
@idontknowwhattoputrn yes i m agree with you when i want to talk to my psy. he does not even care what i say and i want to talk more with him but he does not give a shit about so thats why i get a psycholog
There was a PDF document about how Psychiatry took over the market and labeled Psychologists as not being real doctors. I personally thin tht Big Phamra wanted an army of workers to be their retailers or merchants for the outlet of their products. So they get a little more of a "Medical" education which in my opinion is Allopathic indoctrination. I personally wouldn't see a psychiatrist or a psychologist because they are both creating a nice lifestyle for themselves.
@idontknowwhattoputrn He's a legalized drug pusher. Stop medicating & start thinking for yourself: it requires a much more courageous stance to take on the real structure of systematic exploitation, superficiality, indifference, disconnection, lethargy & dearth of meaningful, creative interactivity that cause most forms of depression, anxiety, etc. This is both an external & internal transformation that requires confronting the neurosis of our culture. What is life if we're not up for the task?
@idontknowwhattoputrn so why go? I was on anti depressants once they made me a bit incontinent which is obviiously embarrassing, I just thought I sit opposite the doctor who gave me these drugs hes a bad of nerves Im not I mnot mad and never took them again or considered myself ill, and Im not neither rare you i expect
Breeding's argument is self contradictory. It was PSYCHOLOGY that said gay isn't a disease. Initially it did but it was psy which reveresed that. It was PSYCHOLOGY which tells us blacks (slaves, etc) are no different than whites. yes psy has evolved from a racistpassed but psy itself condemned its own past and desperatley now forces these mores on society. ie, gay is normal, blacks are identical to all else, slavery is worng, etc. Breeding must refine his argument
I agree w/ half. He's got the social manifestations of psy all wrong. Psy no longer wants to opress minorities yet has frantically raced to speed al minorities up to speed on every social scale. This is why the undeserved get colege placement and why criminals are taught that their crimes are not their fault but the fault of mental illness which started b/c of an opressive society. Psy tries to remove all accountability from behavior in order "help" not hinder
hysteria being what it is, I was diagnosed as bipolar at age 16, received a cocktail of drugs at various times (zyprexa, risperdal, lithium, inderal, cogentin, haldol) that made me a practically narcoleptic zombie unable to do any schoolwork. nobody would listen to me when I told them the side effects were too intense. I failed a year of school, watched my friends and peers go to college, while I, formerly an honors student, degenerated. after stopping the meds, I got into college, graduated.
In college I found that doing the opposite of what psychiatrists had told me to do was what would ultimately help me. I don't know if I was initially misdiagnosed or what, but it turns out that smoking pot didn't make me psychotic, but seemed to help. same with other psychedelics. I breezed through college, got a degree in english, and explored the far reaches of my mind on a regular basis. However, I will always carry those awful memories of alienation, and will forever distrust psychiatry.
I am happy to hear of your coming out of the darkness of your experience. Yes, cannabis is a wonderful plant, with great potential for mind expansion. Good luck to you and your life without the charlatans!
Well, good Doctor, you do provide some interesting viewpoints. Now, this video mentions that psychiatry is enforcing the norm. ..by making folks reflect on and evalutate their behavior, aren't you doing the same?
Anytime anyone talks out agianst psychiatry they are labeled a scientologist. I'm sorry, people are not genetic time bombs predispoed to taking chemcials made by world trade pharma conglomerates. My friend, I think your probably already on drugs. I hope your anti-depressant helps complements your apathy. It is truly sad how brainwashed the world is.
ablechild is a $cientology front group. Dr. Breeding is cited on their website. He went to speak in New Canaan, CT 2004. "Author John Breeding, Ph.D. Speaks on Natural Parenting without Labels & Drugs, the Role of Psychiatry, and Psychiatric Drugs in Schools. New Caanan Ct. Friday, April 23, 2004." Quote from ablechild's website. I always knew there was a link between Dr. Breeding and $cientology...My own opinion, I doubt he flew out there and paid his own accommodations. For shame...
Anytime anybody isnt for psychiatric drugs, BIG PHARMA labels them a Scientologist so no one will listen to them. BIG PHARMA pays people BIG MONEY to promote the idea that everyone who criticizes them must be a scientologist and therefore crazy.
Check out this vid: Ex Drug Rep -- Manipulating Doctors
Read up on what psychiatrists Dr. Peter Breggin and Dr. Thomas Szasz have to say.
