Medicating Children w/ Psychiatric Drugs Part 1, Psychology John Breeding

[Transmintosity]

Who will psychiatrize the dysfunctionality of psychiatrists, their moral and spiritual dysfunctionality, their dysfunctionality relative to medico-ethical principles, constitutional principles? Remember that when anyone tells you that your social dysfunction is diseased in character.

[Transmintosity]

Only in societies where totalitarians pullulate and tyrannize those who wander from the prescribed course does this strange redefinition of the ideological and philosophical as scientific truth take place. You have trouble socializing, working, or to abase myself with that most insipid, soporific of phrases, 'making a contribution to society', your dysfunctionality is symptomatic of an illness. It is just disease relativism gone mad.

[Transmintosity]

Modern psychiatry is just a Pharma-subsidised ego-trip, also judging people pursuant to the ordinances of the collectivist state, where the true individual is judged to be ill according to his/her instrumentality, his/her willingness to goosestep in harmony with the automatised herd. What really fizzles my bile, inter alia, is all these gargantuan egotists and totalitarian tossers, asserting, as if absolute, that social functioning and dysfunctioning are objective criteria for mental illness.

[Transmintosity]

I feel like a corpse wrapped in synthetic skin. A couple of vultures just knocked on my door, and started pecking at me as soon as I opened. I've long since decomposed. Decomposition is so last year.

Now many people whom I know very well, such as my boyfriend tell me I act like I have no emotions and that sometimes when he's with me it feels robotic like I can't live in the moment. People would deny this or even laugh at it, but I think the unusually small amount of medication I took many years ago is 100% responsible for this partly because I was always known as an extremely spirited and sensitive/emotional person. Flattened emotions are the most common side effect of any psychotropics.

[anika3171]

It may have never been psychological at all other than teenage angst mixing with the neurological effects of accumulating porphyrins in my system from a genetic disorder that comes and goes when it has a trigger, such as hormones from puberty. I was a truly helpless victim of their hideous, emotionally abusive, and irrational methods.

[anika3171]

I had to take a beginning dose of abilify and zoloft for about 8 or 9 months and he automatically raised the dose if I said anything at all basically and it made me feel like shit but he was complaining to my mom about why I wouldn't talk to him lol. When my parents realized it was harmful they ended the madness as quickly as possible and when I got out of high school I became a straight A student in college. Now that I understand what was going on, I think I may have had a Porphyria attack.

[anika3171]

I was the perfect child, quiet, obedient, sweet, polite, achieving and when I hit puberty I started rebelling against my parents like crazy because I felt that because my parents sheltered me they were wrong and at fault for the lonliness and bullying I faced. I did some very odd things, and eventually ended up in the hospital for a few days. I would not talk to shrinks, there is something very disengenuous about them. I had no diagnosis but he was leaning towards bipolar crap.

[alienbaroque]

The overprescription of psychotropics by psychiatrists to patients who aren't truly diagnosed is criminal. The patient is treated more like a broken machine. The crime, as grandiose as it may sound, is that, the doctor isn't feeling with the patient. And this is a whole other can of worms. For their to be any healing, within the proper therapeutic framework, of course, the doctor must feel on some level what the patient is feeling. It's the only way. Jesus wept with Lazarus' family.

[ccc771]

i totally agree once again with all the points you make in this video John. Involuntary treatment is a form of torture and is no different than the rendition of terrorist suspects and holding then in jail many without a proper trial. I dont know what the answer is to terrorism or mental health systems which treat people this way but it sure ant the answer. P.S. congrats you've reached 1000 videos i see!

[catgumart]

To me Its not "illness" but a CONDITION of a person the causes of which can be one-few or many.Some may outgrow,transcend or heal from their difficulties because of some change in themselves or the environment, others may have a lifelong condition that ebbs & expands-I've always had the difficulties I experience & feel I always will- it's annoyingly impossible to convey these difficulties to people. I think It largely comes down to money & how much we want to invest in being ethical.

[AlterEgoTrip]

@catgumart being ethical then doesn't even need a question, it is an unquestionable choice.. because if you don't think this way, you get into psychopathic territory where you place certain value on life and other value on another life.. its too dangerous.. it has to be across the board ethical, in a pure standard, as in "do no harm".

[catgumart]

@AlterEgoTrip

My point was that people have difficulties (stigmatized mentally ill) & rather than investing $ toward good, healthy, holistic means of therapy, rehabilitation & cultivating acceptance, tolerance & social flexibility etc--our society would rather label people & put them on pharmaceuticals, regardless of the negative side effects, because it's easy & heck it makes money--instead of doing the right thing which would be finding healthy solutions which could cost money (in short term)

[catgumart]

@AlterEgoTrip

I agree "Do no harm" but that is easy to say.One obstacle to this is that people are confused on what is right and wrong because of various factors-they've learned wrong-or are in a state of present confusion due to different influences-also just basic human interaction is difficult (for me it is) -who can get through a life without having episodes of bad judgement or making mistakes- or to coming to forks in the road where right and wrong is ambiguous?

[rowejam072000]

@catgumart well put

[catgumart]

@rowejam072000

Thanks-I know I'm not perfect & I work on it in my way-when someone says you should know the right path at all times, I have to disagree respectfully.I like that the person is for the good & righteous- that is what I aim for as well- but I believe it needs to be tempered with a certain type of flexibility,not acquiescence, but a healthy degree of human understanding, compassion,mercy, patience, while remaining firm in principle rather than acting on every suspicion, & condemning.

[rowejam072000]

@catgumart Its hard to explain that to people who seem to have no patience on another person's view, it seems typical for them to act on every suspicion instead of listening attentively

[tedbetter]

I have watched many of Dr. Breeding's videos and have liked them all and found them to be educational, insightful and full of loving wisdom. I have great respect for Dr. Breeding. I look forward to buying and reading Dr. Breeding's book.

[brder4ev]

Mental Illness is kin to confusion, there is a time in every ones life when each is confused and a time in every ones life when they feel insignificant to the point that mental illness comes to the mind. There is no such thing!

[hypnofan35]

What seems to occur is that people have a very strong basic drive to adapt to a kind of social bias. It is very difficult for some people. It seems like people are allowed to think, but only under social constraints with serious value and direction skewing. We are "pressured" right out of self balancing conceptuality. It's hard for people. There might be some kind of plan or agenda with all that.???

[ProthoPectore]

turned into a george carlin skit there at the end....

your a good guy doc.

[spaggs111]

psychiatric jargon @ 9:30 is so awesome!

[FrankieFrankenmeiste]

I took issue with this long before, but now that I am actually the survivor of a severe brain injury, I have much more evidence of this at my disposal... At one point, I asked whether my residual issues were physical or mental, I got the real truth...

[IamTheAntiMartyr]

I am living proof of exacly what you are talking about Dr. Breeding. Lamictal almost killed me with Stevens Johnsons Syndrome. The one and only time I attempted suicide was after being on prozac for a month and a half. I self injured while on lithium. I dont take any of it anymore. And yeah, I may be a little moody...but I'm not crazy. I sleep eight hours a night....I couldnt do that while on meds. My treatment now? Music therapy and good nutrition.

@IamTheAntiMartyr Way to go!
