If There Is No Medical Disease Present, and None That Can Be Proven?
Question by some time: If there is no medical disease present, and none that can be proven?
do you think that one should keep saying that there is? Can you answer these:
1. Evidence That Establishes the validity of “schizophrenia” “depression” or other “major mental Illnesses” as biologically-based brain diseases.
2. Evidence For A Physical Diagnostic Exam such as a scan or test of the brain, blood, urine, genes, etc that can distinguish individuals with these diagnoses (prior to treatment with psychiatric drugs), from individuals without these diagnoses.
3. Evidence For a Base-line Standard of a neurochemically balanced “normal” personality, against which an “imbalance” can be measured and corrected by pharmaceutical means.
4. Evidence That Any Psychotropic Drug can correct a “chemical imbalance” attributed to a psychiatric diagnoses, and is any thing more than a non-specific alterer of physiology.
5. Evidence That Any Psychotropic Drug can decrease violence or suicide.
6. Evidence That Psychotropic Drugs do not in fact increase violence or suicide?
“You’ve clearly never met a person suffering from schizophrenia or major depression. I have. You need to meet some of these people, and then form an opinion. I’m a doctor.”
You clearly need to answer these questions and site your sources, and I will have my professional team look at them, I am not a doctor, but I have so many people that I know and have met that have been labeled like this and what you say is not true so what kind of a doctor does this make you? You are wrong in what you do, all people have some problems, but even psychiatrist have come out against what is going on and you know it, if you can answer these questions with more then I am a doctor then answer them on here and site your sources otherwise you need to not answer this. Thanks.
At least please do not expect people to fall for this just because you say that you are a doctor. I know the truth and some of them don’t, and this is unethical of you.
“There are many diagnostic tools…The most important tool is the doctor’s brain,” this is kind of true, so find out the truth get the answer to those questions. You can’t.
“Every medical test has limits. None is perfect” this is not exactly true some are more reliable and valid then others. If you need to cut my toenail off I don’t want you to cut my toe off do I? Is it my heart or lungs or liver?
“I would gather information from a variety of sources, including second and third opinions,” yes, I am sure that you would, but if you don’t have that right then what? “It’s your body,” that is true and that is why this is important.
“You also have the obligation not to expect the government to pick up the tab.” Who do you think is over mental health? Have you ever been poor and needed good health care? “You have the obligation to be truthful,” so do you!
The government owes it to the public to tell the truth and so do doctors and have no right to use coercion and force!
“You seem a little paranoid. What is your point? And start with this: DEFINE ‘medical disease’.” Your actually being silly trying to avoid the truth of what I am saying here. Your thing may say that you are a doc that is hard for me to believe, answer these questions and then I will answer anything that you want me too, that is fair! I have lots of people watching this you all are aware of this right?
Hey QW this was a long answer, but not right for this question.
These medical people can’t answer these questions, they have been asked repeatedly and they know it. If the APA, the Gov., and NAMI can’t answer these questions then no one here can either as far as I know.
Some so say doctors treat people like they are guinna pigs, they do it all the time, like they are no more educated then you. They test theories out on animals and then say it is relative to us human beings and sometimes it is and sometimes not. Then they do small studies and have them published and argue with each other about who is right and the world thinks that they have the answers when they don’t.
They have to stop the misperceptions. Our system is in need of overhaul and someone must hold the medical people accountable for telling the truth and answering the important questions like these that I have posted here several times. Otherwise some people are being misled, perhaps like you?
Reify you are so right and the thing is they are just labeling or calling names when they do this for purposes of insurance companies needing to be billed. After all someone must get paid.
The question you asked I think is, what is normal and what do we actually now mean by crazy or insane? Those are good questions. What do we mean?
What does it all mean besides another way of calling people names and using coercion and force of the courts to make people do what one wants them to do or control others, or take a mind altering addictive pill for which no one really knows how it will affect anyone else.
I do think that sometimes all of us, even the good “doctors”, have problems they may need some kind of assistance with (psychiatrist committ suicide many times),
Asking for assistance now though is even different in meaning then it started out to be isn’t it? If it isn’t really the help that one is asking for or needs, it really isn’t help at all is it?