I own Gwen Olsen's book "Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher." I never said he was a $cientologist. I was disappointed by the fact that he accepted money from a $cientology front group to speak. He always speaks of total freedom and total free speech. Then go and associate with people who create the allusions of freedom but stifle and oppress their members. I'm really sure Dr. Breeding really is in the dark about what $cientologists do when he associates with them.
Alex Chiu's Immortality Rings actually cure mental illness. I have a cousin who is 23 but acts like 12. Her mother made her wear the Alex Chiu rings and she started to act a little normal. I guess the rings allow blood flow to the brain so she became a little normal. There are lots of testimonials online about Alex Chiu's rings.
Psychiatry isn't perfect, and atrocities do happen even in "enlightened" parts of the world. Not all of it is bad though. As a patient myself I've responded by becoming my own advocate and cherry-picking the treatments that work for me. I've taught many fellow patients to do the same, and how to file formal complaints and things to affect change from within. Thanks for all the good work you do.
@torturedbyshrinks thet dont and you know well that they dont.No drug that was proven to cause blindness could be licesned for sale .Maybe 1 in a million people could die or go blind while on it,every drug has similar cases.
I certainly appreciate this man's spirit, You can tell that his care id for others and that he is not attempting to pad his wallet. This is a refreshing perspective in this money driven world.
Yes he can, he may even bring the end times. The end of an Era, the end of time-Time being a product of construction. The clock, the second, the minute being a matter of senses and connection. A second to you is a minute to another is a instant to another, which of the three do you think can pull the rug out underneath you so to speak?
What I'm saying is that if he were here he'd probably be kicking ass, mainly the asses of his "followers" E.G. the people enslaved by a bible that had nothing to do with his teachings but built a political empire. Also, the end time already occurerd, Einstein brought it. The next step is merging into the new era where all of this will repeat in some way or another, on and on.
We believe in psychiatry, as any other coercive institution because we have been propagandized to believe in such. Because, all around us, such beliefs have been hammered into us. But so-called mental illness is a metaphor for "difficulties in living". Listen to Dr.Thomas Szasz, whose 50 years of demystifying writings strengthen Breeding's truths! Meaningful communities beyond hierarchy and coercion is key here! See also the Mental Patients Liberation Alliance!
I think that mental health institutions are basicaly power structures inherently working together with the actual value-system most people in a given society share. Thus are tools to reinforce te status-quo of social and cultural prejudices. I other words psychiatry subserves not the individual but the community, it integrates the need of the many to rule over the behaviors of the few and radically different. Thus its a power-game of reinstalling "normalcy".
Fascinating! I admire your spunk--and culture, I' have heard, does play a role in diagnosis....if it is normal for your culture to hear the voices of dead ancestors, it's ok....but if that is not part of your culture, it's not....
Kind of reminiscent of what happened with things like testing at Ellis Island, perhaps.
Perhaps psychiatric illnesses do exist, but so often it is more like America doesn't want to admit the atrocities that happen here. Psychiatry works to silence people whose experiences have not been so picturesque. Can you imagine how it feels to experience rape, incest, or child abuse; then have psychiatrists work with families who perpetrated or enabled these events to tell you that YOU are fundamentally defective? It happens!
You do have some very interesting points. I don't think you're wrong, but I don't necessarily think you're totally correct. I do believe that psychiatric illnesses *do* exist. Maybe I am wrong (seriously), but I believe it's been proven that lack of certain hormones / neurotransmitters / etc. can lead to mental illness. These medications, do cure these problems don't they? Maybe your point is, people "want to believe" that they have a label, so they have an easy way out?
No psychiatric medications do not cure the problem. They suppress (to a greater or lessor degree) they symptoms.
Like taking a pain killer for a broken leg, it drug covers up the pain but does absolutely nothing to help the broken leg heal.
Or
Like taking over-the-counter flu remedies, they alter the body's response so you don't have a runny nose but it does nothing to attack the virus causing the problem.
