I'm Sick of All That GROSS! HEAVY JUNK Food. It's DIETs now. Salad and Eating Right. Men try to Come on to me acting all Ghetto and I think they are MORONS!

This older guy eating Fried KFC wanting to go out and offering me Chicken and saying I Have Big Ones. WTF????

Personally i feel they are glorified drug pushers.Not that i've had much 2 do with them, but my Ex Wife does have a psychiatric condition:(Bi Polar/Manic Depressive,whatever the trendy term 4 being"different" is these days)Actually she was so difficultly different that we split up.In the end a bit of drug therapy+ group therapy+Art therapy+Natural Therapy's got Her stablelised.
Sad thing though, my son and had some very scarey day's!At least at the moment we're all friends & on amicable terms.Yes, a psychiatrist will keep you coming back forever, if they can. It's there ' Bread and butter'.This also contributes 2 the problem 2 the patient, who in their Low state thinks, "if the Dr. tells me 2 keep coming back and giving Medication there must be something terribly Wrong with me!"

The reality is that 97 % of people who really "need help" can't help themselves because they are in it too deep

Who believes Psychiatrists Are People who Will Keep Ya With Them Forever?

Henceforth, who Needs them? I say work out your own Problems. Do it Naturally and with all kinds of Oriental Techniques. Though Support Groups are a Help. Try and Self Help. Who's with me on this?
Psychiatrists weren't any help at all.

My opinion is that one should try 2 work out their issues with support groups,
religion, friends & family, natural medicine like vitamins & herbs, homeopathy, and the like, first, & with lots of people these alternative methods work. However, there R some people who need professionals help. I mean a psychiatrist, not psychologist or social worker. (although these professionals also have their importance in the mental health area) A psychiatrist will delve deep into the mind, of the patients past, and subconscious thinking. They also can prescribe the needed meds (if they R needed) and find which one of the many there R that are RIGHT 4 THAT patient. This might take many months alone.

FLUX: I work as a volunteer @ a Activity Centre 4 people with Mental Health Problems.We go & Perform Regularly,as we've got a band in which myself & a paid Psychosocial Worker Play Guitar & Keyboards, Etc. so these poor souls can have a sing These people aren't getting any psychological help, only drug therapy.If you are shizophrenic the Psychiatrist generally puts them on a endless roller coaster ride of Drugs.Obviously the ones in our music group aren't really bad cases(actually they are ) .Getting onstage & singing gives these afflicted people such pride in themselves that it is priceless as a therapy.But never will most of them get of the roller coaster of Drugs.Psychoanalasis is expensive & here in Australia no Psychiatrists do it. They just give out horrid drugs which disable the poor folk with side effects.I'll tell u though that some of these people in our Music Performance Group have more guts than i've ever seen, and they practice & rehearse. Psychiatry is a mediaeval science of trial & error. I see it. There are no choices in extreme cases of Mental Disorder, only band aids, which at least stabilise them 4 varying periods of time. Personally i think a Psychiatrist is the last resort offered, Every other Therapy should be tried 1st.

Just remember that Psychologists and Psychatrists are different from each other. I would much prefer a Psychiatrist over a Psychologist.
