I do NOT get a long with psychiatrists

Post Reply New Topic

This is why there are so many bipolar diagnosis flying around. Millions of americans are being diagnosed with bipolar, most dont have it...it is a major push by big pharm and the insurance companies. Psychiatrists are getting a higher payment from insurance companies for bipolar diagnosis. There has been a widening and softening of the bipolar critera so that regular people with regular troubles are being fit into the bipolar "spectrum" . They even devloped a spectrum critera for bipolar. However, bipolar was once believed to be rare but severe and is now being pushed on about anyone who steps in the psychiatrist's office.

I know all too well how you feel. My most recent psychiatrist acts like a nice friendly guy who actually smiles when he sees me, but I still feel I can't really trust him. My past shrinks make drill sarges look like cuddly teddy bears. I'd be waiting for hours to see them, even though my appointments were once a month or even longer, then rush me right through, give me my pill prescriptions and toss me back into the hallway in about five minutes. One shrink's answer to every problem I mentioned was to "check into the hospital" and soon I was afraid to say anything to him. Before my diagnosis with AS I was put on I don't know how many drugs that were supposed to "control my anger" or whatever bull these quacks wanted me to believe. But I suffered all kinds of awful side effects and I couldn't function at all! And they didn't go away or get better even with time, and I sometimes think my body could be permanently damaged from the drugs.
Oh how I hate those quacks for making me go through that hell! How I wish they were completely dead (well I know one them is now) for believing I had only a behavioral problem that was the result of being spoiled by my poor parents. And how hard it is to contain the rage and disgust within me because of the quack who told my mother that I was "mildly ret*d" (I have been told that I'm intelligent) and then thought I shouldn't know I have AS and spend the rest of my life wondering what was wrong with me! Evil, horrible pill-pushing monsters!! !!
