I am tired of psychiatry, tired of hearing about it all of the time. I have an eating disorder, I am obsessive compulsive, I’m somewhat autistic that’s why I can’t control my temper! Give me a break. A study where you generalize any reaction in the human brain is in my opinion (not factual, but a vote of common sense) asinine. I mean common sense tells me you put a person on the planet, each brain engineers itself differently, as each and every person has different experiences, and on top of those different experiences they have different personalities that make them view those different experiences completely different then does other people. So every single brain in the world is completely different, sort of like fingerprints, only even more so, as fingerprints are born different and never change, and a brain you are born with, and through millions of different big and small situations becomes different. Psychology is everywhere, this idea I don’t believe in, and it drives me crazy. Here is a hypothetical situation: Just the other day I turned in a paper, and instead of a constructive response that corresponds to English class someone analyzed me and I quote (hypothetically of course), “The entire paper feels like you have a lot of anger still towards your mother. Maybe work on a balance of blame, Marriage is tough.” Granted marriage is tuff, but why would this hypothetical person psycho analyze me, and on top of that why not at least be in the ballpark, I wasn’t talking about marriage, I was talking about divorce. Marriage is a two part system, divorce more often then not is one person calling it quits, and a bunch more people being devastated by that act. On top of that my father and I don’t even talk, and I have a close relationship with my mother. I said that to say, psychiatry is generalizations, most people react this way to this certain situation, but when one reacts differently we must “tweek” their character so they can be more normal. Sure there are some extremes where psychiatry is relevant, but now at all these lower levels such as: I cant eat a steak, I just cant put it in my mouth, not possible? I mean people need to learn to control their mind, do things because they know is what needs to be done, and if their first reaction says no, well who’s the boss? My summation of psychology: Prescribe pills and lower level disorders so that people will not have to overcome the “disorder” themselves, and in doing so give them an excuse not to build character. Lastly and most importantly, this is the single-minded opinion of a person choosing to live against the grain, not a summation of book and science driven facts, I mean no offense and hope none will be taken.

Good blog, it was interesting. I also have to agree with the pill thing.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I do understand where you are coming from I don’t agree with what you are blogging. Psychiatry and psychology help people with their lives every day. Some people have different way of coping with their problems and sometimes talking to someone is that only way to get their problems on the table to help sort through them. It seemed to me that you went into this blog with a sense of conviction towards something instead of taking the right steps to convince us towards your side. This blog made me feel vulnerable and if I were someone who needed meds to help me though life I would be feeling attacked. - Miranda Scott
ReplyDeleteOne comment called me a girl, just to make aware i am in fact a guy. As i said in my blog some psychology is relevant, its the -perscribing every single person on the planet that goes to a psychologist some sort of disorder- is the problem. Any one person could go to a doctor and get diagnosed with several disorders, i dont think they are disorders they are human beings. I am not attacking anyone or anything at all, just stating a personal belief, i think doctors tell you that you need them to sort it out so that they can get buisness, as if you didnt think you needed them they would be jobless. To state i was born dislexic and i have ADHD, my parents never took them as an excuse, now i am nowhere near dislexic (psychology says thats a disorder, not something you can prevent or grow out of, my father disproved what the doctor told him) and most kids with ADHD dont force themself to not be hyper because they are told its a disorder, and they need meds to fix it, i took meds once for 3 months and my parents took me off, so i have ADHD and have not taken meds for it a since i was 9 years old. And to state my degree of ADHD at the age of 9 i was perscribed 9 ritalin a day. Psychology is valid, but its not psychology, its life, everyone has a wall to climb, if you feel you need someone to help you climb it, well its your money do what you want with it, but if you want to work hard and overcome it yourself, you can, i did, at the age of 9. (Side note also as a child i was constantly impacted by Migraines so bad i would throw up, and was brought home from school nearly every day, one day my dad sat me down and said, "Son, take control of your mind, your getting to stressed, just stop stressing about stuff, because tomarrow will always come and things will always get better." Results? I have not have 1 migrainse since that day, not even one.

If it were not for psychaitrists talking to me and helping me figure out how to level myself, I would not be in college. I would not have the comfortable, loving relationship I have with my daughter. I thank psychology everyday for helpig me find myself.
ReplyDeleteI agree.....everyone has problems or issues. No one is the same and who has the right to say what is a problem or a issue for one and not another. I think this was very insightful.
