I was emotionally butchered by psychiatry because of misdiagnosis. The professionals wouldn't listen and tended to blame me for my apparent lack of progress. The treatment was making me worse. They tried very hard to fit me in the diagnosis even though most of them thought it was wrong. I was told I was sexually abused (repressed memories) and had all kinds of issues that I didn't have in reality. None of them bothered to verify any of it and talk to my family. It was easier to misdiagnose and tell me, "Didgee you are wasting my time", over and over again.
A lot of those people don't have the ability to come up with their own opinions and diagnoses. Most of them fail to listen and observe accurately. They see what they want to see, because it is easier. They can manufacture psychiatric illness with their therapy, hospital stays, and lots of drugs that cause symptoms.
I am still not over this. It is going to take awhile.