That's a good point, I suppose "cure" isn't the appropriate termonology to describe the use of psychiatric medications. That said, I think it's a stretch to advocate that they're useless, right? I don't pretend to know, in all honestly, but my inclination is that these medications can pull people out of "ruts" they might be in, just like flu-medication, pain killers, other such medications are used to HELP you through a difficult experience (not cure it). Your thoughts?
Psychiatric medication might be helpful perhaps in extreme cases where there is absolutely no alternative. Currently there is no physiological test which can show that a person has a chemical imbalance. This perhaps can explain why psychiatrists often have a hard time describing a normal brain with balanced chemicals.
In a previous comment you also stated that psychiatric medications cure. I think the more appropriate word to describe the situation is manage, or perhaps mask.
So, good sir, I must ask, where does one draw the line in regards to arguing about biological vs. physiologic vs. individual perspective/experience? Back to things like Alzheimer's disease, multi-infarct dementia...where imaging studies and autopsy post morten show diseased tissue in the brain...perhaps we just haven't gotten to the point of 'imaging' all underlying pathologies.....
The worst oppression is to ourselves, not using the brain correctly, and so we project it on everyone else. There are techniques to get a cure for our insane society, but it starts with the individual. I wonder if that would help mental illness. Maybe we could talk. Continuing to make money off the issue can be an incentive to not dealing with ourselves and our issues so we at least aren't oppressing ourselves anymore...
emotionally i m a mess my psychiastrist has me on 3 medications and i still feel as shitty as before. my nervous system is wack and is bcuz i have manic depression (i never smile) and ocd. i agree tat psychiatry is a sham bcuz it has not helped me in the least. the doctor says if u do not take them u will go nuts bcuz u will not b able to sleep . i have negativge thoughtys all day long, etc. the person with it feels like shit and is not trying to get attention mots times the fear is real.
I don't think people can get away with negative -thoughts and -words. We have to change them, and put +spin on them and not use -words. I think we are made that way. Maybe manics need to use -wrds and not +wrds. Even a nuclear reactor needs carbon rods to slow it down and they are removed to speed it up. 1 and 1/2 weeks allowing a bunch of the tinniest -thoughts and they added up to my deepest depression, but it lasted about 3 min, cuz when I stood up it disappeared. I lost respect for -wds.
Fuck your doctor. Hes getting fat paid off of your pain. According to you hes done nothing to help and I bet he'll tell you if you try to get off the pills that you will get worse, and you may :(
point 2 people who wreck the place when they were sitting with their own family at dinner are not freaking out at society when they think their family are "fakes" I freaked because i thought they were fakes and i counld not give a damn about society i'm a person who beleives we live and die and for the most we should watch and enjoy...i thought they were fake/the doctors SEEN the chemical I lacked I could see the lack...my tablets work and what you are saying is wrong I KNOW
@psychetruth Antidepressants are SSRIs. They inhibit the reuptake when your dendrites try to send serotonin to the next dendrite. keeping the serotonin within the dendrite when it's maxed out makes you maintain an overload of the feel good chemical. but like ecstasy it burns up the dendrite fibers, but at a slower rate. your body produces less of it naturally when a drug does it for you. A good solution is to get your body to produce serotonin itself to prevent physical and psych. dependencies.
@barnumeffect5 This is true regarding SSRI's, at least that's the extent of our knowledge. BUT, this ISN'T how SSRI's work! SSRI's take about 3 weeks or more to start working on mood, however serotonin levels are increased within the first week of treatment, so doesn't this mean that there is another interaction going on, related to the action of serotonin that we don't get know about?
wait is this movement to rid of all psychiatrist? U no if that happened It would be putting a lot of people on the streets. And another question would be if you had a patient with an Xtrem case would you not want to medicate that patient?
No. The mental health system doesn't need to disappear, it needs to be reformed.
Medications have a place in acute care.
Obviously if someone is bashing their head against a wall, a tranquilizer could be appropriate.
To date, none of the psychiatric medications actually cure the disorders and when chronically used the side effects often result in organ damage and early death.
According to Thomas Szasz an institution based on falsities can not be reformed, it needs to be abolished, and I agree with him.
