Okay.... is it just me.... or should those psychiatrists be given some of their own medicine/poison?

Perhaps zapped in the head, even?

Answer 1

Vera Sharav is an idiot. It is just you. No, healthy people do not need ECT to support their professional opinion.

Now, about you. You are a troll. You are a scientologist. The history of psychiaty is less damaging, imhumane and violent than the history of religion, especially cult religion.

&#$%^ You.

Answer 2

Psychiatrists are not common people. Psychiatrists have a different point of view than the rest of society:
“A recent survey in the UK found that 83 per cent of psychiatrists thought that ECT( Electroconvulsive therapy) was more likely to be beneficial than harmful – this figure fell to 69 per cent of mental health nurses and 14 per cent of psychologists.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroconvulsive_therapy

So how come Psychiatrists have such a different point of view than Psychologists and the rest of society?
Whereas Psychologists confronts the human mind or psyche and understand that each person behaviors is an evolution of his own personal experiences. Psychiatrists are unable to confront the human psyche; Psychiatrists don’t care about your emotional issues or traumas; Psychiatrists only deal with man as an object, a biomechanical machine incapable of controlling his mental processes.

How else can you explain Psychiatry barbaric treatments? Like Electroconvulsive therapy, Lobotomies, strait jackets and severe drugging of patients. For them you are not a person; for them you are only a biomechanical machine. People that join the Psychiatric profession do it in order to learn to deal with man in a mechanical way.

The real role of Psychiatry in society is that they are psyche executioners of society. Whenever a person doesn’t conform with the behavioral rules of society they can be sent to a Psychiatrist. And the Psychiatrist enforces the person to conform by the use of multiple control mechanisms; these mechanisms are drugs, electroshock, lobotomies and incarceration (When you are committed into a Psychiatric hospital against your will you are being incarcerated and your freedom is taken away from you. After this the patients are so scared that they will do anything in order to get out of that place.).
The behavioral rules of society are clearly expressed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association.

Answer 3

It is not just the psychiatrists, it's people in general. People today are way too lenient with their kids and way to willing to find someone or something else to blame for their kids' shortcomings and problems.

Some of these kids just need a good kick in the rear or some discipline. Some kids are actually sick, but I would hazard to guess most just need a firmer hand. My kid was diagnosed ADD when he was 10. I pulled him out of public school, gave him work that challenged his mind and never even had to fill the prescription given us by the psychiatrist. He was bored in school, plain and simple.

I was in the grocrey store today, and this kid, a girl about 5 years old, was SCREAMING for her mother. The kid was with her older brother in front of the check out, the Mom was behind me. Did the mother say anything to the kid? No, just laughed. I, meanwhile, wanted to choke that kid. What does this have to do with the question at hand? Well, I can see the kid being diagnosed with ADD or ADHD because she has not been taught proper manners.

Answer 4

The whole thing is a lie. It's something that has been invented to make people take drugs so they are more easily controlled as a population. Psychiatry had a big hand in the Holocaust ( http://www.freedommag.org/english/vol27I5/page05.htm ) and has been experimenting on humans ever since so as to make a more compliant population, even illegally ( http://www.breggin.com/courtorder.html ).

There is no scientific evidence to diagnoses of mental illness ( http://www.newstarget.com/021728.html ).

Large pharmaceutical companies just want to push their drugs on the population and they have the Psychiatric community -- so-called 'medical practicioners' -- to do their bidding ( http://pn.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/40/16/3 ).

To make sure they aren't stopped in their efforts, they have even taken over control of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ( http://www.newstarget.com/020029.html ) whose charter is to ensure they safety of foods taken by Americans. Many of the members of the FDA had Financial interests in drug companies ( http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/articles/big-pharma3.html )

Thankfully, though, Americans decided to install a Democratic Senate who seem to be fixing such thing.

Yet, it is a large alliance and it might seem that nothing can be done to them or against them because of the power they seemingly wield, you can think again. There is something that can be done and it is being done on a daily basis -- bringing criminal Psychiatrists and drug companies to account ( http://www.cchr.org/index.cfm )

Answer 5

I think that is awful young and the parents of the child needs to get a second opinion and read up on it before giving their children those meds.

Answer 6

Whoa! Naked! I've seen crazy kids on TV.

And yes! Psychiatrists do take their own medicine.
Probably the highest percentage of their medicine is taken by themselves.

Answer 7

Your inference is too broad. Are some practitioners out of control? Probably. Of course that's likely to be the case in any field.

Answer 8

I do believe so. one thing to consider is the SSRI scandal. "they work"..."they dont" ....they do they dont...researchers need to make up their mind. neurochemistry is a dangerous thing to **** with. enhancing and preventing the transfer of different brain chemicals if they are not even sure that they work is beyond any comprehention of mine.

Answer 9

Looks like "What_the" has changed his screename. This subject and obsession has gotten very very old.

Answer 10

So you wouldn't consider me crazy if I told you I loved you?
