Without insulting anyone I get this crap day in and day out. Mental Heath or Psychiatry went bust a long time ago. We are slaves to categorisation because we have fuck all.No lab tests, no Cat scans , just non stop pontification.
Most of the shrink drugs are no better than they were 50 years ago or as useful as taking chalk. Maybe chalk would be better as it certainly does less harm. Drugs main and over riding purpose is to make money for the money grabbing drug companies and or get the nuisance out of the surgery as soon as possible. The greatest advances in shrinkdom are in the social fields of rehab. especially in the community. Even they were undertaken for the wrong reasons and in the wrong ways. Our cures for Schizophrenia are no better than in the 1880's. That was without meds. Meds have graduated from giving the poor sods swiss cheese holes in their brains to advancing heart attacks by decades. Personality disorders are not mental illnesses. Shrinks haven't a clue what to do with them. Behaviour disorders have nothing to do with mental illnesses and shrinks know fuck all what to do with them. Learning problems are an educational problem. Ritalin is a an addictive drug that is being given to at least *5 times too many kids. The results are doubling their chances of an early onset psychoses. And shit poor teachers. If anyone gave it to any of my brood I'd rip their bollocks off. Now before you all get smart arsed and think of arguing please remember: 1. I've been in this game 42 years. 2. I have a good job because my cynicism is appreciated and now supported by my bosses. I have been proven right in fights against Paroxetine, Olanzapine, Ritalin & the abuse of SSRI's in general medicine. 3. This is a fucking list about Leeds United.
