can anyone instead of sending me a link to some rando's beliefs about the mental health society and just assure me that there IS a better way of treating schizo's rather than by locking them up...keeping them from doing anything they really like to be doing, and forcing antipsychotics into their system like were little seeds that are refusing to grow so we need fertilizer?? ya thats how i see it. i for one cant help but to trip out every moment of the day worrying that i shouldnt be taking these pills and shots. WHAT ABOUT my HONOOOOOOOOOOOOR! lol. trust me it says it all. And if u think it doesnt, let me assure you...life is more than keeping ur sanity...its knowing what to do when u lose it. (and i know this and its worth everything to me, which is why i believe i have honor) btw my doctor diagnosed me AND ordered 5 mg's of risperdol to be taken (just so i could get used to it..wtf kind of theory is that?) before he ever met me...based solely upon what my crazed mother with apparent anger issues told the people in the in-patient unit. not to mention that i was hella skinny at the time so 5mgs was puting me through hell. I dont know if it was just that tramatic month in the psych ER trying to cope with this shit they were forcing me to drink, that causes me to respond differently to antipsychotics. or if maybe...they really shouldnt be used period. sigh..and if it helps the reason why i felt i needed to act the way i did before my mom called the cops on me is because i was refusing to let my honor be pushed to its limits before something unnatural happened that would have left me mentally crippled...and you know what...that just might be what finding inner peace is to someone like me.
Medical doctors are not qualified to diagnose mental conditions. Only clinical psychologists can do that.
