Anyone ever have such bad psychiatric care they were made worst?
Question:
Answers:
One time I went to my GP about depression, he laughed at me and said it was normal for my age. At the time I was smoking marijuana occasionally and he totally blamed that. 9 years later I still have the same problem and have only just worked what it is. All that time lost because I couldn't work up the courage to be humiliated one more time.
If you have been harmed by psychiatric abuses you can contact the Citizen's Commission on Human Rights. Their website is www.cchr.org.
yes. this woman told me that I was doing too much because I THOUGHT I had to because I was "ill". I had so many responsibilities and she dismissed them all as frivolous. When she had her first child she had to leave and work closer to home because her life became too demanding. (I was working, in school, and caring for a family. My responsibilities were real, I was just overwhelmed at the time.) She couldn't even handle a twenty minute commute to work. I should have told her..."you're ill, that's why you can't handle the commute!" She really had me second guessing my efforts, thinking something was wrong with me. She should come and see the "fruits of my labor" and see how much my hard work paid off...quack. It can be painful.I won't even tell you the BAD part of the story! I eventually had to hand everything over to God. I still have panic attacks sometimes, but I got the right people to help me the right way. you will too!
Yes, Had many sessions of therapy where i was being told over and over that i was keeping stuff from her when i wasn't and she couldn't quite understand my problem or why i had ED. She couldn't help me because i felt i wasn't saying the stuff to fit into her theories which made me feel so fake and belittled. I am now having counselling which i found myself and it's fab!
Yes. I was treated badly by nurses who insisted I was 'just behaviour' and also physically restrained that left me with an injury. I became so convinced there was nothing wrong with me and it led directly to a second admission to sort things out. I complained and fair play was listened to but it needs to be professionals that work outside the ward routine, i.e the senior nurse etc.
I know of much worse than that though, I have seen lives completley destroyed by the wrong treatment and one lass I know is on a permenant suicide mission as her life has been altered forever but wrongly prescribe ECT. She will never have her life back and it was one of the saddest cases I have seen.
1/ Yes thanks-----2/ I went into psychosis -------- 3/ After going nuts.
Yes. Psychiatric practitioners often like to push their own personal values onto their clients and generally lack a sense of social understanding or insight.
Still, I guess there are bad eggs in every profession.
I was going to recommned CCHR also,
their British site is:

you can also contact PALS or RETHINK, they're quite good also:

At the Citizens Commission on Human Rights they deal almost exclusively with this sort of situation.
I went to see a pshch on the recomendation of my local doctor. The psych spoke to me for an hour and then perscribed drugs. I took them for less than a month but then stopped. They made me feel numb.
Did the psych help me no, did he harm me, not greatly because I realised his handling was inappropriate and I ceased use of the drugs.
A drug is a drug. Unless a person needs it for survival it is really not needed.
What did help me Scientology. I was able to work through the problems and upsets in my life. A great book to read is Self Analysis, the third link goes to info. on it.
