Im tired of Dr. Bob's narrow minded, control freakish moderation on this board. You cant have a good discussion on this board. If you try to discuss things on Psychobabble which are controversial, you get blocked. The fact of the matter is that there are a lot of problems in psychiatry and it seems if you try to bring this up you get blocked or castigated.
You cant discuss real problems on Dr. Bob's boards. All you can do is be a good little mental patient and ask weak minded questions about psychiatry drugs.
I realize when i say psychiatry should probably be merged into Neurology this is vocationally threatening to many psychiatrists. So what...do you think I care? The fact of the matter is that we are dealing with real human suffering in mental health and many times psychiatrists do not do that great a job at either properly diagnosing or treating people with mental illness. I feel things could be improved a lot by integrating the diagnosing and treatment of the seriously mentally ill into the fields of Neurology...REAL NEUROSCIENCE. That is my personal opinion.
I dont think psychiatry does a good job half the time at either accuractely diagnosing patients or in treating them and getting them into full remission. Sorry...but thats been my experiences and Im not just talking about myself. These boards are HARD evidence of my claims. Look at all the people on these boards and similar ones who get bet full remission, who get misdiagnosed, etc. Clinical Psychiatry is in the dark ages and is hardly high tech or modernized. It needs to be reformed and modernized.
My posts on the medication board while not specifically discussing a particular medication was very relevant to psychiatric medications. It shouldnt have been transferred over to "psychobabble social." As my message is hardly what Id describe as social. Evangelical maybe, educational perhaps, but not social.