For example I am what many people would call depressed, pessimist and so on. While they contend that I "need help" I contend that no, I have the right to stay as I am, to stick to my sel identity and take my so called symptoms as part of my understanding of the world good or bad. Therefore I am not "suffering", I am just different and somehow like it. Thanks.
One side effect of psychiatric medication includes not being able to urinate. Imagine needing to use the bathroom badly, but being unable to let out any urine. It is quite a terrible feeling really. May none of you reading this ever have to experience it.
Also I agree - there is logical reason to give a person bashing their head against a wall a tranquilizer to calm them down a bit.
@psychetruth antidepressants alter your personality, mke you dumber, less creative, n n mny other things.. i have reason 2 believe the cold turkey withdrawal altered my chemistry so much tht i now have hypothyroidism(another thing which needs to reform its treatment).. now i cnt think clearly, n feel so dumb, n miss my original self.. sorry if i dnt mke sense.. i have crzy brain fog because of this horribly underrated disease
@gottenjet what does psyciatrists losing their jobs have to do with it? no that im saying they should, but the lively hoods of the psychiatrists is not the important issue here. they'll be fine. its the millions of people being falsely diagnosed by "experts" which is disturbing
I've seen a pretty eye opening interview with Psychologist Daniel Fisher about the possible recovery from schizophrenia and other conditions. I think its a video that more people should check out because it shows not only is there hope for recovery but the very fact that he himself successfully had gone to school to become a psychiatrist AFTER being diagnosed as a schizophrenic himself is direct
I haven't read about Louis Wain's situation but I have a pretty good feeling that I won't end up like the way he did seeing as I feel pretty healthy and fairly all right, right now.
I guess music, particularly the blues, is the only form of schizophrenia that has organized itself into being both legal and beneficial to society. -Alexis Korner
I think I'm more able to break from some of my paranoid thoughts when I can feel the real positive effects of naturally unique yet lovingly human interactions that can I share with people.
I got to thinking about Louis Wain's situation even more and I figure that maybe the guy was paranoid because it doesn't quite make sense to me how someone could WANT to think themselves into such a deteriorative situation.
I hate to go on about Louis Wain's situation but if you see how his art changes over time and you understand how much direct control he had over the way he chose to paint then its pretty clear how disturbing his life must have become for him. In the end all of his cats no longer looked like cats anymore. They were just fine & faceless geometric. It was as if all he had left in his life to keep him company were these cold, fear based, hyper objectified calculations from from his head.
Very interesting view! Believers of the so called Anti psychiatry movement ask about cures in psychiatry.. medicine is about symptom control. u don't cure hypertension or diabetes but control its manifestations. Small pox has been "cured". Functioning of brain is very complex and our understanding limited.
I think that psychiatry is just in its infancy. I'm sure, when we have a better understanding of the brain, psychiatric treatment will become far more sophisticated and effective.
Maybe so. Right now it can't cure anything at all.
If they ever do come up with a drug that cures mental disorders, I'm all for it but right now psychiatry doesn't have anything to offer in terms of an actual solution.
"Anti-Psychiatry" will never be taken seriously because of the people in it that declare things like, that schizophrenia doesn't really exist. That it is just made up stuff by psycs.
Antipsych people believe that schizophrenia and other mental disorders exist. They just don't think they are brain diseases.
Generally they are psychological problems or psychological symptoms caused by physical illnesses; i.e. urinary tract infections can actually cause hallucination.
There are a few actual brain and central nervous system physical illnesses like stoke damage or MS but the majority of psychiatric diagnoses aren't.
what about schizophrenia and dopamine. first, if you look at a person with Parkinson's Disease (which i think even you might admit, those people are better off with meds than w/o)- they do not produce enough dopamine for their bodies, ppl w schizophrenia produce too much. the results can even be said to be opposites of each other. one results in a physical paralysis like state (parkinsons wo meds), the other in a mental hyper-active like one to the point of hallucination,delusion (scizo).
i believe there is a reason (such as evidence like that) which is why its highly accepted that schizophrenia is a brain issue, not a "urinary tract" issue. which actually makes no sense.
Employers are now asking generic open end question at job interviews and when you ask why they get very Defensive towards you.

