Oh Boy. Shouldn’t have asked this. Get ready for me to get MATI.

I am a very very very passionate and deep believer that psychiatry, therapy, psychology, etc. are incredibly important to society, and those who say otherwise are genuine red flags. If they’re mentally ill themselves and spout anti-psychiatry bs then just put them in a fucking ward unwillingly.

The reason why this subject tends to rile me up is because often times the anti-psychiatric’s reasonings are so unbelievably retarded. Their views boil down to “Therapy makes you soft and I don’t want to be soft so I hate therapy”. I respect a “soft” man more than I respect the guy beating his wife and kids cause he refuses to acknowledge he’s schizo.

Spoiler: Powerlevel

This is a personal topic for me. My mom’s a diagnosed bipolar, beat me as a kid and would never get help for it. Then when I got mental problems, she did everything in her power to make sure I never got therapy because “therapy’s a scam”. I wasted my childhood and teen years wallowing in depression and unexplained psychosis. It wasn’t till I was 18 I went to a ward and my life changed. I’ve been taking meds and going to therapy and it’s shocking that it’s possible to not hate life, it’s insane that I can have these moments of clarity finally, and I will forever have resentment towards my mom for refusing me this.

I’m glad you found a good hospital. The one I went to was shit but the patients were sweethearts so it helped.

We should reopen the asylums and lock them all up.

There was a lot of sexual and physical abuse in those kinds of places and they still exist in the form of residential's.

Asylums don’t help the insane, they just make it not society’s problem anymore. Though I wouldn’t be opposed to opening asylums for those who refuse psychiatry, a place where you can continue jerking your anti-SSRI views off, but you’re not a danger to the public.

anti-psychiatric’

I kind of align this way but more so due the fact a lot of suicide prevention is kind of preachy and very fake especially when it's coming from really shitty hospitals. I'm sorry these things happened and I can relate but more on the verbal side not physical. I wish you healing man. Recently found a good combination of what i need as well while there.

That’s not anti-psychiatry. That’s just criticism, which is good. Anti-psychiatry would be if you said suicide prevention flat out shouldn’t be a thing. I agree suicide prevention nowadays is fucking awful. I was lucky to meet people who genuinely wanted me to stay alive.

Because they hire Migrrrs, you only need a high school diploma to be an orderly, and they don't pay much.

I will never understand why we pay so little to the people that are taking care of our elderly, cooking our meals, and doing other jobs for us that expose our vulnerabilities.

I think there's a lot of over-diagnosis when it comes to "fad disorders", but I definitely think that everyone should talk to a therapist.

When I was a little kid it was the late '80s early '90s and everyone was diagnosed with ADHD, because we didn't have the internet so we just harassed the hell out of people. After that bipolar was the diagnosis du jour. Then all of a sudden the entire world became autistic. Then all of a sudden everyone had a gender identity crisis. The more generations that have grown up with a crippling internet addiction, the weirder the diagnoses are becoming.

I'm very leery of psychiatry because on one hand there are these disorders that they just love to label everyone as for a few years, but on the other hand I think it is an industry that's sorely needed because people would blow their brains out if they didn't talk to someone or get medicine when they did need it.

But that being said I think there is a lot of over-diagnosing with whatever is the trend, and there is a lot of over-prescribing. They tried to give me like four different pills before I finally met a shrink that went "yeah there's nothing wrong with you you just have PTSD. Take this one prescription for panic attacks and come and talk to me twice a month"

If everything was on the up and up, and these doctors weren't out there looking to put whatever the quick popular diagnosis of the day is on people and over prescribe meds because they're getting kickbacks from big pharma, things would be much better.

So TL;DR: flawed, but needed. Proceed with caution, but proceed.

Nīggers.

Stop trying to make censoring the word nìgger a thing, Ken. It's not going to happen.

Censorship is something nobody asked for and it's something I'm still trying to work towards the realization of that it's not necessary for a website like this since people would find ways to go around it anyways so it doesn't make any sense and makes the conversations more tedious.

As for an answer to the originally question -

I nearly admitted myself into a psychiatric industry several times, never went through with it though as I heard from many friends who warned me before I made attempts to get admitted that they weren't ideal and often treated their patients without much care, though maybe this was a locational situation and maybe not all hospitals and places of the like are the same. I've never been anti mental health and tell other people that whatever helps them is what they should choose to do, since for instance I'm looking into getting a psychiatrist to get medicated since I believe Lexapro would help or Wellbutrin which I tried off a friend years ago and while I probably shouldn't have it did show results in helping with my mental health, these are things that I've done enough research on though maybe they're things that are more intended for me and not others - circling back to how in general it really depends on the person and their experiences, but if they think seeking out a psychiatric industry is what's suitable for them, then it's a good thing.

What do you mean by "lock them all up" btw, I'm wondering what this entails because that would be a weird and edgy statement to make towards people who are just seeking to feel better in life who were dealt not so ideal cards

How long did you take it for? Because if you took it for anything less than 6 weeks the results were probably placebo. It takes that long for the medication to build up in your blood/brain to notice any real change.

It does depend on the place AND the person going. I’ve been to the psych and came out a better person, even though my psych was shit. That’s cause I’m used to being treated like shit so it was easy to focus on the good of the place.

probably not, I have seen people unironically have that stance

Yeah, as long as I can possibly get medicated I'd be happy and don't think I'm in a situation where I'd need to institute myself - but I've been in positions where I can understand where people would want that for themselves and how it would help. Still though, I hope you're okay on that last part.
