I think I understand it, at least from the money angle, although I'm sure there are actually people in the profession who do want to really help people but the conjecture you speak of has gotten a bit out of hand and dangerous. At least there is alot of information with the internet these days to help guide people, glad you enjoyed the article!

Re: Article on psychiatric drugs effects on brain

Hey, Jennita! I hope to be one of those people in the psychiatric industry who genuinely wants to help cure mental illness and carefully diagnose the patient before handing out a prescription for medication that they might not need. I want to be a neuropsychiatrist (I'm just beginning my freshman year of college and majoring in neuroscience), and I hope that one day, I can create better medications, or better yet, an actual brain diagnostic test to prove that a person actually has the disorder- I think that will completely eliminate the non-believers who think that psychiatric illnesses aren't of a biological nature (Tom Cruise!)... That's what I like about you: you don't deny that mental illness has a biological background- you just want to inform people that there are natural alternatives out there to treat the disorders, but you don't go around saying that mental illness and psychiatry aren't real... Oh, and Soarer, just because the psychiatric field has become lax in questioning whether or not a person really has a disorder, and instead, giving them a medication for every minor symptom, mental illnesses are reality. As someone who has struggled for 18 years with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and panic attacks, I can say first-hand that each tormenting day that I live through isn't purely conjecture...

Well, there are some aspects as you know that I feel are not real in psychiatry like certain things like shyness is a biological disorder/medical condtion and automatically needs powerful medication! It would be nice if they'd just target the serious stuff like bi-polar and schizophrenia more in regards to finding treatments and actual cures, so it's good to hear there will be someone like you out there one day to perhaps do that!

Good luck to you!!!!
