I'm no fan of polarisation between patients and doctors. They are bound by fate to get along. I'm sure a lot of people genuinly want to help people with their issues. It's just that when polarisation occurs, which seems to be encouraged, people have a perception of the 'other' based on what they are rather than what they actually believe, think, say or do. I'm not blind to the painfull, damaging medication they use. I had a sadist doctor who had worked for forensic psychiatry for most of his career and moved onto general psychiaty. Whenever someone was critical of his work he treated it asif the person was dangerous. Subsequently I was his patient in general psychiatry. He gave me medication of which the effect was that I couldn't swallow even my own spit for 1,5 years. Then he gave me something where I had akynestesia for 1 year. Then he gave me sleep deprevation for 2 years. When I got angry and started complaining he locked me up for 6 month under blasphemy laws. I went on a campaign to expose the institution for torture and was succesfull. I recorded conversations and filmed in the institutions and took it all to the police. They couldn't open a case and I took the recordings to a lawyer for a civil dispute. It took 3 years and eventually the institution was sanctioned and I got a 300.000 euro compensation. The institution had the health inspection round and was sanctioned so hard that they downsized be 40%. Not only my case but more cases brought them down. Now I'm with the same institution and have a much better doctor. Even after having being tortured for 6 years I have regained trust in psychiatry. When you expect the best in people you bring out the best in people is something I have come to believe. I'm not basing my view of all mental health workers on what the sadistic one did.

Thankfully now we have better more robust medications than in the past avoiding Occular Gyrocrisis, Tardive Dyskanesia etc and we have a better understanding of trauma, links with neuro-divergence and how empathy can really aid recovery. Early intervention psychosis is a great discipline and more work and funding will help progress, this, somatic illnesses, and the same goes with synthesising a better match for Clozapine. Working in psychiatry is being able to connect with that person or/and trying to at least, active listening. From a career progression, it's possible to practice CBT privately for example when you retire so arguably has a long life span.

Psychiatry needs to be put down with its medievil methods. ECT, psychosurgery, heavy meds etc. backed up by business making ALOT of money on people who have nowhere else to turn to in crisis. I hope some decades from now we look in history books and shiver over the whole field.

It seems that this video has made an opposite effect on people about psychiatrists. Look at all these comments below this video. How on earth can this profession still survive if everyone hates it that much? How can psychiatrists really help their patients if they're hated that much in public? That should be the topic which psychiatrists should be discussing about if you ask me. I don't see a bright future for this profession to be honest with you. Actually if the trend goes on like that I'm not surprised if psychiatry is abolished as a medical specialty within a couple of years time. If I was a psychiatrist that would really be a matter of concern for me.

Is one of the core rotations for all medical students, it will not be abolished because people with mental disorders have always existed and will continue to exist. Psychiatrists are the only physicians with special training to help these patients and do so by applying evidence based treatments. The hate the field receives comes from ignorance and misconceptions on how it works. Most of the people who hate them have religious beliefs (Scientology, evangelists) that clashes with the modern conceptions of brain/mind; or claim to have been "abused" (which could happen but is extremely rare and is most probably people with cognitive distortions trying to make sense of doctors saving their lives by treating them against their will when they were trying to commit suicide or harm others); or have mental disorders that contribute to their clouded thinking in general. Is funny that inside the medical profession most doctors consider Psychiatrists to be the most empathetic bunch while surgeons are the egomaniac assholes yet these people with obviously zero exposure to the medical field think Psychiatrists are literally Hannibal Lecter, ridiculous.

@@TheXtremeDrums My friend nobody wants to die young with enormous emotional and physical pains for nondeadly problems. That's what these drugs used in the treatment of psychiatry do. Nobody dies because of a bipolar episode. In nobody's death certificate you can see a notice like "died of bipolar" for example. The same thing is true for schizophrenia and psychosis and panic attacks and depression as well. It's easy to call everyone who opposes the obvious abuses in psychiatry mad or hateful or religious or whatever That doesn't change the fact that the treatments offered to those people are nothing but abuse of medical knowledge and practices that’re developed only for emergencies. These people are mostly subjected to coercion and even traumatized in mental health facilities The problem is partly mental health facilities and psychiatrists as there doesn’t exist any system to establish transparency and accountability in their practices. Yet the larger part of the problem stems from the current mental health system which sees mental patients as pathogens which should be isolated from the public and dysfunctioned without caring their mental and physical health rather than the people who need medical attention, compassion and care. I too believe that mental health problems are real. What I have doubts about is rather whether or not they’re caused by organic malfunctions or genetic problems as there’s no medical proof regarding this. We know that when people live under duress and distress that causes biological and chemical changes in their entire bodies and inevitably that includes the brain as well. The biological and chemical reactions to this in the brain varies all according the type, severity and duration of the duress and distress people are exposed to as well as their past experiences. Yet, to claim that these mental health problems are caused by organic malfunctions, genes or some mysterious interactions betwen the genes and thus they’re chronic problems requires proof and that’s exactly what medicine currently doesn’t have. Needless to say that to interfere such problems with the substances which they themselves too cause those very symptoms which doctors try to treat defies logic, and it’s evident that this illogical approach will definitely turn those most probably temporary mental health problems into chronic ones let alone making them go away. The first rule of medicine is “First do no harm”. That really means that if body can heal itself in a natural process then you shouldn’t interfere this healing process with harmlful interventions. What you should do is rather to help and facilitate this natural healing process. But don’t understand me wrong. I don’t mean that psychiatrists are frauds or mean people. Among them there are very good people who really want to make a difference in their patients’ lives. Psychiatrists in general think that these are the only available tools they currently have and if they don’t use these tools those people struggling with mental health problems will get even worse. They hope that as the medical knowledge develops they will have better tools and one day they’ll be able to find treatments that help patients without harming their physical health. They also have the opinion that they help drug industry to find solutions to illnesses and medical conditions by prescribing these drugs and hence contribute to the medical researches. I neither dislike psychiatrists nor find that profession evil. On the contrary I believe that there's goodness in everyone. I try to address the conscience of people all the time and try to awaken the goodness in them and sometimes I do this by means of provoking them. I always advocate the matters for the benefit of all mankind even if those matters hit the financial interests of people. My aim is always to address the conscience of people all the way. The current mental health system lacks of transparency and accountability. That’s what I’m primarily against and I have the opinion that the system needs an extensive reformation by giving sufficient safeguards to people that limit the power of psychiatrists, mental health workers and mental health facitilities.

