"The fact of the matter is that there is no such thing as a "chemical imbalance" diagnosed by psychiatrists; this was a market-place concept invented in 60's put forth at a Congressional hearing in 1970 and ever since, the stuff of a "big lie"…"chemical imbalances" for which to prescribe and sell "chemical balancers" …pills. What's more the FDA is a full partner in this. They know all drugs as foreign compounds are poisons who's benefits are to be carefully weighed against the risks of the disease to be treated. They at the FDA know there are no diseases/physical risk in the psychiatry risk vs. benefit analysis and yet, along with the psychopharm cartel they push the fraudulent notion of psychiatric "disease"/"chemical imbalance."

Remember this, everybody can be full of crap sometimes, whether they are experts or not. As a society, we have been completely full of crap many times in history, and we will be again.
Given that context, you are right, psychiatrists can be full of crap. Drug companies are very powerful. I don't doubt for a second that there are many cases of unnecessary diagnosis of psychiatric problems. I once heard that 1/3 of the population has some psychiatric problem. Baloney! That's how you know the definition is too broad. Remember what Rodney Dangerfield (I think) said, and I paraphrase, "the only normal people are the ones you don't know too well." If nobody is normal, then everybody is normal.

Over ten years, (with meds, conservative doctors, and personal research) every medicine I've tried has made a difference--whether good or bad, but I resist believing that it's completely greedy science. I've realized over periods of several months, with different medications, that particulars do improve several personal aspects beyond my personal chemical ability to think, feel, and do. For those like me who trust and see the long-term benefits, I see pills in a Venn Diagram. Which one will cover up what's missing the best?, if they really are effective for you. Unfortunately, it is trial by error...and if certain meds cause damage, the one's that work are worthwhile to discern if they make the younger years of my life (20-65) better. Whatever the consequences, I'm firmly convinced, with friends and relatives feedback, that I'm better with than without. But med treatments without supportive therapy is diluted and less time-effective.

that's a fascinating difficulty. the government coverage is that the flight plans of those planes (whether the President is on board or not) is 'might desire to renowned' in basic terms. The close by aviation government and the Mayor have been cautioned (a minimum of on the bureaucratic point). the wide-unfold public replaced into not. Is that the fault of the administration for following written coverage or the fault of the Mayor's place of work for honoring written coverage? properly for sure for that reason an empowered determination maker might desire to have the two canceled the flight or made the plans generic. plenty has been made approximately getting a 'image-op' yet that replaced into in basic terms a secondary reason for the flight (and the accepted reason for the flight course). however the flight replaced into for education. yet are you able to think of the mock outrage that is heaped upon the administration if that they had purely image-shopped the airplane over NYC?

I think that psychiatrists and pharmaceutical companies are full of crap because I have had OCD and depression since age 5...I tried countless SSRI meds that were supposed to help the neurotransmitters in my brain and when none of them helped or gave me horrible side effects including seizures I got labeled "treatment resistant"....I think it's all about these companies and doctors making money because I have talked to way too many people who have gotten no relief off of these "miracle drugs"....

Ah, they have let the patients out into the day room, I see.
How long will they let you use the computer before they make you take your meds and go back to your room?
