At the end of the day meds do save lives in the short term. While I disagree with the approach and believe the whole industry is misguided and misinformed in their approach to dealing with mental health. there are no quick fixes and cures and I have come to the conclusion the industry themselves cause the stigma as much as the public by mistreating you their clients and patients. by being lazy and taking the easy way out, which is prescribe anti depressants, anti everything because they just assume its one trigger as a cause, too much effort and a waste of their time, see a therapist. You spend hours, years of your time supposedly trying to reconcile your issues...only to rarely reconcile your issues and find out its all been a waste of your time. People like fast results like fast food, except with fast results your stitching up the wound and hardly the infection...
Its almost like the medical profession is inflexible, prove it through blood, if your blood fails so do you. Never mind the physical symptoms, especially when certain substances mask results and create an illusion of good times but bad times in your body still. Its just a mental illness take a pill, next please!
People don't like being challenged or questioned, neither are they interested in hearing other peoples views when they are convinced their ideas are true and accurate. Suppose its like that with core beliefs, I might be dismayed with the system since its failed me, but then it has a lot of people. Who then think what they are going through is normal, convinced it is and unlikely to question it much since meds keep them afloat and Dr and Psychologists are the final word...
Suppose after a decade or more you get tired of it and thats when you start wanting proper answers. When for a time you feel better and when you stop with the meds, for years, your convinced that they worked. Somehow unaware that this was created like a short term pump that would burst again. and then you assume the relapse is normal too, maybe the next one after that too.
When your still a child they say take an adult with you to cross the road because the field of vision isn't as developed. I sometimes wonder at people, maybe sometimes the field of vision stays poor for reasons like money, at least the drug companies and the proliferation of industries surrounding the mental health industry are happy but your not or are you?
Maybe its unusual that iodine was removed from bread and bromide was introduced. Maybe it isn't that unusual that last year iodized salt had been reintroduced in Australian bread, don't know about other countries legislation but still makes me wonder why.
) it's not who the person IS and it's not like they want it... to judge them by it is pretty cruel
