and gently caress na and Scientology with their bunk rear end beef with he science of the soul.

My psychiatrist is a bad bitch. She checks my urine, adjusts my meds, therapizes my rear end thoroughly and effectively.

Discussion questions

1) what is your opinion on psychiatry?

2) where does psychology end and biology begin?

3) why do gay poo poo people hate psychiatry?

4)

My son is 27 and still lives with his mother. He’s battled a bad drug problem, he’s very overweight, and he’s

completely dependent on us for money. He went to college, but he just got a psychiatry degree from a large

university, which isn’t very hard to do. And he hasn’t used it to do anything. My daughter, on the other hand,

is very self motivated. She has a magnificent job, a great husband, and a great house. They’ve been different

for as long as I could remember. Even at a young age, my daughter was always the first one to raise her hand,

while my son would never let go of his mother’s leg. When she talks about our son, my wife always says: ‘We must

have done something wrong.’ I tell her, ‘No. It’s all genetics.’ They both had the same upbringing. It was

random selection. Completely random selection.

only 1% of docs who graduate med school become psychiatrists. tbh, working it isn't bad, it's just like any other form of internal med where you sit around and wait for effects/side-effects and document.

psychiatrists are medical doctors first and go to medical school before specialising

psychologists take university classes where 75% of the people are only there to find out why they are so broken

every person I know taking psychology posts about their anxiety disorders regularly, to break the stigma!!

I will respect psychiatrists more now though, thank you.

it's really cool waiting an hour to see your psychiatrist for 10 minutes max. Diagnoses are bullshit and nobody can be helped because depression is just the answer to life and means you're smarter than other people.

Yeah i'm pretty sympathetic with this kind of sentiment. i feel like someone would have to be pretty stupid to not be sad and scared and angry a lot.

But i scheduled myself an appointment to see a psychiatrist next month and have arranged for my previous psychiatrist to send my medical information to the new psychiatrist who i'll be seeing. It's been several years since the last time i saw a psychiatrist and i feel really emotionally conflicted about it. It's like yeah, i'm very often having nasty thoughts and experiencing unpleasant emotions and am not looking forward to the rest of my life, but i'm also capable of functioning and accomplishing stuff without any meds or therapy. i suppose i can always just see the psychiatrist and then decide to disregard any or all of his advice and/or prescriptions. That's what happened the last time i had an appointment with a dietitian! And i never wear that night guard that i was pressured into buying at the dentist's office.

suicide is the only answer. it really is. who's honestly going to care if any of us died tomorrow? nobody who would care matters, anyway, so let's just do it. you, me, everybody. let's go die, guys.

MD headshrinkers live in a world where they don't really want to drown everything that comes in their office in drugs but also know that there's a huge body of evidence out there that says that's the only thing that is documented to actually work.

The other kind are just poo poo eating hand wavers.
