If psychiatry were to be annihilated, the worldwide problems would cease to exist

You're all fools of the media propaganda. Psychiatry is a mass population stabilization project aimed towards controlling the masses' both socially and economically, all the while , securing absolute power for corporate America

the best way to treat yourself is surround yourself with people who will be receptive to how you are feeling and thinking. You will stretch your spiritual boundary that way and allow yourself to see what your problems are.

it really sucks if you live in a an area where the people in the metnal health service are not very professional. THat is often a factor in small run down towns. All the therapy in the world cannot change the area you live in. I am a great beleiver an area of poor performers can drive a person down

I was intially relieved to receive a diagnosis, but it soon became my identity. I became obsessed with my "illness" and often used it as an excuse. I even label myself and treat myself as a victim like Trisha described. My therapist and previous therapist's I've seen have told me they believe that a diagnosis is just a way of putting you "in a box" to make you easier to treat. It can be quite unhealthy for the patient who then takes on the persona of the "broken, sick person"
