In reply to Psychiatry as a science, posted by Peter S. on November 29, 2002, at 13:33:28
I'm not sure whether you'll receive this reply or not, but anyways. Psychistry is not a science and never has been. It does not follow any methodology to track or uncover anything to do with what it calls "mental illness." Its complete scienific doctrine is that a pyschiatrist will see something that strikes themself as being "odd". They will then put this "observation" to a conference full of other psychiatrists and then vote such an observation in as being 'valid'. It then gets put into a DSM IV manual labelling it as a 'valid' mental illness. Hence, you never trust any illness associated with any psychiatrist.
The only other methodology they use is to have their drug company big brother, inform them of a "new drug" they are manufacturing so a psychiatrist can come up with a mental disorder to fit it or look into the manual of mental disorders and provide the "new miracle drug" that solves this disorder and hence you have another major PR campaign emerge which "solves" peoples mental illnesses. Thus, you see so many anti-depressants on the market, so many people becoming hooked not only on street drugs but on their very own medical prescriptions too.
1. If you have no research to back up your claims of mental disorders [although psychiatrists can exhibit tombs and volumes of papers, none will be able to validate the existence of any mental illness let alone say they have a completely wrapped up investigation on any one of their 300 odd labels], then how is a fictitious drug going to cure a fictitious disorder?
2. Most "mental disorders" can be "cured" by a competent medical doctor who knows his stuff about diets, diseases, allergies, vital organ dysfunctions, etc.
3. Psychiatry and psychiatrists in general committ fraud on a daily basis in stating that they know something about the mind and how this affects an individual. They even disclaim the very definition of the word they use - psycho=mind, soul, spirit
-trist=one who deals in that subject.
They verbalise and state quite emphatically they man does not have a spirit, mind or soul. He is an animal and only has a brain which is purely motivated by stimulas in his environment. Hence, if that be the case, they can drug him without shame, blame or regret!My advise is don't follow anything any psychiatrist or psychologist gives you and take it with a grain of salt over your shoulder, because that's all it'll be worth.
