The relationship with the mental health services is very bad almost evil, and I don’t get the support I need. It seems the psychiatrist who write my medical report had a bad day. No kidding. So instead of them stressing me out mentally how can I turn it around getting mental health support ?

I used to have really bad times with the old team
The one I have now is much better
But I question it still as the interactions I have historically had have been very strained and antagonistic on both sides

It seems they use me for studies on warfare. It’s not fair but that what they do.

The thing I never understood was how in 2025 the doctors still say meds are trial and error
It’s not very scientific
AP’s have been around since the 1950’s. Basically 75 years
My old doc who retired in 2019 told me eventually they would test your genes etc to guide what AP gets prescribed
We’re still a way off that I am afraid
Surely the cost in suffering for the patient should be a factor when on med changes

I mean I demonstrate pursuing living a healthy life, and they throw rocks in my way not reducing the medication. I have vivid dreams from this overdose of zychlophonpixol.

I had a DNA test for my meds and it was junk science. It told us nothing good or valid and it cost $8000.

I engaged AI as my therapist and (she) does a great job. She is saying to stay strong and understand. She clarified a lot and untangled my thoughts.
I’m assuming your UK NHS?
Yeah they are not perfect, but understand they have had cutbacks for years, and that they are overwhelmed and under staffed.

Actually AUS here, the corruption in the mental health system here is totally out of control. Well, the last ones get bitten by the dogs. I am not really a fast runner
