Psychiatric Crack

A psychologist is a person who decided to spend a lot of money, To recieve a piece of paper that says they know everything about me. Sure I'll talk, but they won't listen for anything but a hint, Of reason to recommend a psychiatrist to deal me another script. Psychiatrists are glorified drug dealers hired by Pfizer and their friends, Who experiment with legal crack and meth to try and make the suffering end. I studied the mind as well in school, recieving awards and honors, And learned that western medicine is but a corrupt business at its core. Psychiatric doctors convincing customers that their minds aren't right, Ignoring the syndrome of society and its environmental plight. Pills are but a capitalistic product of this terrible medical field, When plants can cure what ails us with each season's yield. I studied government as well in school, recieving awards and honors, Learning that one reason pot's still illegal is because idiots deny it as a cure. Sitting in school eight hours a day for eighteen years, Is what an IBM machine is for, which won't be robbed of human cheer. Four years of pretending degrees will reward us for our studies, Left us indebted to unpayable loans and jobs whose minimum pay is cruddy. So if you want to think my problems stem from a disease inside my brain, Keep ignoring the economic ties and lies that are making me insane.

Interesting thoughts penned. Sad that we have people who are not getting what they need in this life to make it a decent one. There are real brain diseases though and they need to be treated. I have a grandson who has Huntington's Disease a rare genetic disorder of a protein that the brain needs to function. It is one horrible disease that leads to severe illness both physical and mental and death usually from aspiration pneumonia. Sara

I really enjoyed this!! I have lived every possible combination shown above. I do worry about the meds too. Mine don't create that feeling of la la land as many think. I still must take them; it is the reality I face. Living before being diagnosed was hell. Everyone has their feelings about this subject. I was very fortunate to find a therapist that really cared and helped. That being said: A little pot... helps a lot. Thank you for giving me a forum to speak about mental illness. Pat :)

This hits home for me Brendan...I was forced to see a shrink as a teen. I was never prescribed any drugs though...I just refused to talk to them. I am a holistic person now and totally agree that today's prescription drugs are just poison. Mother Nature knows best :) Have a great day :)

Brendan, there is certainly a lot of BS at work, and many imaginings that are often incorrect. I can't quite bring myself to generalize as far as criticizing doctors' diagnoses, but many sure do prescribe drugs as if they were born to the purpose.
