We have no place for that attitude here, @Chess24.

Do you care to elaborate?

It might not be agreeable to have to trust in something that you know is light on evidence, but the sledgehammer AP’s seem to help

I think you have the right to your views.

I have also been underwhelmed by a couple. I think the prognosis for psychotherapy is not good for a person with my personality profile.

I won’t listen to it.

If you’re mind is breaking down, you need help…the only real help that exists is psychiatry.

I really had a caring psychiatrist. He gave me really good advice and was kind and understanding. Unfortunately he passed away. We as patients sometimes don’t find such wonderful people.

I had a hostile attitude to psychiatry for a while. When you are on drugs that are making you suicidal, that’s understandable I feel. But recently with my change to abilify, I can see them just as normal blind people. Blind, in the sense that they have no idea what psychosis is really like.
