I can tell you that 9 out of 10 physicians (and other HCPs) who have attempted to "treat" me, very definitely found their "medical degrees" in a Cracker Jack box, because the "medical profession" as it is constituted today is the most exploitative, abusive, pseudo-scientific bullshit factories I have ever seen. It doesn't take a "medical degree" to see through their transparent fairy tales that pass as diagnostics and treatments. It's a travesty. Your tax dollars at work.
Fortune tellers and psychopractitioners both come to some very authoritative-sounding, wild conclusions, especially if you're not very articulate or are outright lying to them. Small wonder both are popular with the kids.
The confidence in their own prognoses--despite no concrete evidence whatsoever--is impressive to behold.
Yes indeed; most mental disorders are 100% diagnosed by outward behavior and claims made by the unreliable narrator that is the patient.
Also, I've noticed that psychiatrists use very precise wording to communicate and ask questions, and all their words have very well-defined meanings, but those meanings are elusive to the smartest of mental patients. What does it mean, pray tell, when a physician asks you "are you hearing voices?" How much sleep have you been getting? Oh, you haven't meticulously logged it on graph paper every day for a month? Just estimate your sleep hours, unreliable narrator.
Also, physicians are prohibited from using technical jargon when communicating with patients; they must use layman's terms only. So this leads to a wonderful cornucopia of confusion when your patient is well-informed and educated about the relevant medical terminology, but the doctor can't oblige that mode of communication, and garble garble fluzzle zinko.
Most judgements on me are passed completely based on affect and demeanor. My affect can mean the difference between a cordial 20-minute sit-down with the doc or a 3-week "voluntary, not really" hospital incarceration that will cost $60,000.
I expected no less from this massive propaganda of psychiatric killing that is ongoing. Your comment is a tiny hope in the hell they have created, wish you the best.
