Is Psychiatry a big lie ??

Question

Over the last five years my parents have put me in mental hospitals eight times.
If I told my mother to screw off.... she would have the police pick me up and I would be put in a mental hospital. She would tell them that I was acting badly or whatever else.
I have been diagnosed with:
-ADD
-Borderline personality disorder
-Bi-polar Disorder
-Bio-Schizo Affective disorder
-Body Dismorphic disorder
-Schizophrenia
-Obsessive compulsive

My mother told them that I was jogging with weights in a backpack. So they diagnosed me with a mental illness.
-She told them that I didn't always wash my dishes.... so they diagnosed me with a mental illness.

I sleep fine. Always have. I don't go "manic". Never have. I've never harmed anyone. I don't hallucinate.... don't think anyone is out to get me... I have pretty good self esteem. I don't hear voices... never have.

So you tell me.... is psychiatry just COMPLETE BS ?

Answer 1

xsdapop is correct , you are a liar. stop playing games with people on yahoo. people go here for help. on one hand you say psychiatry is BS and no good, and on the other hand you answer peoples questions, saying you are a psychiatrist, and encourage them to take medications from a psychiatrist and giving them a diagnosis, complete with treatment options, including ect. stop wasting your time here and do something with your life. you are not helping anybody here. you are representing yourself as a psychiatrist to people here and giving out dangerous diagnosis, and medication options, with out thinking about the consequences of your actions. if you get pleasure out of hurting peoples lives, then u are the one who needs help you are an intelligent and articulate person from the way u answer other peoples questions. do something positive, to help yourself, or others. the answer to your question is no, psychiatry is not b s.

Answer 2

Sounds like you've had a really rough time, and that bites big time...however...

The nasty thing about psychosis is that the person suffering from it is usually the last one to realise it.

As far as I know, psychiatric hospitals aren't exactly crying out for patients, so there needs to be a pretty good reason for you to have been admitted - especially five times...

I think the first thing you need is someone who will actually listen to you, professional or not - and I'd also suggest getting away from mum...

A lot of psychiatrists are a giant waste of space, and as far as I can tell a fair percentage have "issues" of their own, but they are just like any other group of people, there are good ones and bad ones. If your mechanic wasn't servicing your car satisfactorily, you'd find a new one - treat yourself better than you treat your car.

Good luck...I think you may need it....

Oh, and whatever you do, don't take any advice you get here on Y!A as being anywhere near a medical opinion - vent by all means, but as the kids say, "get help."

Answer 3

well in order to be schizo you would need to hear or see something others dont and believe in what you are hearing as to be real life.

psychiatry is not bs however it is under developed compared to the medical field. People with psychiatric problems are hard to deal with and most people entering the psychiatric field adobt the idea that these people are irrational and crazy. They treat them with the same drugs that often aren't effective.

Answer 4

Answer 5

it is a big box of crap.
if it were for real, they would not just let you talk and them listen.
They prescribe crap that does nothing and you have to deal with it on your own.
