Psychiatry continues to cling to long disproved theories ,it's a wonder how they ever learned to stop drilling holes in your head to let the demons out .

They are dictated on using drugs to control people and make billions for big pharma ,but rarely do you hear them trying novel therapies ,unfortunately the status quo I'd drugs drugs drugs ,it's less work to push pills then to get to know the patient and what's bothering them ,15 minute med checks versus actually taking an hour to talk and learn, unfortunately few psychiatrist have actual training or skills in doing therapy these days . Talk therapy takes alot more skill and time then pushing pills , sure drugs are faster and cheaper for the "system" but not for the patient .


Yes !!! Virtually nothing offers me any semblance of even slightly routine sleep.. in fact I as of this month have been Med free for a year . Was it easy ? No .. I have had huge situational things but according to trusted family and friends I知 reacting like anyone would.. so while sometimes I知 white knuckling it sans Meds. I知 still doing okay.

I知 sure I値l need something again one day.. but not today lol
