I'm not sure if psychiatry has helped more than harmed, I think it might be a bit of a balancing act. Part of the problem is that psychiatrists neglect to inform, and a lot of them also present you with something that is not truth but theory, only they forget to tell you that part.

It is up to us to do own own leg work, however it is up to psychiatrist to be truthful, honest, and act with dignity and respect. There just isn't one path to wellness, and they know this, and if they don't they should.

The statistics behind Ad's alone speaks for itself. I have always found it really interesting when I have had a drug pushed on me by a psychiatrist and told how well it works for bipolar, I should be feeling fine in no time. If we still do not even know the exact cause of Bipolar or exactly where the brain is going "wrong" what exactly are we targeting? Yes it seems like a bit of a shot in the dark.