@@TheXtremeDrums Well surgeons like for example urologists don't have a very high opinions about psychiatrists either and I can tell you that they don't find psychiatrists very sympathetic at least. Anyway you said your own opinion and let me tell my own opinion about psychatry. According to my observations what practitioners of psyhchiatry currently do is to try to find solutions to the problems they themselves have created in the first place rather than original mental health problems they’re supposed to treat: For example we still don’t know whether people really suffer from bipolar or schizpohrenia episodes, panic attacks, psychosis etc or rather they suffer from the extrapyramidal symptoms or/and withdrawals symptoms of the drugs that are claimed to help to manage the “psychiatric symptoms”. Do you know for example that those drugs that are used to manage the so called symptoms of psychosis including hallucinations and delusions (which are called the positive symptoms of psychosis) such as olanzapine (Zyprexa), quetiapine (Seroquel), and haloperidol (Haldol) themselves too can cause hallucinations? Take a look at the link below by yourself if you don’ believe me. www.pharmacytimes.com/contributor/timothy-o-shea/2016/02/10-scariest-prescription-drug-side-effects Those same drugs are given suicidal patients in hospitals as well. I just can’t understand how on earth those very same drugs (antipsychotics) that blunt emotions which suicide bombers take in order to overcome the fear of death before blowing themselves up can prevent suicide in suicidal patients. People need to overcome the fear of death to commit suicide. Yet, what those drugs really achieve is nothing but enabling exactly this. You see this is a vicious circle. Moreover what psychiatrists do in the absence of any relevant evidence based medical knowledge regarding the mental health problems is basically to create a chemical dependency in their patients first and then increase their revenues by managing this chemical dependency they themselves have created in the first place. Afterwards they show the withdrawal symptoms of these drugs which will definitely appear if the patiens abruptly quit them as the evidence of the efficacy of these drugs. One might think that this is nothing but aggravated fraud because it creates long term financial benefits for psychiatrists at the expense of harming their patients’ physical and mental health. What about ECT? If you take a look at the symptoms of traumatic brain injury and compare them with the very well-known “therapeutic” effects of ECT you will see that some of these symptoms of traumatic brain injury are listed as the beneficial effects of ECT and the rest of the symptoms are listed as the potential “side-effects” of ECT by the psychiatrists who advocate that ECT is harmless and very effective medical treatment. Is it ethical to deny their patients’ rights to receive treatment for the only underlying medical condition they have after receiving ECT which is obviously nothing but traumatic brain injury? Now let's see how helpful psychiatry is for the ones suffering from bipolar disorder for example Let's take a look at this combination of drugs people labeled bipolar take each day in order to prevent relapses one by one: 1. Lithium, is a very well-known poison which will give you nothing but thyroid problems heart problems and kidney failure sooner or later at the time when your immune system weakens when you get older, and beware that thyroid problems would be deadly in conjunction with a heart problem. 2. Valproic acid which is an antiepileptic drug in fact. The ones who have epilepsy can use this drug relatively safely as they get with much lower doses than bipolars. But don't forget that you get this drug in astronomically higher doses than than epilepsy patients. There's no need to be a psychiatrist or pharmacologist or a physician to guess that sooner or later that would lead to liver or kidney failure in the long run. Besides it will definitely cause to lose all of your teeth. 3 One of the central nervous system drugs which would definitely lead to health issues such as heart problems and diabetes. 4. Antipsychotics which would definitely lead to irreversable dysfiguring neurological problems like parkinson like disases in the long run ( if you don't already suffer) as well as metabolic disorders, type 2 diabetes and obessity which is accepted as number one cause of cancer, and also dementia and Alzheimer's Disease. It's scientific fact that people episode even if they strictly take this drug regiment as much as the ones who don't take any drugs at all. Moreover they can't quit these drugs because of the debilitating withdrawal symptoms of them. Winston Churchill too suffered from bipolar and had many episodes in the era when there were no drugs to treat this problem. But in the end he outgrew it and later became prime minister of Britain and he was commander in chief of the Britisih troops during WW2. So this is an achievable task. Now my question here is what will those people when their urologist endocrinologist, cardiologist and neurologist altogether say that they must quit these drugs otherwise it will have grave and even deadly consequences for them? What are they planing to do then? Will the inevitably commit suicide or try to find the ways to survive without drugs? Why don't they start doing this before irreversably wrecking their health.