@pricey4486 I agree about having an open mind. That is the biggest problem in the profession in my opinion. The claim that behavioral disorder is caused by neuro-development issues is a gross oversimplification that has little proof in most cases. However, too many decisions are made on this theory. I feel like there are, of course, many great psychiatrists. By and large, however, they serve the $2 trillion industry. Money runs everything after all, even medicine to a great degree

Comparing anti-psychiatry to the civil rights movement and woman's movement is a non sequiter. Being a minority does not inherently influence the ability of someone to flourish and function in society. The negative effect of minority status is determined primarily by variables external to the individual. While the norms of expectations of society do influence the way in which we treat the mentally ill, the ability of the individual to function is largely determined by internal variables

Much psychiatric oppression is perpetrated on those of lower economic station and less educated. So in a sense being poor and uneducated can be factors in disempowerment, and general social isolation. As a social and political tranquilizer, psychiatry does seem to have its share of the disempowered citizens.

Psychiatrists thought the hippies were insane because of their sexual promiscuity, psychedelic use, bisexuality, and acceptance of death that sometimes manifested itself as suicide. Most societies through history have held at least one of these traits to be virtues, and psychiatry is just as subjective as any other religion.

hysteria being what it is, I was diagnosed as bipolar at age 16, received a cocktail of drugs at various times (zyprexa, risperdal, lithium, inderal, cogentin, haldol) that made me a practically narcoleptic zombie unable to do any schoolwork. nobody would listen to me when I told them the side effects were too intense. I failed a year of school, watched my friends and peers go to college, while I, formerly an honors student, degenerated. after stopping the meds, I got into college, graduated.

Yes he can, he may even bring the end times. The end of an Era, the end of time-Time being a product of construction. The clock, the second, the minute being a matter of senses and connection. A second to you is a minute to another is a instant to another, which of the three do you think can pull the rug out underneath you so to speak?

What I'm saying is that if he were here he'd probably be kicking ass, mainly the asses of his "followers" E.G. the people enslaved by a bible that had nothing to do with his teachings but built a political empire. Also, the end time already occurerd, Einstein brought it. The next step is merging into the new era where all of this will repeat in some way or another, on and on.

We believe in psychiatry, as any other coercive institution because we have been propagandized to believe in such. Because, all around us, such beliefs have been hammered into us. But so-called mental illness is a metaphor for "difficulties in living". Listen to Dr.Thomas Szasz, whose 50 years of demystifying writings strengthen Breeding's truths! Meaningful communities beyond hierarchy and coercion is key here! See also the Mental Patients Liberation Alliance!

I think that mental health institutions are basicaly power structures inherently working together with the actual value-system most people in a given society share. Thus are tools to reinforce te status-quo of social and cultural prejudices. I other words psychiatry subserves not the individual but the community, it integrates the need of the many to rule over the behaviors of the few and radically different. Thus its a power-game of reinstalling "normalcy".

