The doctor who hears voices part 2

[cbohar84]

This "doctor" is a true dumbass!

[sodaluvar]

i agree with this doctor meds suppress the thoughts and sht..the thoughts wud eventually come back...

[thestrugglewithin]

I absolutely LOVE the silence that follows after Rufus puts that 'leading psychiatrist' in his place when he reveals that HE HIMSELF was one of his patients!

EPIC FAIL.

[winstono75]

Whether we agree with what Rufus is saying to the "leading psychiatrist", it is safe to say that the psychiatrist is responding in a very immature way. Judging from seeing that psychiatrist here, I don't think he has the empathy to be able to help anyone. But he probably believes his personality is irrelevant anyway. His observation and analysis are sufficient to prescribe the correct medicines.

[CascadeKardashian]

Go Rufus! Antipsychotics simply diminish total mental functioning in the frontal lobe, shutting you down, turning off all thoughts both hallucinatory and sane, making you a drooling non human. The frontal lobe is a part of the brain that makes us differ from animals. Antipsychotics make you stupid. If you hear voices, talk back to them. If you see a unicorn, pet him.

[fantasticanime2010]

this doctor is so disguisting in my opinion. he says ruth's voices tell her to kill other ppl and says thats progress then laughs. i feel like im gonna vomit. that dr needs to go back to the mental facility he was in. OMG RUTH NEEDS MEDICATION. SHE JUST JUMPED IN FRONT OF A DUMP TRUCK. the woman staring at them was cracking me up.

[icaleod]

haha Rufus is great!

[shorteylove]

That is wired.. That she should hit him s: I don't see how he is helping her!

[Cotdail]

Surely the prescribers don't know it most of the time?

[steph8552]

"when rufus was 18 he went mad"

he still bloody is mad, he's a danger to his patients.

[shorteylove]

@steph8552 agreed!

[WarpedSpaceTime]

I think that one problem is that society places too much demand on each individual to "Succeed " in life. People try there best to succeed in life that they forget about innerselves and live a life that is comparitable to some other persons life. This could seem like too much on the mind and we suffer mentally from our failures of approaching this ideal picture in society. Everybody around us just pushes us. Find yourself within, you can can find some solutions to your mental anguish.

they gave me seroquil for a mood disorder. that shit is fucking death , i felt dead . It turns out the mood disorder wasnt that bad and i fully recovered by stopping the meds.

[vbakster2]

no one addressed the war between good and evil, demonic opression  ----it is real, folks

people who TRUST in CHRIST get healed of those horrific voices. It is TRUE, I PROMISE

[LeeAnne2001]

Consider this some people have been helped by nutritional supplements. Some have not. Some people have been helped by meds. Some have not... Some people's brains rebuild/regenerate. Some do not

It's ideal and all to fix people the most natural way possible, but not always possible.

[LeeAnne2001]

The reality is people have been helped by meds, and some people have not. We do not know the mechanism exactly. It's true the USA is TERRIBLE at overdiagnosing. However there are people who have taken meds, who swear the meds are helping. Patty Duke, Richard Dreyfus anyone?

Excellent? She just ran in front of a truck and it if did not stop, she could've been injured, or dead.

[shoegalsho]

I agree that for some people the medication effects them in this way but medication helped me vastly! My parents have said that recently they have not seen me like this since I was 12 years old and I feel it! Drugs do work. Let not write off non medication and lets not write off medication. Let the patient choose. Both methods are valid.

[oscarian]

if only there was a way i could get in touch with this man.

[scrubs21]

I managed to track down his email, he sent me an email back...Which i thought was pretty cool.

[darguey17]

im working with him on april 7th in the hospital where he works! my lecturer is a friend of his and got me some work experience shadowing him! im so excited!

[ladybard1968]

Anti psychotics do not help people. These psychiatrists are dilussional. Anti psychotics make you feel so ill you become quiter that is all. They do not stop the voices they make them worse.

[mixjayb2k]

they've put me on so meny different types of medication and i still hear voices one made me fill so sleepy that i couldn't be assed to do anything at all i just feilt more depressed i've stop taking them now the doctors think i still am.

[terratagONE]

I have to agree with Rufus the drugs make make you stupid an they make you act mental.A psychosis or schizophrenia is a experience only if the experience upsets the person should it be classed a illness.

[RickMoonbeam]

Ruth has been diagnosed as being "bi-polar" we are told. In my experience this has always been a euphemism for being a drunk. I smell a rat,,, a big junk science rat! Is Ruth just a boozer? I rather suspect she is.

[jenni560]

This comment does not even warrant intelligent debate! I wouldn't even know how to engage with you at such a low level.

[RickMoonbeam]

If you have any doubt about "manic-depression" being a cover up for being a drunk jenni560 then go to the Stephen Fry stuff, "The Secret Life of the Manic Depressive", which is elsewhere on YouTube (along with my comments) and see for yourself. Everyone in it's a lush.

[TrillionMcMillan42]

Hello again! I've had a look at the video's and your comments and I think the problem is a confusion between cause and effect, what you see are people who drink and this being the basis for their 'symptoms' (mania and depression). In actuality many people who are depressed drink a lot in order to feel happier, at first this works but of course alcohol is actually a depressant so it makes it worse in the end. For the mania part people drink because their inhibitions are lower and they seek out

[TrillionMcMillan42]

thrills and excitement by for example drinking lots of alcohol. The relationship is depression or mania -> drink alcohol, not the other way around.

[thestrugglewithin]

@jenni560

Its people like this "RickMoonbeam" that somehow establish themselves as doctors and propagate ludicrous treatments such as EST and frontal lobotomy's - which clinically acceptable procedures not long ago - wherein if you (regardless of your professional credentials) were to critique mainstream "medicine", you'd be a laughing stock. Hows that for a combination of Normalcy Bias and Milgrams Obedience to authority experiment 1962?!!! (you can watch it on YT)

[RickMoonbeam]

This critic of psychiatry is, it appears, employed by the health service. Any real enemy would not be allowed into a debate with a leading psychiatrist. Rufus May just remodels schizophrenia instead of debunking it. There is no "schizophrenia" of any sort in the fist place but that fact would put May out of business.

[jenni560]

Again a massive assumption here that being employed by the health service means you cannot be opposed to the practices of another member or 'enemy' as you put it. Of course a real 'enemy' would be allowed into the debate, this is part of the reason Rufus wanted to go into the health service in the first place!

[jenni560]

The second point you made makes a little more sense but there are problems again! Rufus is trying to argue that there is no catch all category called 'schizophrenia' but he does not deny the individual experiences of people hearing voices or experiencing 'delusions'. Clumping them all together is clearly unhelpful but it is not wrong to say that a person might want some support to understand a very real experience of hearing voices.

[RickMoonbeam]

"If I told this to a normal person,,," chortles one of Mr May's "patients". Thus the untruth of hearing voices gives this person a certain status as being different. Wise up to it people.

[jenni560]

Are you saying that these voices are all lies, people don't really hear them?

[maymaycat15]

Would you mind loading the rest of it please. I'm enjoying it.

[jenni560]

Yes, sorry just been having trouble with the 3rd part, will get it done asap.
