Well, thank you for the start of this thread. And Venus I agree about the zombie aspect as well.
And I really saw that in the psychward and quite frankly I was so frightened. There was so much stress on forcing medications, I was very concerned and I did see the patients very confused about the different medications they were on, very scarey. As a person who was not the one to experiment with drugs growing up, well it frightened me. And I really felt that the only way I would be realeased is to submit to taking medications that DID MAKE ME FEEL ILL.

I see the point of everyone here. And yes Byz very good information, I do agree that many of the different disorders have to be treated on an individual basis and yes I think the psychiatrists will need to have more education on neurscience.

And patchyderm YES YOU ARE ABSOULTLY RIGHT. I myself was treated very poorly in a psychward and it did further traumatize me. What troubles me even now is that I showed all the clear red flags of someone in extreme PTSD following a very overwheming period of great loss.

And yes Venus you are right about how different people react to different illnesses and situations as well, some adjusting better than others. And I do wonder if this is because of witnessing parents and family adjust to situations while our brains grow. And I can't stress enough how some people form opinions or even feel vulnerable or angry due to perceptions pressed upon them under parents either expecting too much or not giving proper support for normal brain growth in their children.

And I almost wonder if it is our genetic predispostion to adapation to different enviornments and such throughout human existance.

I definitely feel that there is a need to NOT treat all individuals the same way and really taking the time out to study each patient. And their PAST definitely has to be considered as it can truely effect the capabilities of a patient to recover or adjust to said disorder.

I really think that what ever disorder presents itself cannot have just one bandaide or treatment. And I have witnessed that myself.

Thank you for this thread, I really needed to see these aspects being considered. And yes I agree with the other statement that to some degree we, ourselves have to consider the treatment options very carefully and not just blindly follow. Very good point too.

No, I think every post here has valid points.