Fascinating! I admire your spunk--and culture, I' have heard, does play a role in diagnosis....if it is normal for your culture to hear the voices of dead ancestors, it's ok....but if that is not part of your culture, it's not....
Kind of reminiscent of what happened with things like testing at Ellis Island, perhaps.

Perhaps psychiatric illnesses do exist, but so often it is more like America doesn't want to admit the atrocities that happen here. Psychiatry works to silence people whose experiences have not been so picturesque. Can you imagine how it feels to experience rape, incest, or child abuse; then have psychiatrists work with families who perpetrated or enabled these events to tell you that YOU are fundamentally defective? It happens!
SuzieQue1971 3 years ago 2
You do have some very interesting points. I don't think you're wrong, but I don't necessarily think you're totally correct. I do believe that psychiatric illnesses *do* exist. Maybe I am wrong (seriously), but I believe it's been proven that lack of certain hormones / neurotransmitters / etc. can lead to mental illness. These medications, do cure these problems don't they? Maybe your point is, people "want to believe" that they have a label, so they have an easy way out?
WikiPeoples 3 years ago
No psychiatric medications do not cure the problem. They suppress (to a greater or lessor degree) they symptoms.
Like taking a pain killer for a broken leg, it drug covers up the pain but does absolutely nothing to help the broken leg heal.
Or
Like taking over-the-counter flu remedies, they alter the body's response so you don't have a runny nose but it does nothing to attack the virus causing the problem.

That's a good point, I suppose "cure" isn't the appropriate termonology to describe the use of psychiatric medications. That said, I think it's a stretch to advocate that they're useless, right? I don't pretend to know, in all honestly, but my inclination is that these medications can pull people out of "ruts" they might be in, just like flu-medication, pain killers, other such medications are used to HELP you through a difficult experience (not cure it). Your thoughts?
WikiPeoples 3 years ago
Psychiatric medication might be helpful perhaps in extreme cases where there is absolutely no alternative. Currently there is no physiological test which can show that a person has a chemical imbalance. This perhaps can explain why psychiatrists often have a hard time describing a normal brain with balanced chemicals.
In a previous comment you also stated that psychiatric medications cure. I think the more appropriate word to describe the situation is manage, or perhaps mask.

So, good sir, I must ask, where does one draw the line in regards to arguing about biological vs. physiologic vs. individual perspective/experience? Back to things like Alzheimer's disease, multi-infarct dementia...where imaging studies and autopsy post morten show diseased tissue in the brain...perhaps we just haven't gotten to the point of 'imaging' all underlying pathologies.....

Psychiatry is a practice with about 350 mental disorder it's diagnoses and basically five categories of drugs.
Antipsychotics - slow down the CNS
Amphetamines - speed up the CNS
Anxiety medications - Inhibit stress response
Antidepressants - Honestly, scientist don't knows exactly what these do.
Anticonvulsants - slow down the CNS
All disorders are treated with one more of these drugs.

Someone once said when the only tool you have is a hammer your going to see every problem as a nail.
Of course there are about 350 mental disorders. It makes the people who vote on them feel as if they are doing something important.

The worst oppression is to ourselves, not using the brain correctly, and so we project it on everyone else. There are techniques to get a cure for our insane society, but it starts with the individual. I wonder if that would help mental illness. Maybe we could talk. Continuing to make money off the issue can be an incentive to not dealing with ourselves and our issues so we at least aren't oppressing ourselves anymore...

I don't think people can get away with negative -thoughts and -words. We have to change them, and put +spin on them and not use -words. I think we are made that way. Maybe manics need to use -wrds and not +wrds. Even a nuclear reactor needs carbon rods to slow it down and they are removed to speed it up. 1 and 1/2 weeks allowing a bunch of the tinniest -thoughts and they added up to my deepest depression, but it lasted about 3 min, cuz when I stood up it disappeared. I lost respect for -wds.

