Why can´t psychiatrists cure serious mental disorders ?

Question

Because, deceived by pseudo-scientific materialism, they don´t accept the possibility that there might be satanic possessions. Only faith can attain what modern pseudo science has failed to do.

Answer 1

Well it's true, a person's belief is stronger than medicine sometimes, faith can heal or injure. A person who wants to be sick will never be cured no matter how much time and money is spent, unless they get the cure they desire. After all it's literally "in your mind" and no one can get in there. They can use drugs to blur your mind, or electro-shock therapy to try "re-wiring" it drastically, literally forcing you to think differently, the same as people recovering from strokes or major brain injuries learn to. Much of dementia is caused simply by letting our minds go. Do I believe in satanic possessions? I'm not sure, but I believe there is potential for great good or great evil in every person, it's a battle waged within us every moment, and sometimes people feel the best way to face temptation is to yield to it and then claim they are a victim, "temporary insanity", or even demonic "possession." I don't know, but I believe evil requires a human body, a physical presence, in order to have power. And it's too easy to have a cop out like saying "I can't help myself". If a person is possessed I doubt any "exorcism" could work unless they want it to. But I'd like to know if any study was ever done to see if people with no religous beliefs ever get "possessed"?

Answer 2

Actually, that could be the answer, or the real answer could be that 99.9% of all the people out there today that have serious mental disorders, don't really have mental disorders at all... They're either dooped into thinking that they have something that they don't by those around them, or, they lie to themself so much that they actually start beleiving they have something serious, OR, they just want cool medications to get high off of, so they look up on the internet what someone has to do to be diagnosed with a certain disorder so they can pretend and get the medications they want.

Now, with that being said, when a doctor doesn't know this, and diagnoses someone with something... Say there are 100 people falsely diagnosed with "disease (a)," and 90 of those people have problems sleeping, and 70 of them have a short fuse in temperment (because they are addicts, they probably drink alot, therefore may have short fuses). A new publication will be put out about "disease (a)," telling other doctors to watch out if your patients have problems sleeping, or short fuses, because they may have this disease.

Psychiatrists have a rough job determining what people have, unless they take a long time knowing you, they can't diagnose you with anything. With the information available on the internet today, anyone can find out what they want to have, and convince themselves (and their psychiatrists) that they have it.

Then with all the false symptoms going around, it is near impossible to come up with a secure diagnosis, and even more impossible to come up with a cure to any given disease, it's societies fault.

Answer 3

Psychiatrists DO in fact cure serious mental disorders. If you need proof, take a look at this RESEARCH (a word that doesn't exist in the bible) paper on the efficacy of DBT on Borderline Patients.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=10729937&dopt=Citation

Oh wait - is self harm and suicidal attempts and ideation considered a serious mental disorder to you?

Here are a few more;

Efficacy of Symbyax in treating bipolar disorder

There is no proof in the efficacy of faith in curing anything, let alone mental disorders - if there were, psych centers would be replaced with churches.

I have a quick question though - You're not Tom Cruise by any chance, are you?

I know it's impossible to reason with an religeoud imbucil, but once in a while, it's kinda fun to give them stick!

Cheers

Answer 4

Erm...in answering your question, psychiatrists are trained in medical science to treat patients with mental disorders. Even though science has advanced this far, our brain is still a complex organ. There is still much to unravel.

Even if the psychiatrist somehow thinks that it is a demonic possession, it is not in their professional capacity to "diagnose" and "prescribe" anything outside medical science. He can only try his best to prescribe medication to treat the symptoms and make the patient feel better. (less depressed, less hallucinations etc).

If you truely believe that it is a satanic possession, then seek a priest instead of a psychiatrist. He is only a doctor and not God.

Answer 5

Hi. The disorders used to be considered demonic possession. The cure was death. I'd rather talk and take a pill.

Answer 6

Well, that is a possibility I suppose, but, I would say that psychological disorders cannot be "cured" to begin with. They may be treated, but not cured. Good Luck!!!!

Answer 7

Plenty of research is being conducted to cure/prevent mental disorders. It takes time.

Answer 8

You can't answer your own question in the question.

Answer 9

i am not saying i disagree......


but why ask a question if you already have the answer????


what am i missing here???
