Why do psychiatrists recommend so many medications? Why don't they do psychotherapy as much? Why can't they tell me what my diagnosis is? Why does my diagnosis always change? Why am I on an antipsychotic medication when I'm not crazy? Why am I on lithium when I'm not bipolar? Why does my doctor want to give me a medication for bipolar when I'm not? Why to people attempt suicide? Am I the worst patient? Am I making my shrink crazy or was he that before? What is a panic attack and panic disorder? What would Freud do? Can analysis be worthwhile? Is the theater really dead?
All of these questions and more (except the last one-the theater lives) are answered in Psychiatry in Techno Colors .
When the logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead...remember what Dr. L said, Don't dread, feed your head.
I hope this blog will help people learn more about psychiatry and mental health including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), treatment issues, medications, psychotherapy,therapy,self-help, hope, inspiration, politics, mental health policy and discrimination issues and whatever I feel like or others care to post. Please be polite and hopefully positive. Check out my book below.
