My neuro books are out of date!

■■■■■■ 1987 edition of psychopharmacology and 2012 edition of neuropsychology. Both obsolete and been feeding me some bullllllshit. Like how I learned from my shrink that later atypicals actually do have tolerance, and the 1987 book says they dont except for side effects!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOO

useless!

Academic and medical books do have a shelf life :wink:

Do you have a copy of the DSM as well :stuck_out_tongue:

my DSM-5 is up to date, which is good because I read the whole thing and took it as legit

LOL DSM legit, they vote on conditions LMAO!

The second their is a test for schizophrenia, I’ll be quietly contented :slight_smile:

Well, yes, a bunch of academic all-stars get together and argue over what is what, but the symptoms they describe are mostly legitimate, just what they call the symptoms is less objective at times. But you’re right, it is just a bunch of doctors arguing and finally agreeing to write something down.

The thing is they can’t decide things like Borderline Personality Disorder is a actual condition, or fast switching bipolar!

But I guess people inflicted with BPD (Borderline Personality disorder) can argue about it on their own forums :wink:

like we have a say :confused: haha

there was a researcher, clinical psychiatrist high up said to my friend he didn’t even begin to understand the brain,

all they do is scratch the surface, i don’t think they know what they are doing half the time lol

maybe he was just being humble though

That’s true. We as a species are clueless about the brain- it is a new frontier

Not at all. You can use the larger ones to club JWs at the front door when they wake you up on a Saturday morning.

there must be other ways, other ways other than drugs i mean, i sometimes think there are undiscovered ways to treat sz, maybe just wishful thinking but i guess they would have tried everything by now,

i sometimes think if i had been brought up better then i wouldn’t have gotten it, if i had a stronger personality, thats why i try and strengthen my personality with other things to try and stop it, i like to hope thats true anyway.

Maybe it will be a multi discipline approach.

For now it’s meds and therapy. But maybe diet and exercise as well?
