RE: Psychiatry is Practicing Outdated, Fake Medicine
Thanks :) What I mean is that many professionals are too quick to write people off as mentally unstable. You feel anxious? Its a disease!! You're a little bit depressed? Take pills!! You're angry for something? Should we be concerned with you? I feel like something is not right in this society! Hmm..probably schizfophrenic. We diagnose normal states of mind, normal changes in behaviour and mood is looked upon as not normal. Why are so many young boys diagnosed with ADD? Because all the teachers are women now! Everything is characterized from a female perspective. Sure it will affect young boys. But nooooo..they have ADD. Put them on drugs.
I totally agree with the idea that most doctors are too quick to label a mental illness and prescribe a pill for treatment. I think this big problem might stem from doctors focusing more on symptoms rather than the underlying cause of these symptoms.. Someone who might have been feeling unfulfilled working their retail or accounting or security etc job for the past five years may start to be feeling symptoms of depression, but that does not mean they have depression!!!
