i was on another website and we were discussing John Nash and psychiatrists (a lot of people think from the movie 'A beautiful Mind' that he got better from using the atypical APs, when in actuality he stopped meds) and this is from his website: John Nash's own words in his 1994 autobiography on the Nobel Prize Website:
"But after my return to the dream-like delusional hypotheses in the later 60's I became a person of delusionally influenced thinking but of relatively moderate behavior and thus tended to avoid hospitalization and the direct attention of psychiatrists"
so that has become somewhat of my mantra- "to avoid the direct attention of psychiatrists" i actually have decent insurance, but i have gone through scores of shrinks until my soon to be ex. i think after years of living with my disorder(s) and taking multiple combos of drugs, i know what works and what doesn't. so part of this is personal- not trusting the psychiatric profession, and part just knowing what is best for me. are you on disability? medicare or medicaid? what kinds of drugs are you taking- will your GP prescribe them?
and please don't apologize for not knowing my past psych experiences, we all go through periods of just trying to get ourselves through the day, never mind checking out what other people are going through. i appreciate all the support you've given to me also- judy
