mental health and stupid psychiatrists

You don't have to take the medication, just pretend and flush it

pills aren't going to magically fix you, you have to work towards a better life it just doesn't get handed to you.

>psychiatrist

There's your problem right there. Their job is not to help you overcome your problems, their job is to discern whether medication could benefit you and write you prescriptions for it.

If you want to work on improving and not needing medication, see a psychologist (not psychiatrist) who specialises in cognitive behavioural therapy

well which one gives you medication? it could be a psychologist..?

I don't even know thats how fucked it is.

>>35168537
The mental heatlh community is literal bullshit. I don't disagree with the fact that their are mentally ill people(me included) but the medicine that they prescribe and their whole shit is useless.

I have never had someone in the health community help me at all.

SOMEONE EXPLAIN LAIN TO ME

You have to keep watching it. All you could ever learn is within your reach. Study what you're seeing and watching! good luck friend. I am on my second watch-through and I MUST tell you everything I am catching, the symbology, the dialogue, the references, its all connected. SEL is too deep for its own good, the show has Bible-tier depth.

>medication for depression
It's the biggest scam in medical history. The side effects you get from them on the long run can harm you more than depression itself. Even worse if you think that's what causing them.

I used to suffer from depression and made plans when to kill myself. Fortunately or unfortunately (depending on how you see it), I had a surge of thoughts like:
>why do I need friends?
>why do I need a lover?
>do I actually want those?
>or do I just think I want them because others said so?

Truth be told, ever since I was 6 I grew up with videogames. My standards in regards to having fun would get high each year. Spending time outside became boring. Playing outside with other kids was an annoyance because I would always think about the time I wouldn't play videogames.

I fell into the normie meme around highschool and tried to become one because others said that's the only way to live. Apparently that's not the case. In college I managed to get back to my roots and today I'm feeling way better compared to my teenager days.

The best cure for depression is yourself. You have to find what works for you to get out of it. Sometimes stating what can work as examples may actually nullify the effect.

I'm not going into details what worked for me, but Placebo Effect and creating by myself a new psychological issue in order to remove depression made my life better. It's not ideal but it's better than before

Medication ruins your body and any type of person from the psychology field is interested in money more than making you healthy.
They might help you after you spent a certain amount of money or if they actually care about helping others in need. But the cure may not be for a lifetime.

Whats it like having a 3.5 inch dick?

>>35168537
that's really all psychatrists can do, I guess.
I allways get send to someone else, finally have an appointment at an university clinc, dont know if that stuff exists in your countries.

Basically why don't you try to find a therapist?
>I know in some countries there is no licence for being a therapist
>>35168596
this. even if you take medication, therapie can be very helpfull
>>35169139
I have depressions, first medicine i tried helped alot.

>>35168569
This. SSRIs and antipsychotics are fucking poison, I'm prescribed the latter for my schizophrenia but since I mostly experience negative symptoms, I flush the damn thing down the toilet unless I notice positive symptoms.

Also, I take as little benzo and sleep aids as I can and I hoard the rest, taking only the bare minimum needed. Moreover, I exercise, meditate a lot and I take vitamins just in case: its not going to cure anything but you know the saying, "a sound mind in a sound body".

I see a very clear Godard influence with all the trippy typography cutaways. Is it confirmed anywhere?

>>35169794
Can you tell me more aboutyour experience? I have a friend who has schizophrenia too and I'm trying my best to understand his struggle with therapy.

What do you think would be best for him if he didn't respond well to therapy?

>>35169910
It depends, there are several kinds of schizophrenia.

What do you want to know? In what ways is his therapy not going well?

>>35169941
I,m so glad I found someone who can give me advice. Thank you.

He told me he had it at a very young age. He never specified what subtype his is, but he seemed normal enough when I talked to him. He experiences auditory hallucinations daily and his voice is affected too. He actually didn't tell me anything beyond medication not having any positive effects. He feels hopeless that nothing will ever alleviate the suffering he has been enduring all his life. Is there anything at all I can say to him? I'm desperately to find the right words to convince him there's still hope but it,s frustrating that I can't because I don,t know how it really is.

Unfortunately, your friend is kinda right, schizophrenia cannot be cured: medication and therapy can alleviate the symptoms we suffer from but that's about it.
As his friend, the best advice I can give you is to simply remain his friend: I was very sociable and happy as a kid. However, I was struck by my first psychosis at age 14, I was convinced people were laughing at me and I'd have auditory hallucinations of my parents/guests talking shit about me right in front of me. This went on for a year until I had my next psychosis at age 21 (I'm now 25), during all these years I became more and more gloomy and lost all of my friends except one. Needless to say, I'm grateful that he stuck with me despite having to shoulder my problems.

You said your friend has auditory hallucinations, keep in mind that whatever he hears (despite not actually existing) is very real to him. If you say something completely mundane to him and he looks like you just insulted him, it is very possible that he hallucinated you insulting him. In that case, it wouldn't hurt to have him make you repeat yourself (or write down what you actually said depending on how strong the hallucinations are): assuming your friend isn't paranoid and/or hiding his paranoia, I think this should help. Also keep in mind that hallucinations are tiring if not downright stressful: I've had a disembodied, deep, male voice yelling at me to shut the fuck up for example.

As for having no hope, blunted affect, anhedonia and avolition are very common symptoms for schizophrenic people. There is unfortunately not much you can do about that, if he still has hobbies however, it's worth a try to get involved in them as well just so you can have something in common with him.

Whatever the case is, never leave him completely alone for long periods of time especially if he hears voices: he might start believing them given enough time and do stupid shit as a result. Hell, even if he remains lucid, hearing shit 24 hours a day will eventually take its toll. If your presence can alleviate his symptoms, it's worth the trouble of hanging around with him.

TOP KEK.

You flipped the rant upside down. It's usually the psychologists that are worthless.

Meds help if you actually have mental illness. No amount of therapy is going to fix a chemical imbalance in your brain.
