I think the word Therapist is aptly named, I agree that these Therapists Rape your mind. Anyone agree? Disagree?

Hi there,

My question is, does the way a person is admitted into a psych ward or mental hospital affect the way they are treated in there?

How can a 'paranoid' person safely say they were treated well? Is it beyond the scope of humanity to have a Doctor understand the person being admitted, or does that make him insane too?

What degree of empathy should be involved?

Is it a lack of empathy that makes the experience horrible?

i am really sad all the time and i HATE therapy....i am hesitant to go on antidepressants again. Before they upset my stomach so i had to stop. I really want to feel better because i dont want to do anything right now, like go out or anything. I just really want to feel better. I would like to know if there is anything else besides antidepressants and therapy to get through this...

I have had OCD/ health anxiety issues since childhood. I have been on medication for years and am gradually weaning off it. I have also had CBT. Recently my health anxiety is getting worse. I am now 30. I stopped smoking a few weeks ago and have had no trouble staying quit. I drank a lot for the past 10 years but have recently cut way back on the alcohol. I am still convinced I am going to have a heart attack or stroke any minute. My heart is fine. I had a panic attack last week and got checked out and my blood pressure is good. My pulse rate is always pretty high from anxiety. I don't even want to exercise because of the fear of dropping dead from the strain. I can't get counselling at the moment for various reasons. Basically, I am not looking for advice, but rather hearing stories from others who have had somatoform disorders.

I just had an attack or something. It feels like I'm going crazy. This is about number 15 I have had this happen. What triggered it was that I'm so overwhelmed and stressed out that I just snapped on my little sister. I was crying and my head began to pound. I couldn't hardly breathe. Do you no what could be wrong with me? I know crazy but a disorder maybe? I'm ashame to talk to the doctor face to face so what do u think? But the real reason is my baby father never help out with his 3 kids. And he's out having fun everyday and night and leave me here with the kids all day like I'm a house wife. He dont even work. I can't take this anymore.

My neice just admitted to me that she's a cutter. She has asked me to not involve her father at this point and I promised her I wouldn't.
But honestly, I'm really worried for her.

I've always had a really close relationship with my neice and more so since her mother died almost two years ago. She's 14 and just about to move away from everything she's ever known. My brother (Her father) is moving her and her little sister down to Florida in about a month and I know this impending move has contributed to her fragile emotional state...especially since his decission to do this came just months after her mother's death.

My brother has a HUGE temper when pushed. He had massive rage issues growing up and has learned to control his emotions to the point of denying any emotions at all. His feelings about mental illness is that it's just something people should learn to "get over."

But I don't know how to help her...

I'm very depressed & can't get past events out of my mind. It really hurts. I'm in a better environment now & happy to live alone, but I can't stop thinking about the abuse I've gone through all my life. I even have nightmares about the abuse I went through, & I wake up, thinking it was real.

Nothing is going right in my life, & I have to suffer consequences for what's beyond my control. I have a college degree & can't even get a job. It feels like I went to school for nothing. I have a degree in Spanish & can only say basic sentences because all I was taught was ancient literature. I get SSI & Social Security & I want a good job, but I can't get a job in my field because I'm not fluent enough.

I have a lot of financial issues, & my finances got screwed up because of Hurricane Katrina & there's nothing I can do right now to fix my debt. No one wants to hire me on a job because of disability discrimination, & my benefits only pay enough for me to have home, lights, & food.

I am 16 years old and going to be in 11th grade. My brother is now 23. I don't mean to sound whiny and sorry for myself this is just the way it is.
When I was 4 my parents got divorced. When I was 7 my dad, who did drugs and drank killed himself. My mom drank a lot too, but has been sober for almost 10 years and is so great. My brother started having problems when he was around 15, got into drugs and drinking and was put on many different medications. He was always angry. He eventually got better and stable until January when he slashed my mom and her boyfriend's tires. My mom and I had to immediately move out. He is now back on medication but is still depressed and his medicine isn't just right. Money is also pretty tight right now. But for as long as I can remember I have been depressed. I show all the signs, irregular sleeping and eating patterns, weight changes, irritable, lack of interest, low self-esteem, and most recently, always on the verge of tears. I guess my question is

What were your experiences? What did the person say to you? Did they call the police? How long did they talk to you? Are you glad you called? How did the call end? Did they connect you to other mental health resources? Please tell me anything you can about what happened when you called a suicide hotline.

I was diagnosed with clinical depression some years back, but had gotten treatment for it and had been in remission when I first met my husband. Every now and then, I have depressive episodes and feel like I make it hell for my family when I get into it. Because I met my husband when I "was happy" so to speak, I'm not sure he fully understands the scope of depression and how to deal with it....

Apart from taking anti-depressants, how else can I make life easier for my husband and children when I'm going through these hard times?