@psychetruth Antidepressants are SSRIs. They inhibit the reuptake when your dendrites try to send serotonin to the next dendrite. keeping the serotonin within the dendrite when it's maxed out makes you maintain an overload of the feel good chemical. but like ecstasy it burns up the dendrite fibers, but at a slower rate. your body produces less of it naturally when a drug does it for you. A good solution is to get your body to produce serotonin itself to prevent physical and psych. dependencies.
barnumeffect5 1 year ago
@barnumeffect5 This is true regarding SSRI's, at least that's the extent of our knowledge. BUT, this ISN'T how SSRI's work! SSRI's take about 3 weeks or more to start working on mood, however serotonin levels are increased within the first week of treatment, so doesn't this mean that there is another interaction going on, related to the action of serotonin that we don't get know about?

gottenjet 3 years ago
No. The mental health system doesn't need to disappear, it needs to be reformed.
Medications have a place in acute care.
Obviously if someone is bashing their head against a wall, a tranquilizer could be appropriate.
To date, none of the psychiatric medications actually cure the disorders and when chronically used the side effects often result in organ damage and early death.
psychetruth 3 years ago
According to Thomas Szasz an institution based on falsities can not be reformed, it needs to be abolished, and I agree with him.
For example I am what many people would call depressed, pessimist and so on. While they contend that I "need help" I contend that no, I have the right to stay as I am, to stick to my sel identity and take my so called symptoms as part of my understanding of the world good or bad. Therefore I am not "suffering", I am just different and somehow like it. Thanks.

One side effect of psychiatric medication includes not being able to urinate. Imagine needing to use the bathroom badly, but being unable to let out any urine. It is quite a terrible feeling really. May none of you reading this ever have to experience it.
Also I agree - there is logical reason to give a person bashing their head against a wall a tranquilizer to calm them down a bit.

Seabrook78in 3 years ago 3
I've seen a pretty eye opening interview with Psychologist Daniel Fisher about the possible recovery from schizophrenia and other conditions. I think its a video that more people should check out because it shows not only is there hope for recovery but the very fact that he himself successfully had gone to school to become a psychiatrist AFTER being diagnosed as a schizophrenic himself is direct
of what a recovered schizophrenic can achieve.

I hate to go on about Louis Wain's situation but if you see how his art changes over time and you understand how much direct control he had over the way he chose to paint then its pretty clear how disturbing his life must have become for him. In the end all of his cats no longer looked like cats anymore. They were just fine & faceless geometric. It was as if all he had left in his life to keep him company were these cold, fear based, hyper objectified calculations from from his head.

Very interesting view! Believers of the so called Anti psychiatry movement ask about cures in psychiatry.. medicine is about symptom control. u don't cure hypertension or diabetes but control its manifestations. Small pox has been "cured". Functioning of brain is very complex and our understanding limited.

"Anti-Psychiatry" will never be taken seriously because of the people in it that declare things like, that schizophrenia doesn't really exist. That it is just made up stuff by psycs.
TaleThatWasntRight 3 years ago
Antipsych people believe that schizophrenia and other mental disorders exist. They just don't think they are brain diseases.
Generally they are psychological problems or psychological symptoms caused by physical illnesses; i.e. urinary tract infections can actually cause hallucination.
There are a few actual brain and central nervous system physical illnesses like stoke damage or MS but the majority of psychiatric diagnoses aren't.

what about schizophrenia and dopamine. first, if you look at a person with Parkinson's Disease (which i think even you might admit, those people are better off with meds than w/o)- they do not produce enough dopamine for their bodies, ppl w schizophrenia produce too much. the results can even be said to be opposites of each other. one results in a physical paralysis like state (parkinsons wo meds), the other in a mental hyper-active like one to the point of hallucination,delusion (scizo).

i believe there is a reason (such as evidence like that) which is why its highly accepted that schizophrenia is a brain issue, not a "urinary tract" issue. which actually makes no sense.

The "Dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia" is just a theory and a gross over simplification.
You can even find information about it on wikipedia even. It sights the source scientific studies if you care to look into it.
