confessions of little turtle with love

fuzzy---at MAD IN AMERICA you will find people from the UK that have been
abused and traumatized ....they are very hurt and very angry...you will find true friends...I am there as littleturtle....I wish desiree would go there also...I think that site can be very helpful for anyone with a mental illness...that is why I am there...
I do not like what is going on in psychiatry...we are not being treated as human beings...we are just a number with a diagnosis and a drug..

2) Not ordering tests - they've a lot of experience and I believe they can diagnose us just by talking to us and observing us, no need to go for fancy blood tests. An essential part of therapy/diagnosing is to not let the patient know....

Over here they don’t listen.. they don’t like it if we can’t tolerate the meds or change “significantly” after 6 sessions of CBT.

They don’t like it if we link our emotional pain to abuse... they twist our words and write down lies about us.

They would like us to say “I’ve been feeling a bit down doctor”

Then they could say “here’s something that will help”

“Come back in 3 months”

“Thank you doctor”

(If I could tolerate the meds I would take them)

You could not have hit the nail in the head so precisely with this post if you had hit the central atom's nucleus.

We have a lot to contend with, then we visit the doctor to drive us properly mad in the UK.

We shouldn't teach doctors what to do.
You must really love your pdoc. I think he must be a very empathetic and nice doctor.

That's not true with lithium. maybe you don't know about lithium toxicity, that's why you think that these are fancy tests.

3) Outdated meds, "it's your fault," - I am not familiar with the UK system, but I am pretty sure it's not the doctors to blame, it's the government/administration. As far as for outdated meds, the internet can be pretty deceiving...

Desiree2006, here you can see Splendor+ is apparently discontinued as claimed by the website.Look how many people have reviewed the bike. This is not true,at least in our city Splendor+ still sells. Reading over the internet can be tempting, but it may not always give correct information... the iv may have something else in it, I believe pharmaceutical companies "mask" the ingredients with the names of others, to help to make it a good treatment plan... personal experience.

Why can’t I just flip a switch and say “oh today I’m fine”

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

And haha at all those abusers, why didn’t I realise before that all those adults who are in responsible jobs who behave like playground bullies can just be flicked off like a bothersome fly.. that the doctors with their wrong diagnoses and scary “prognoses” matter not at all

I agree... we do not know enough about mental health. But I just wanted to point out (I know I am maddening a lot of people) we shouldn't call them names cause we aren't perfect either, nobody is completely honest.

A medical profession is completely different from other professions. I believe to be a good doctor you have to be a good human being and do no harm. I don't think dishonesty is a virtue that good doctors ought to possess.

Yeah these irresponsible medical professionals don't matter at all.

fuzzy there are people on MAD IN AMERICA like you and me..
you can speak out and talk about what is really wrong with psychiatry..
there is a lot of anger....people have been abused and treated very badly by the psychiatry system...they are pushing for CHANGE..
