Psychiatry is the branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mental, emotional and behavioral disorders.
A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (an M.D. or D.O.) who specializes in mental health, including substance use disorders. Psychiatrists are qualified to assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological problems.
People seek psychiatric help for many reasons.
The problems can be sudden, such as a panic attack, frightening hallucinations, thoughts of suicide, or hearing "voices." Or they may be more long-term, such as feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiousness that never seem to lift or problems functioning, causing everyday life to feel distorted or out of control.
If you recover from a problem by means of a psychiatric treatment. Why should you not believe in this branch of medicine? It has to have a name though so you do not go with your broken leg there.
1) The symptoms you have presented here have been considered positively in the past and psychiatry presents a negative or degraded presentation of human nature.
2) No actual cures. (whatever that might mean)
3) schizophrenia is a centrally proposed illness but still after so long no one seems to know what it is or what causes it, if it is an illness at all.
4) The drugs given are dangerous. The Wonder Drugs of recent description are all now under dangerous drugs lists.
5) psychiatry is rhetorical, not scientific. It says it understands and cures but doesn't. It names illnesses but has no idea what they are and in the end if they exist at all.
I find it difficult to see psychiatry as ethical. All the millions addicted to psychotropic drugs, and what does psychiatry do, pretend it never happened. Lobotomy? Oh, it was successful after all and recently doctors have spoken about using the operation again. Rewriting history? ECT? Never harmed anyone.
I have clients given drugs for depression whose short-term memories have been badly affected. Psychiatrists ignore this. Their doctors insist they must keep taking the drugs. They never take responsibility, never teach students the real history of their profession regaling them instead with imaginary triumphs.
Unfortunately, there is little truth behind proclaimed illnesses but, I suggest, their drugs are causing many illnesses they proclaim so readily.
Through my discussions with clients I am convinced that psychiatric drugs are causing mental illness, But psychiatry and psychiatrists control reality.
For me the psychiatric nosology is absurd and it relates only to big pharma business. Mental illness is a matter of somatized stress, mainly in the myofascial system, and of the way the brain copes with it
I found this in two ways, also my suspicions had already been aroused by lobotomy, which began in Fascist countries. Objectification of people and authoritarianism. Connections with USA as well. Fascism had some beginnings there, or rather the German version as a group of American psychiatrists, racist in perspective, returned to Germany and set up racist and authoritarian groups fixated on Jews as well as Black people. (US, use of black people in experiments-all here on my work.)
Anyway, the first experiment in extermination in Germany in a children's hospital run by a psychiatrist working directly with the Nazis government. It got worse. Most German doctors supported Nazis and nearly all psychiatrists.
