Sadly that is true of a great deal of psychiatrists. They cannot be blamed for all of it though as the world we live in is unnatural to our common psyche of which, of course, they are a part. The world has removed itself from nature and industrialised a counterfeit existence that is unnatural to our senses and even relationships are based on materialism where before, they were based upon familial existence with the interactive support of a small community. Mental balances were developed, shared and supported by entrenched community life. Now, life is isolated, feared and self orientated as singular even though it’s not wanted to be that way. It’s no small wonder that the essence of community in a like spiritual sense of living is desired as the primary form of existence. One must first love themselves before they can love another. That is not selfish introspection, but the understanding of self in empathetic understanding of others. Or as the bible suggests, to “know thy self” - ergo - the attributes of the Spirit. Psychiatry explains behaviour but the discipline does not require skills in empathy to explain how to mould behaviour through reasoning. There are more control freaks in mental health services than there are patients.Over my lifetime Barney, I've found that the only person who succeeded in helping me get control of my emotions was Jehovah. 22yrs ago, my GP MADE me see his psychiatrist woman every week, for 8 weeks, or he wouldn't give me my prescription for sleeping tablets. Honestly, I just sat there through each session, nodding and smiling, with the occasional grunt, listening to the utter tripe she was spewing out. I didn't talk about Jehovah or the Bible at all, yet all she advised me to do was to go out and have a "good time" with everyone else out there.. I had the last laugh though because I said I would do what she advised.. and then I DIDN'T. That showed her![]()
There is no requirement to leave. That is defeatist. I thought you wished to learn. You can not run away from criticism unless you first examine it to understand its value. If you leave, you leave because you wish to. That is your decision. If you want answers, then stay and be honest with yourself first, before you judge the response of others. Do you know why you get the responses that you do? That is your first step in understanding.I never pass watching this! I loved it when it came out.
