better according to who? you are assuming everyone has the same experience with these things as you do. and psychiatrists 'barely get to know their patients' according to who? lol what are you talking about TC? if you have taken issue with what i said regarding you and crow feel free to tell me about it rather than taking pointless jabs. and what makes you think i don't care about sin?
"better according to who? you are assuming everyone has the same experience with these things as you do."
Articles and documentaries have helped me see it's not just those around me, but naturally it was experience that had me try to see if it was a false correlation reinforced through coincidentally repeated incidence. The problem lies in the field itself more than anything, and even courses I've taken reinforced the view of this problem either through the instructor's enabling of it or through watching their warnings fall on many deaf ears. This isn't some view that's carried solely on my own, it's a large problem that's been discussed to death. As is, the success stories are the rarer ones unless they claim to have become better while still in the honeymoon glow of it when it appears to be working still.
That could be argued to be confirmation bias, me cherry-picking what fits the views that my peer's experiences has taught me, but it also shows that the numbers are higher than a handful. The "crazy" are more drawn to me than the "sane", so I've seen many people's lives find problems from their parents mistakenly throwing them towards pills. If it's done too early it can even stunt development and leave them damaged in ways that go beyond just a tolerance buildup.
The warnings are even on the pills themselves, and misdiagnosis occurs more than often enough. There's multiple reasons a person can display depression for instance, and in cases where it's assumed to be one version instead of another it can make them regress horribly (like a bipolar victim on anti-depressants for instance). On top of that, many will pile as many patients as they can into their workday, making each case carry less and less weight on their mind. It's not too different from the mother's haunting experience in the movie "Requiem for a Dream".
"psychiatrists 'barely get to know their patients' according to who?"
Beyond just seeing it and hearing of it from peers (a formerly surprising and now jading number of), like above I naturally looked into articles for it. The two focus on entirely different aims and possess similar yet different educations that follow this. From the current absence of those older articles where I even saw some of the practitioners themselves complaining about it (even to the point of having trouble remembering their own patients names), I'll substitute it with this basic comparison through example:
How long are the appointments?
The first session with the psychiatrist is between 30 and 50 minutes. Follow-up sessions are 15 to 30 minutes (unlike therapy that is usually 45 minutes to an hour in length).
What is the difference between meeting with the psychiatrist and meeting with a therapist?
The psychiatrist focuses more intensely on medical history, medications, side effects, and whether the medicine is working. The psychiatrist typically does not explore the client's concerns in the same depth as a therapist. Similarly, the therapist might ask about whether the medicine is helping or if there are concerning side-effects, but he/she will not explore these concerns with the same depth as the psychiatrist.
Yes I know it's a university link, but it correlates well with what's readable elsewhere. If you want more links or videos, it doesn't take much work to find them (with many responding more directly to the problem, like this one for instance). The problem isn't something I just invented, experience and outside sources are surprisingly loud about the issues, and yet the whole "Big Pharma" business continues to boom like there's nothing wrong with what it's making so many people become. So many assume that because "they're a doctor" that they won't screw up with irreversible damage risks that, when taken into account, tend to lead to new pills that compound upon the problem. There's so much malpractice that goes unaccounted for where they don't lose their ability to practice what they think to call "medicine".
"if you have taken issue with what i said regarding you and crow feel free to tell me about it rather than taking pointless jabs."
I don't. The only "influence" there's been is my being online slightly less. Knowing me, if there was more influence than that I'd likely be boasting about it.
As is, this is about Sin, a potential victim, and to muddle it with things beyond that would only serve to dilute the message.
"and what makes you think i don't care about sin?"
Some loose guesswork formed through observing your general behavior. This one I can go with admitting has no factual basis, but it still served to see how you'd respond. Of course you wouldn't say "Yeah man, fuck her, let her die" as that'd undo anything that you have tried to do regardless of the goal, but how you'd respond would still yield something. I assume your bit about Crow and I was within the same range of tactics, as your guess about my character is a bit off.
a question.. (don't mean this to be offensive in any way)
As is, this is about Sin, a potential victim,
you seem somewhat concerned about my non-living state.. it contradicts with what you said in this thread, where you said you do everything for your own personal gain.
Evil: I am self serving to the end and don't mind admitting to it.
so why, then, the interest?? what is the gain for you?
I find you fun. You being gone would make this place that much more boring.
It also ties into my anti-meds agenda, an agenda that likely roots from projecting how it'd likely be for me and for how it has robbed me of people I bothered investing in in the past's functionality. A broken person carries less capability to sustain my interest.
It's admittedly selfish on my part, and there's no offense in this question. Even if it had turned out offensive, you shouldn't worry about that sort of thing when it comes to me.
